Early life

Baynes was born in Gisborne, New Zealand to New Zealand parents in 1986. [1] His family moved to the small Australian town of Mareeba, Queensland when he was three years of age. [2] [3] He grew up playing rugby league in Far North Queensland while attending Mareeba State High School until the age of 15 when his older brother, Callum, introduced him to basketball. [4] As a result, Baynes decided to focus on pursuing a career in basketball and subsequently quit rugby league. Shortly after high school graduation, he joined the Australian Institute of Sport in 2004–05 and accepted a college scholarship offer from Tony Bennett to play for Washington State University in 2006. [5] During his college career under Bennett, Washington State tied the school wins record twice consecutively, going 26–8 in 2006–07 and 26–9 in 2007–08.

On 12 July 2015, Baynes signed with the Detroit Pistons. [26] On 19 March 2016, he scored a career-high 21 points in a 115–103 win over the Brooklyn Nets. [27]

Boston Celtics (2017–2019)

On 19 July 2017, Baynes signed with the Boston Celtics. [30] In a game against the Charlotte Hornets, Baynes injured Celtics teammate and star point guard Kyrie Irving. On 8 November 2017, he matched his career high with 21 points in a 107–96 win over the Los Angeles Lakers. [31] In the Celtics' regular season finale on 11 April 2018, Baynes led a short-handed Boston lineup with a career-best 26 points and 14 rebounds in a 110–97 win over the Brooklyn Nets. [32]

On 7 July 2018, Baynes re-signed with the Celtics. [33] On 19 December 2018, in a 111–103 loss to the Phoenix Suns, Baynes broke a bone in his left hand. [34] He was subsequently ruled out for four to six weeks. [35] He returned to action on 16 January 2019 against the Toronto Raptors. [36] On 3 February, he was sidelined with a left foot contusion. [37]

Phoenix Suns (2019–2020)

On 6 July 2019, Baynes, along with the draft rights to Ty Jerome, was traded to the Phoenix Suns for a 2020 protected first-round pick. [38] After Deandre Ayton was suspended for 25 games due to diuretic usage on 24 October, Baynes was promoted to being the team's starting center during that period of time. On 30 October, Baynes recorded 24 points, 12 rebounds, and a career-high 7 assists in a 121–110 win over the Golden State Warriors. [39] On 6 March 2020, Baynes scored 37 points and hit nine three-pointers, both career-highs, along with 16 rebounds, in a 127–117 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers. [40] [41] He not only tied a franchise record for most three-pointers made in a single game, [40] [41] but he also joins James Harden as the only other player to record 35+ points, 15+ rebounds, and 9 three-pointers in a single game. [42] [43]

On 23 June 2020, the Suns reported that two of their own players tested positive for COVID-19. [44] In an interview on 22 July, Baynes revealed himself as one of the two players to test positive for COVID-19. [45] Unlike his other teammate that tested positive, Baynes did rejoin the team in the 2020 NBA Bubble until after the scrimmage games were finished, making sure he completely tested negative for the virus before entering the bubble. Because of his late entry and subsequent quarantine period, he was not able to play on 31 July against the Washington Wizards. [46] After recovering from the virus, Baynes was later diagnosed with a right knee contusion, leaving him out of action for the rest of the resumed regular season. [47] Despite being out of action for most of the game, Baynes was considered clear to play for the team's last game of the season, but decided against it despite the blowout 128–102 win over the Dallas Mavericks, ending the resumed season with an 8–0 record. [48]

Toronto Raptors (2020–2021)

On 25 November 2020, the Toronto Raptors signed Baynes to a multi-year contract. [49] On 31 January 2021, Baynes had eight points and a season-high 16 rebounds in a 115–102 win against the Orlando Magic. [50] On 4 August 2021, he was waived by the Raptors. [51]

Brisbane Bullets (2022–2024)

After suffering a career-threatening spinal cord injury during the Tokyo Olympics, Baynes returned to professional basketball by signing a two-year deal with the Brisbane Bullets of the National Basketball League on 28 July 2022. [52] [53] In a match on October 7, 2023 against Cairns Taipans, Baynes was handed a five-game suspension for unsportsmanlike conduct, unacceptable basketball act and excessive disputing following his ejection from the match. [54] Despite being the highest paid player in the 2023–24 NBL season, at 37 years old, he averaged only 13 minutes a game over the first half of the season. [55]

National team career

Baynes has played for the Australian national team, the Boomers, at the 2010 FIBA World Championship in Turkey, the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, [56] the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup in Spain, [57] the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, and the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup in China. Baynes was also part of the national team for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, but a spinal cord injury ruled him out for the second half of the tournament as the Boomers went on to win the bronze medal. [58]

Baynes' injury at the Tokyo Olympics was much more serious than had initially been reported, [59] and as of January 2022, he was still recovering with hopes of returning to the NBA. [60]
