Daniels, a significant contributor to the Pelicans' rotation this season, has been logging an average of 21.9 minutes, 5.5 points, and 1.4 steals per game -- placing him in the Top 10 in the NBA in steals.

Daniels and Jonas Valanciunas were the only New Orleans players to participate in each of the initial 52 regular season games of 2023-24. Unfortunately, Daniels missed the most recent game, with the team citing his absence due to left knee soreness.

The 20-year-old Australian guard, drafted eighth overall in the 2022 NBA Draft, transitioned to the league after a stint with NBA G League Ignite.
