Wilkins went off for a new season high Friday, reaching the 30-part mark for the first time this year. At 38 years old, the ten-year veteran has shown no signs of slowing down in the G-League yet. Through five games, Wilkins has solidified himself as the dominant player for the Swarm's offense, as he is averaging an impressive 26.8 rebounds, 6.0 rebounds and 5.2 assists this season.

Damien Wilkins: Signs with G League club
Wilkins agreed to a contract Thursday with the G League's Greensboro Swarm, Scott Agness of VigilantSports.com reports.
After five years away from the NBA, Wilkins was able to earn his way back to the game's highest level upon winning a roster spot with the Pacers out of training camp. Though he made 19 appearances with Indiana, Wilkins did little to justify sticking around, as he shot 33.3 percent from the floor in those contests before being cut loose in January. He'll look to reestablish value in the G League during the second half of the season with the hopes of netting a 10-day contract from an NBA team over the final few months.

Damien Wilkins: Waived by Pacers
Wilkins was waived by the Pacers on Sunday, Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports reports.
Wilkins saw an expanded role over the last few games with the Pacers dealing with injuries, including a start on Saturday where he scored 11 points over 22 minutes. However, the Pacers are now set to wave the 37-year-old veteran, as his contract was going to guarantee today and Indiana desired some roster flexibility moving forward. Wilkins could head to G-League if he fails to receive interest elsewhere. No mater where he lands, he likely won't be a fantasy asset.

Pacers' Damien Wilkins: Sees limited minutes in Tuesday's preseason win
Wilkins went for three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one block in five minutes during Tuesday's 108-89 win over Haifa Maccabi.
Wilkins hit double figures in scoring in two of the three preseason games prior to Tuesday, and he was also averaging 24.0 minutes per night. At 37 years old, Wilkins is not on the fantasy radar outside of the deepest leagues, but the injury to fellow small forward Glenn Robinson III (ankle) opens up minutes at the club's thinnest position. In other words, don't be that surprised if Wilkins is the primary backup to Bojan Bogdanovic until Robinson returns.

Pacers' Damien Wilkins: Agrees to deal with Pacers
Wilkins and the Pacers have agreed to a one-year deal worth the veteran minimum, Michael Scotto of Basketball Insiders reports.
Wilkins spent this past season with the D-League's Greensboro Swarm, but at 37 years old, it'll be tough for the veteran to crack Indiana's rotation. He hasn't seen any minutes at the NBA level since 2012-2013 when he averaged 6.4 points per game with the 76ers.
