The Washington Wizards are sending Patrick Baldwin Jr. to the G League's Capital City Go-Go for the second consecutive game as part of a roster adjustment. Baldwin, who was a first-round pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, made his debut with the Go-Go on Saturday, where he recorded eight points and four rebounds in 22 minutes. Despite appearing in 15 games for the Wizards this season, his average playing time is just over four minutes, indicating a struggle to secure a regular rotation role.
Acquired in the same trade that brought Jordan Poole from the Golden State Warriors during the 2023 offseason, Baldwin's future with the franchise seems uncertain. The Wizards have already declined his fourth-year option, adding pressure on Baldwin to perform. However, his limited opportunities suggest a potential trade could be on the horizon ahead of the February 6 deadline. Today, Baldwin and the Go-Go are set to face the Cleveland Charge at 2 p.m. ET.
