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.
