McDaniels and the Pelicans agreed to a deal Monday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

EDGE Analysis

Terms of the deal were not yet disclosed, so it's unclear if this is a standard contract or a training camp invite. McDaniels has 252 career regular-season appearances under his belt with averages of 6.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.7 steals on 44.9 percent shooting from the field.

The Wizards released McDaniels on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

McDaniels still had one day remaining on his 10-day contract, but the Wizards opted to release him ahead of Monday's 106-90 loss to the Heat to free up a 15-man roster spot for Justin Champagnie, who was upgraded from a two-way contract. McDaniels appeared in four games during his brief stay with Washington and played seven total minutes.

McDaniels agreed to a 10-day deal with the Wizards on Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 6-foot-9 forward will get his first taste of the NBA in 2024-25 after he saw time with the Hornets, 76ers and Raptors across the previous five seasons. After getting cut by the Spurs in training camp, McDaniels linked up with the Wizards' G League affiliate, the Capital City Go-Go. In 26 games for the Go-Go, the 27-year-old forward has averaged 12.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.2 three-pointers and 1.1 steals in 29.7 minutes per game while shooting 45.1 percent from the field and 33.7 percent from three-point range.

The Spurs waived McDaniels on Wednesday, per the NBA transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

The Spurs acquired McDaniels and a second-round pick via trade Monday, but he'll be cut loose just two days later. The 26-year-old appeared in 50 regular-season games for Toronto last season, averaging 3.4 points, 1.6 rebounds and 0.7 assists across 10.8 minutes.

McDaniels was traded to the Spurs on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Spurs also secured a second-round pick with this transaction. McDaniels is a versatile defender, but the Spurs have a lot of depth at both forward spots, so it will be tough for him to crack the rotation. In fact, the Spurs are planning to waive him in the near future, Charania adds in his report. In 248 career regular-season games, McDaniels holds averages of 6.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists.

The Raptors traded McDaniels to the Kings in exchange for Davion Mitchell, Sasha Vezenkov, the No. 45 pick in 2024 NBA Draft and a second-round pick in the 2025 NBA Draft via Portland on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

During his first year in Toronto, McDaniels served as depth in the team's forward rotation. In 2023-24, he averaged 3.4 points and 1.6 rebounds in 10.8 minutes across 50 appearances, including one start. However, the 25-year-old mightily struggled with his efficiency, posting 34.4/16.9/73.0 shooting splits. If McDaniels isn't able to drastically increase his offensive output, he will likely struggle to find minutes in Sacramento.

McDaniels will come off the bench in Friday's game versus the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

With RJ Barrett back in the starting lineup, McDaniels will slide back into his usual reserve role. He has averaged 3.1 points, 1.5 rebounds and 0.6 assists across 9.8 minutes in 44 games off the bench this season.

McDaniels had 13 points (6-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds and four assists over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 133-85 loss to the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

McDaniels played 37 minutes at power forward in his first start of the season. The San Diego State product has failed to catch on with the team, averaging only 10.4 minutes on the floor over 45 games. He's now with his third team over five seasons, and although we may see more of him as the season draws to a close, it may be too late for him to show his stuff.

McDaniels will enter the first unit for Wednesday's game against Minnesota, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McDaniels will join Immanuel Quickley, Garrett Temple, Gradey Dick and Malik Williams in the first unit for the shorthanded Raptors, who only have eight players available. It'll be McDaniels first start of 2023-24 and a strong opportunity to score in double figures for the fourth time this year.

McDaniels logged 12 points (5-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and three steals in 19 minutes during Monday's 125-119 loss to the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

McDaniels was outside of the rotation for a while, but injuries have afforded him another chance in Toronto. He's capable of filling up a stat sheet, especially on the defensive end, so he's someone for fantasy managers to keep an eye on down the stretch.
