The Hawks listed Dyson Daniels day-to-day Monday afternoon with a rest issue ahead of tonight's game against the Thunder. His availability for the matchup is unresolved as of the report.
What happened
The injury report released Monday at 5:39 PM ET lists Dyson Daniels as day-to-day with a rest issue, categorized as other. He had no previous status listed before this report. The report notes that Daniels played Thursday in a 123-116 preseason win over the Spurs, putting up 13 points on 6-for-16 shooting, including 1-for-3 from three, with 11 rebounds, an assist and a steal in 21 minutes. Atlanta has not announced further detail on the rest designation.
What it means for the Hawks
Atlanta is set to play the Thunder tonight, Monday at 7:00 PM ET. The Hawks have not started the 2026-27 regular season and sit at 0-0, so there is no record with or without Daniels to point to yet. Last season he averaged 11.9 points, 6.8 rebounds and 5.9 assists over 33.2 minutes across 76 games. If he sits, the backcourt load would fall to Trae Young, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and CJ McCollum, who combined to average between 18.7 and 20.8 points last season in the minutes Daniels was off the floor.
What to watch
The team has an expected return date of Oct. 16 attached to Daniels' day-to-day listing. No further injury report has been issued beyond Monday's 5:39 PM ET update. Atlanta's next game is tonight against the Thunder, with the 2026-27 regular season opener still ahead.
