Timberwolves' Daishen Nix: Inks two-way contract
Nix signed a two-way contract with the Timberwolves on Wednesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Nix will be on a two-way deal with Minnesota for a second consecutive season after appearing in 15 games with the T-Wolves in 2023-24. Considering he played sparingly last season and Minnesota used its first-round pick on a point guard in Rob Dillingham, Nix will likely spend most of the upcoming season in the G League.

Timberwolves' Daishen Nix: Joins Minnesota
Nix agreed to a one-year deal with the Timberwolves on Sunday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Nix, who spent his first two seasons in the NBA with the Rockets, will continue his career in Minnesota, presumably joining the Timberwolves on an Exhibit 10 deal. He appeared in 57 games (seven starts) in 2022-23, averaging 4.0 points, 1.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 16.0 minutes. He'll have an uphill battle to earn a spot on the Wolves' opening night roster.

Daishen Nix: Let go by Houston
The Rockets waived Nix on Thursday, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.
After drafting Amen Thompson and Jalen Green in back-to-back years, the Rockets now have an influx of guards. Nix struggled in his second season in Houston, averaging 4.0 points, 2.3 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 16.0 minutes across 57 appearances in 2022-23. However, his 34.2/28.6/66.7 shooting splits were alarming and likely resulted in his release.

Rockets' Daishen Nix: Fails to score in 11 minutes
Nix notched zero points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over 11 minutes during Sunday's 134-109 loss to the Lakers.
Nix was a non-factor in the loss, continuing what has been an underwhelming stretch of games. He has failed to score in double figures since late February, despite the fact he has been a part of the rotation on most nights. While the Rockets are clearly building for the future, it is unlikely Nix features heavily in their long-term plans. His fantasy value is basically non-existent at this point.

Rockets' Daishen Nix: Scores nine off bench
Nix recorded nine points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 20 minutes during Friday's 151-114 loss to Memphis.
Nix's minutes have been fairly low, but he was able to get a good chunk of minutes in garbage time Friday. The Rockets have a back-to-back set coming up starting Sunday, so he could be a candidate to see more minutes if the Rockets sit some veterans.

Rockets' Daishen Nix: Heads back to bench
Nix will move back to the bench Saturday against the Bulls, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Kevin Porter (thigh contusion) is returning from a one-game absence, so there are no surprises here. Nix did not take advantage of his expanded opportunity Thursday versus Indiana, as he was held to six points on 25 percent shooting in 35 minutes.

Rockets' Daishen Nix: Fails to deliver in start
Nix chipped in six points (3-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt), seven rebounds and two assists across 35 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 134-125 overtime loss to Indiana.
Nix moved into the starting lineup Thursday, replacing Kevin Porter, who was ruled out due to a thigh injury. Despite playing 35 minutes, Nix failed to come through with the goods. While TyTy Washington continues to bide his time on the bench, head coach Stephen Silas has thus far refused to shake up the team's rotation. As long as Nix continues to log meaningful minutes, he is at least worth a look in deeper formats.

Rockets' Daishen Nix: Set to start against Indiana
Coach Stephen Silas said Nix is expected to be in the starting lineup for Thursday's game versus the Pacers, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Nix is slated to replace Kevin Porter (thigh) in the starting five Thursday despite not seeing any playing time in the last two games. Nix is averaging 6.8 points, 4.0 assists and 2.5 rebounds in 28.7 minutes across his previous six outings starting this season.
