Los Angeles Clippers have signed forward Patrick Baldwin Jr.

The Los Angeles Clippers have signed forward Patrick Baldwin Jr. from the Golden State Warriors and a playmaking point guard, both on “prove-it” deals, to bolster depth and versatility. Baldwin, drafted 28th overall in 2022, has split time between the NBA and G-League, averaging 3.7 points and 2.0 rebounds in 91 regular-season games while shooting 36.6% from three. His size, shooting, and positional flexibility could provide valuable wing depth if he seizes the opportunity.

The addition of a steady ball-handling guard addresses another key need, giving the Clippers a reliable backcourt option to complement James Harden and Kawhi Leonard. Known for emphasizing ball movement and creating driving lanes, the Clippers see both signings as calculated moves to strengthen their rotation and keep them competitive in a challenging Western Conference.
