Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 09:47:50 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Neither owns a championship like Jordan Poole. Neither averaged 20 points per game, lit it up in the playoffs, nor got embroiled in national news like Poole. Their names weren’t included in initial reports, and essentially became footnotes once last summer’s trade got finalized.But Patrick Baldwin Jr. and Ryan Rollins, like Poole, returned to the Chase Center for the first time since the Warriors sent them to the Wizards for Chris Paul in a franchise-shifting move.
