On Monday morning, Fenerbahce Beko formally placed Wade Baldwin IV on the injury list.
Baldwin, 28, picked up a hamstring injury last Friday, in Round 8 of the 2024-25 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season against LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne in LDLC Arena. Rehab is underway, as noted by the Istanbul outfit.
He is expected to be sidelined for the next three to four weeks, as reported by Eurohoops’ Bugra Uzar.

The Vanderbilt product, a veteran of 63 NBA games, started his sixth EuroLeague campaign with 10.1 points, 4.0 assists, 2.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 0.2 blocks per contest. He was a starter for head coach Sarunas Jasikevicius across the first eight team showings. Over two games played in the Turkiye Sigorta Basketbol Super Ligi, he had 4.0 points and 3.0 assists per contest.
With Scottie Wilbekin ruled out for the remainder of the season after undergoing surgery in his right knee in October and 20-year-old Yigit Hamza Mestoglu also recovering from an operation in his right knee, the remaining Fener players are healthy and available heading to the next two-game week of Europe’s premier club continental competition. The packed schedule features FC Bayern Munich in Ulker Sports Arena on Tuesday and a visit to Zalgiris on Friday.
Coming out of the EuroLeague double-game week, Fenerbahce will host crosstown rival Anadolu Efes in Ulker Sports Arena without Baldwin on Sunday. Looking to catch up in the BSL standings, a potential win would match the Istanbul outfits at 6-1.
