Aussies in the NBA: Regular season report and contract status of every player
Another huge contingent of Aussies have battled it out in the NBA this season, and plenty could have big decisions to make this coming off season.

2025/26 Contract Status: Team option picked up by Hawks (USD$7.7 million)

When Dyson Daniels dreamed up what this season might look like he may not have even been able to imagine this.
A finalist for both the Defensive Player of the Year and Most Improved Player, Daniels has been a revelation in the league. His first season with the Hawks saw him cement a key starting position alongside Trae Young.
Daniels’ league-leading 229 steals was almost 100 better than the next best and was the most in a single campaign since Gary Payton way back in 1995/96, which was the same season the Sonic made the Finals.
Atlanta’s end to the season was bitterly disappointing, missing out twice in the play-in. Change could be afoot, however, Daniels isn’t likely to go anywhere, with the Hawks picking up his team option for 2025/26.
