Patrick Baldwin Jr. News, Rumors, Updates - Sacramento Kings

Scores five points in start Baldwin racked up five points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 134-90 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Despite logging a season-high 28 minutes, Baldwin failed to make the most of his opportunity. He has been mostly a non-factor this season, having suited up on just nine occasions thus far, averaging 3.7 points and 2.6 rebounds in 11.4 minutes per contest. At this point, there are likely more appealing targets on most waiver wires.

Baldwin is averaging 3.5 points and 2.4 rebounds in 9.4 minutes over eight games this year for the Kings, but he'll presumably be much more involved Tuesday evening.

Sitting out Saturday Baldwin (two-way) is listed out for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

Impact While he remains signed to a two-way contract, Baldwin is eligible to suit up for just eight of the Kings' remaining 15 contests, so he'll be inactive Saturday as the team looks to manage his availability down the stretch.

He played 38 minutes in Stockton's 123-121 overtime with over the Sioux Falls Skyforce, finishing with 31 points (10-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block.

Impact Baldwin had averaged 3.0 points and 3.3 rebounds in 12.7 minutes per game while suiting up in each of the Kings' previous three contests, but Sacramento opted to hold out the two-way forward Tuesday in order to manage his availability for the rest of the campaign. The 23-year-old is eligible to play in 11 of the Kings' remaining 19 contests, so he'll be inactive on a few more occasions as the season winds down.

Lands two-way deal with Sacramento Baldwin signed a two-way contract with the Kings on Sunday.

Impact The fourth-year forward will fill the Kings' third and final two-way slot, which opened up when Dylan Cardwell was upgraded to a standard NBA contract earlier this month. Sacramento marks the third stop of the season for Baldwin, who previously made three appearances at the NBA level over the course of 10-day deals with the Clippers and 76ers. Baldwin saw limited playing time with those two clubs but could have a clearer path to meaningful minutes on a Kings squad that lost four players to long-term injuries following the All-Star break.

Contract expires Sunday Baldwin became a free agent Sunday after his 10-day contract with the 76ers expired.

Impact Baldwin signed a 10-day pact with Philadelphia on Feb. 5 and appeared in one game with the club, grabbing one rebound in two minutes during Monday's loss to Portland. Unless the 76ers opt to retain him on a second 10-day deal or if he lands a roster spot with another NBA team, Baldwin will likely rejoin the G League's San Diego Clippers. Over 25 games with San Diego this season, Baldwin has averaged 21.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.8 three-pointers and 1.6 steals in 33.6 minutes per game.

Joining Philly on 10-day deal The 76ers signed Baldwin to a 10-day contract Thursday, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Impact The 23-year-old forward will join an NBA roster for the second time this season, after he previously inked a 10-day deal with the Clippers in January. Baldwin will meet up with the 76ers in advance of Thursday's game in Los Angeles versus the Lakers, but he's unlikely to be included in the rotation. The addition of Baldwin gives Philadelphia 14 players signed to standard contracts, which means the team will have to either sign another player or convert one of Dominick Barlow or Jabari Walker from a two-way deal to ensure Barlow -- who has moved into a full-time starting role -- remains eligible to play in NBA games.

Not available Friday Baldwin (recently signed) won't play in Friday's game against the Raptors but will join the Clippers for Monday's game in Washington, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
