McDaniels was reassigned to the D-League on Friday, Mark Berman of Fox 26 in Houston reports.

Analysis:

McDaniels is still considered a relatively high-upside prospect, but he's been unable to crack the Rockets' rotation this season, appearing in only seven games and logging a total of 36 minutes. He'll join the Rio Grande Valley Vipers for an opportunity to see big minutes in a competitive environment.
