Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Daishen Nix was born in Fairbanks, Alaska, in February of 2002. He is the son of Mina Tupuola who played basketball at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Nix moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, as a teenager and led his high school to back-to-back state championships in his sophomore and junior seasons in which he averaged 19.9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 5.1 assists as a junior. He was a five-star prospect in the 2020 recruiting class, committing for UCLA before ultimately forgoing his collegiate eligibility to join the NBA G-League Ignite. As part of the Ignite in 2021, Nix averaged 8.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists and was not selected in the 2021 NBA Draft. After playing for the Philadelphia 76ers summer league team, Nix later signed a two-way contract with the Houston Rockets and their G-League Affiliate.

Ruled out Monday
GMinnesota Timberwolves
Ankle
December 23, 2024
NIx (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Nix will sit out Monday after sustaining a sprained right ankle during the Iowa Wolves' G League loss to the Sioux Falls Skyforce on Saturday. The two-way guard has seen minimal playing time at the NBA level this season, and his absence shouldn't cause any waves in the rotation.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Falling out of first round?
GFree Agent
June 30, 2021
Nix was one of the notable disappointments at the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago, according to Jeremy Woo of SI.
ANALYSIS
A well-regarded high school prospect, Nix spent the season with the G League Ignite but delivered a disappointing campaign, averaging just 8.8 points with 5.3 assists and 5.3 rebounds per contest. Scouts were hoping that he could make a positive impression at the Combine, but Nix struggled during five-on-five play and didn't do much to change any opinions. He also weighed in at 225 pounds -- a hefty number for a 6-4 point guard - though he did test fairly well athletically. As of now, Woo notes that Nix likely "profiles as a second-rounder."
