Dyson Daniels Stats

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Dyson Daniels (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's clash with the Timberwolves. He hurt his right ankle Tuesday against Denver, and the 19-rookie will have to sit out at least one game. It's a bad blow for Daniels, as he had just started to play a significant role on the team, logging at least 25 minutes of action in six consecutive games. Daniels has averaged less than 20 minutes a night for the season, and the limited playing time hasn't allowed him to do a lot, with him having averaged only 4.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Dyson Daniels (ankle) will not return Tuesday against the Denver Nuggets. An already shorthanded team loses another piece as Daniels suffered a right ankle injury before leaving Tuesday's game. The Pelicans are already without Zion Williamson (hamstring), Brandon Ingram (toe) and Naji Marshall (toe) which lead to Daniels playing more the last few games. Jaxson Hayes, Trey Murphy III and Jose Alvarado should see increased minutes with Daniels out.

New Orleans Pelicans rookie guard Dyson Daniels (ankle) suffered an ankle injury during Saturday's Summer League game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The injury occurred during a play where he drove to the hoop and landed awkwardly on a defender's foot. He was removed from the game after the incident. Luckily, X-rays came back negative and the injury doesn't seem to be anything major. Daniels was the eighth overall pick in this year's draft and the Blazers will likely be cautious with him so there's a good chance we won't see him in Summer League action again. He played just eight minutes in Saturday's game and shot 0-for-5 from the field and 1-for-2 from the free throw line while compiling one point, two assists, one rebound and one steal.
