Wade Baldwin suffers hamstring injury, out indefinitely
Wade Baldwin IV suffered a grade one hamstring injury, and his treatment has begun, Fenerbahce announced. No clear return date has been officially communicated.Wade Baldwin IV exited the EuroLeague game against LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne early after a collision. Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul have shared an update on the player’s health.
Although it initially looked like a knee injury after Baldwin collided with David Lighty, the Turkish club announced that the superstar guard suffered a hamstring injury.
No return timeline has been provided so far, with Fenerbahce stating that the player has suffered a Grade 1 injury and the treatment has begun.
When the Indiana Pacers star guard Tyrese Haliburton suffered a Grade 1 hamstring strain last season, he was set to be re-evaluated in two weeks, but his recovery was deemed ahead of schedule, and he returned to court after 11 days. Haliburton then missed five more games before fully returning to the court.
Baldwin was a marquee signing this past summer after becoming a superstar in Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv. This season, the 28-year-old guard averages 10.1 points, 2.6 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1.1 steals for 9.6 PIR for Fenerbahce.
Despite a slight decrease in numbers, Fenerbahce’s head coach, Sarunas Jasikevicius, recently praised Baldwin for his integration into the team.
Fenerbahce are now set to play without arguably the two most important guards on the roster, as Scottie Wilbekin is set to miss multiple months of action with an ACL tear.
