The Pels are 5-21 and cruelly have a longer list of health concerns than victories. “That organization’s cursed,” Daniels told me Wednesday. “Every year there’s something new. I’m happy I’m not there anymore.” His grin was wry. “Because of the curse?” I asked. “Yeah,” Daniels said. “The curse, man. I had like four or five ankle injuries down there as well.

Dyson Daniels’ defense, Trae Young’s offense too much for Knicks, Hawks advance to Las Vegas with NBA Cup win
Trae Young returning to his role as WWE heel in MSG, playing dice on the Knicks logo at the end of the game, was just icing on the cake.

More on this storyline
Dyson Daniels has already surpassed even the Hawks’ most optimistic expectations, going back to when Atlanta targeted the former No. 8 overall pick as a highly desired element of their return package for dealing Dejounte Murray to the Pelicans. “I wasn’t happy with how I played my first two years in New Orleans,” Daniels told me. “I was playing tense. I wasn’t happy with how I was providing for the team. I was fueled by that. I wanted to get back to being myself and playing free.” -via marcstein.substack.com / December 14, 2024

The Hawks are excited about their young quartet of players to build around: Dyson Daniels, Jalen Johnson, Onyeka Okongwu and the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NBA draft, Zaccharie Risacher. But given where the Hawks are, once again in the play-in race, if teams begin calling about their veterans, sources said, Atlanta will listen. -via ESPN / December 13, 2024
