Not sure the specific number of games he had left, but I recall reading from someone who is real clued in on NBA rules back when Goodwin first got called up, and I believe they said he had 19 games he could be on the roster before the lakers need to make a decision (send back down, or give a real contract). I also believe that simply being on the roster, whether or not he plays, counts as one of those 19 games. So there was one game early on where he was dressed but got no playing time, and then he just missed a few games for injury but was still on the roster, so if I’m not mistaken, all those games would count against the 19.
