However, he recently signed 10-day contracts with the Clips and Sixers, and now is back in the league on a two-way deal with Sacramento.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that this is Baldwin\u2019s fourth NBA season and he will no longer be two-way eligible in the offseason. He will be an unrestricted free agent this summer.<\/p>\n<p>A 7\u20190\u2033 power forward, Baldwin has appeared in 96 total NBA games since he was selected No. 28 overall in the 2022 draft. The 23-year-old holds career averages of 3.7 points and 2.0 rebounds in 8.8 minutes per game across his appearances with the Warriors, Wizards, Clippers and 76ers.<\/p>\n<p>In 26 total NBAGL games (33.8 MPG) with San Diego this season, Baldwin has averaged 21.3 PPG, 7.2 RPG, 2.9 APG and 1.3 SPG, with a shooting slash line of .518\/.336\/.667.<\/p>\n<p>The Kings were one of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hoopsrumors.com\/2026\/02\/seven-nba-teams-have-an-open-two-way-slot.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">seven NBA teams<\/a> with an open two-way spot, so no corresponding move was needed to add Baldwin. Sacramento still has a standard roster opening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Kings have signed free agent forward Patrick Baldwin Jr. to a two-way contract, the team announced in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":467501,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[5,4,24664],"class_list":{"0":"post-467500","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-hockey","9":"tag-nhl","10":"tag-patrick-baldwin-jr"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/467500","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=467500"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/467500\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/467501"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=467500"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=467500"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=467500"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
