Patrick Baldwin Jr., previously a Washington Wizards player, is heading to the San Antonio Spurs after being traded from the Milwaukee Bucks. In his two seasons, he averaged 2.1 points and 1.0 rebounds with a shooting percentage of 51.5%. Known for his potential, Baldwin Jr. was the 28th pick in the 2022 NBA Draft and has struggled to find his footing professionally.

The trade allows the Bucks to increase salary cap flexibility, aiding their strategic moves in the league. The Spurs, currently positioned 12th in the Western Conference, recently broke a losing streak with a close win against the Atlanta Hawks. In contrast, the Bucks maintain a solid position in the Eastern Conference playoff race.
