New Orleans Pelicans Assign Dyson Daniels to NBA G-League Affiliate

Daniels Will Join the Birmingham Squadron for More Playing Time

The New Orleans Pelicans have assigned rookie guard Dyson Daniels to their NBA G-League affiliate, the Birmingham Squadron. The move comes as the Pelicans look to give Daniels more playing time and experience in a competitive environment. Daniels has appeared in 11 games for the Pelicans this season, averaging 2.7 points and 2.2 rebounds in limited minutes.

The Birmingham Squadron is the NBA G-League affiliate of the Pelicans and is based in Birmingham, Alabama. The Squadron is currently 6-5 this season and is led by former NBA player and coach Tyrone Corbin.

Daniels is a 6'8″ guard from Australia who was selected by the Pelicans with the eighth overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft. He is a highly skilled and athletic player who can play both guard positions. Daniels is expected to play a significant role for the Pelicans in the future, and this assignment to the NBA G-League is seen as a positive step in his development.

Daniels Could Return to Pelicans Soon

Daniels is expected to spend some time with the Squadron before being recalled by the Pelicans. The Pelicans have a busy schedule coming up, and they may need Daniels to contribute at some point this season. Daniels is a talented player with a lot of potential, and the Pelicans are excited to see what he can do in the NBA G-League.

The NBA G-League is a developmental league that has helped many players reach the NBA. Some of the most notable players who have played in the NBA G-League include Jimmy Butler, Kawhi Leonard, and Pascal Siakam. The Pelicans are hoping that Daniels can follow in the footsteps of these players and become a valuable contributor to the team.
