The Raptors traded McDaniels to the Kings in exchange for Davion Mitchell, Sasha Vezenkov, the No. 45 pick in 2024 NBA Draft and a second-round pick in the 2025 NBA Draft via Portland on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. During his first year in Toronto, McDaniels served as depth in the team's forward rotation. In 2023-24, he averaged 3.4 points and 1.6 rebounds in 10.8 minutes across 50 appearances, including one start. However, the 25-year-old mightily struggled with his efficiency, posting 34.4/16.9/73.0 shooting splits. If McDaniels isn't able to drastically increase his offensive output, he will likely struggle to find minutes in Sacramento.

Jalen McDaniels Latest News
Headed to Sacramento
The Raptors traded McDaniels to the Kings in exchange for Davion Mitchell, Sasha Vezenkov, the No. 45 pick in 2024 NBA Draft and a second-round pick in the 2025 NBA Draft via Portland on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. During his first year in Toronto, McDaniels served as depth in the team's forward rotation. In 2023-24, he averaged 3.4 points and 1.6 rebounds in 10.8 minutes across 50 appearances, including one start. However, the 25-year-old mightily struggled with his efficiency, posting 34.4/16.9/73.0 shooting splits. If McDaniels isn't able to drastically increase his offensive output, he will likely struggle to find minutes in Sacramento.
Returns to reserve role
McDaniels will come off the bench in Friday's game versus the Bucks. With RJ Barrett back in the starting lineup, McDaniels will slide back into his usual reserve role. He has averaged 3.1 points, 1.5 rebounds and 0.6 assists across 9.8 minutes in 44 games off the bench this season.
Grabs eight boards in spot start
McDaniels had 13 points (6-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds and four assists over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 133-85 loss to the Timberwolves. McDaniels played 37 minutes at power forward in his first start of the season. The San Diego State product has failed to catch on with the team, averaging only 10.4 minutes on the floor over 45 games. He's now with his third team over five seasons, and although we may see more of him as the season draws to a close, it may be too late for him to show his stuff.
Starting Wednesday
McDaniels will enter the first unit for Wednesday's game against Minnesota, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports. McDaniels will join Immanuel Quickley, Garrett Temple, Gradey Dick and Malik Williams in the first unit for the shorthanded Raptors, who only have eight players available. It'll be McDaniels first start of 2023-24 and a strong opportunity to score in double figures for the fourth time this year.
Records three steals
McDaniels logged 12 points (5-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and three steals in 19 minutes during Monday's 125-119 loss to the Nuggets. McDaniels was outside of the rotation for a while, but injuries have afforded him another chance in Toronto. He's capable of filling up a stat sheet, especially on the defensive end, so he's someone for fantasy managers to keep an eye on down the stretch.
Available for Thursday
McDaniels (illness) will be available to play Thursday against the Suns, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports. While McDaniels will be available, that doesn't necessarily mean he'll touch the floor. He's an inconsistent part of the rotation and can safely remain on the waiver wire in most leagues.
Listed as probable Thursday
McDaniels (illness) has been upgraded to probable ahead of Thursday's game against the Suns. McDaniels has received inconsistent minutes all season, and his availability is not likely to affect the Raptors' rotation much. That said, he's trending in the right direction after initially being tagged as questionable.
Added to injury report
McDaniels is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Suns due to an illness. McDaniels has received inconsistent minutes for the Raptors this season. If the 25-year-old forward is ruled out, his absence shouldn't affect Toronto's rotation.
Rare appearance Friday
McDaniels logged zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) in one minute during Friday's 120-105 loss to the Warriors. McDaniels played one minute in the loss, cracking the rotation for just the second time in the past six games. Having played very few minutes this season, McDaniels is not someone to consider adding, even in the deepest leagues.
