McDaniels will be assigned to the D-League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Thursday, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Analysis:

McDaniels has bounced between the NBA and D-League all season as he continues to adjust to the NBA and sharpen his skill-set. After appearing in 52 games last year for the 76ers, the third-year shooting guard has only seen the court eleven times this season for the Rockets. In six games with the Vipers this season, McDaniels is averaging 13.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.2 blocks, and 1.2 steals in 38 minutes per game through six games.
