Baker signed a one-year contract Thursday with CSKA Moscow of the EuroLeague, Sportando reports.
EDGE Analysis
Undrafted out of Wichita State in 2016, Baker ended up starting double-digit games as a rookie for the Knicks, but, due in part to injuries, he quickly fell out of favor and appeared in only 44 games over the last two seasons. Baker finished last year in Washington, where he failed to score a single point in 45 total minutes of action. The 26-year-old will now head overseas, where he'll have a much better chance to play an integral role on a night-to-night basis.

Baker underwent surgery to repair a torn right labrum Thursday, and he's expected to make a full recovery in 4-to-6 months, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Baker's shoulder was repaired by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, one of the top sports surgeons out there. Although Baker is currently a free agent, he should return to health sometime during the summer and could end up earning a spot on an NBA roster by the start of the 2019-20 campaign. However, given his struggles with the Knicks and Wizards this season, Baker is unlikely to secure a substantial role in any team's rotation.

Baker has been waived by Washington, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
After being let go by the Knicks on Dec. 13, Baker found a new home with the Wizards on Dec 19. However with the Wizards, Baker was a non-factor as he only averaged 11.3 minutes across four appearances while failing to score. After clearing waivers, Baker will become a free agent.

Baker was waived by the Knicks on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Due to the emergence of young talent such as Allonzo Trier and Damyean Dotson, Baker found himself on the outside of the rotation looking in for most of the season. Now, with Trier's two-way deal being converted into a full-time NBA contract, Baker was waived in order to create an open roster spot for the rookie.

Baker (illness) was active for Sunday's matchup with Memphis but did not play.
EDGE Analysis
Baker was a DNP-Coach's Decision in a 103-98 victory over the Grizzlies. He'd been battling an illness, although it appears he was available off the bench if needed. Baker hasn't taken the court since Nov. 14 against Oklahoma City and is unlikely to see much if any playing time in the near future.

Baker is dealing with an illness and may not be with the Knicks for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Ian Begley of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Baker should be considered questionable for the contest. His absence wouldn't affect the Knicks' rotation, however, as he's seen just spot minutes all season.

Baker exited Monday's game against Milwaukee after taking an inadvertent elbow to the face, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Baker suffered the injury after playing just one minute and he wouldn't come back into the game after heading to the locker room. The extent of the cut isn't clear at this moment, but given the nature of the issue, he figures to be available for Wednesday's contest in Miami.
