Maccabi Tel Aviv is reportedly close to signing American guard Kamar Baldwin, 29, to bolster their backcourt under coach Oded Katash. Baldwin is currently under contract with Bayern Munich but has a limited role, playing in only five EuroLeague games this season. For the transfer to be completed, Maccabi will need to reach a release agreement with the German club.
Baldwin has averaged 5.6 points, 1.6 assists, and 1.4 rebounds in the EuroLeague for Bayern this season, shooting 45.0% from the field and 22.2% from three-point range. In the German league, his averages are 7 points per game with significantly better shooting percentages: 56.1% from the field and 53.3% from three.
Baldwin first came to Europe in the 2020-21 season, playing for Turk Telekom Ankara. After a disappointing season there, he moved to Goettingen, where he averaged 19.2 points. He played in the NBA G League in 2022-23 before returning to Europe with Trento. In the 2023-24 season, he signed with Baskonia for his first EuroLeague opportunity, averaging 7.1 points and 3.7 assists. Last season, he joined Bayern Munich but suffered an injury that sidelined him for a significant period, limiting him to 16 games across all competitions. This season, despite hoping for a more prominent role, he has struggled to establish himself in the team's hierarchy.
