In 2008 Daniel experienced an ankle injury and was not able to play for some time. Despite the fact that he recovered from this injury quite quickly, he still felt the consequences of it, and of course it had an effect on his game. In the finals series he suffered a dislocated shoulder, Even so, he was selected to take part in post-season games, and was also runner-up in the three-point shootout.
Daniel’s number of appearances and effectiveness on court diminished after these injuries. He played a total of almost 450 games in seven seasons, but in 2013 Daniel decided to retire from his career as a professional basketball player.
