Dyson Daniels Heads Into 2026-27 Fresh Off a Full, Two-Way Season in Atlanta
newsroom · 2 h agoDyson Daniels remains with the Atlanta Hawks for 2026-27, wearing No. 5 at guard. He is not on the injury report. The season has not started, so the numbers on hand are from 2025-26, when he played all 76 games.
Who He Is
Dyson Daniels is a 23-year-old guard for the Atlanta Hawks, wearing No. 5. He stands 6-7 and weighs 199 pounds, with four years of NBA experience. He came into the league out of the NBA G League Ignite program rather than a college roster. Daniels was on the Hawks last season too, so there is no team change to track here — he heads into 2026-27 as a returning piece of Atlanta's guard rotation. At 6-7, he has the size to guard multiple positions, a trait that shows up across his statistical profile from last season.
Last Season by the Numbers
In 2025-26, Daniels played in all 76 games for Atlanta, averaging 33.2 minutes a night. He put up 11.9 points, 6.8 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game. Those are near-even numbers across the box score, the profile of a guard who contributes in more than one column rather than a pure scorer. His usage rate sat at 15.7 percent, meaning Atlanta's offense did not run primarily through him. He also averaged 1.8 turnovers a game, a modest number given how much of the ball he handled at 33-plus minutes a night.
Defense and Playmaking
Daniels' defensive numbers stood out last season: 2.0 steals per game and 0.4 blocks, to go with 5.9 assists. That combination of steals and assists points to a guard who is active passing lanes on defense and setting up teammates on offense. The Hawks used him heavily — 76 games played and 33.2 minutes a night is a full, healthy workload. There is nothing in his injury history from last season, and he enters this offseason with a clean bill of health, which matters for a player whose value leans on being on the floor for extended stretches.
Shooting and Efficiency
Daniels shot 51.7 percent from the field last season but just 18.8 percent from three-point range, on a true shooting mark of 54.2 percent. At the free-throw line he hit 61.5 percent. The gap between his overall field-goal percentage and his three-point number suggests most of his scoring came inside the arc last season rather than from long range. Atlanta's plus-minus data had Daniels at plus-4.0 for the season, a positive mark for a rotation player logging heavy minutes across a full 76-game slate.
Health Report
As of now, Daniels is not on the injury report. There is no injury history on file for him. Combined with having played all 76 games last season, the health picture heading into 2026-27 is clean. For a guard who logs 33-plus minutes a night and contributes across scoring, rebounding, assists and steals, staying off the injury report is exactly what the Hawks need from him as they look ahead to the new season.
Looking Ahead to 2026-27
The 2026-27 season has not started yet, so there are no current-season stats to report for Daniels. What is on record is a 2025-26 campaign in which he played all 76 games at 33.2 minutes, averaging 11.9 points, 6.8 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 2.0 steals for Atlanta. He remains with the Hawks for 2026-27, still wearing No. 5, still listed as a guard, and healthy going into the year. The opener is still ahead, and last season's numbers are the clearest guide to what he brings into it.
