Baker (face) will not play Tuesday against the Spurs, but he could return as early as Wednesday in Washington, ESPN's Ian Begley reports.

EDGE Analysis

Baker suffered a fractured orbital bone while being dunked on by Anthony Davis on Saturday, and he'll sit out Tuesday with bruising and swelling in the area. Coach Jeff Hornacek confirmed that Baker will be fitted for a protective mask, and he could be back in action Wednesday if the mask is ready in time.

Baker will not play in Tuesday's game against the Spurs due to a left orbital fracture he suffered during Saturday's game against the Pelicans, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Baker, who attempted to contest a dunk, was elbowed in the eye by Anthony Davis. He'll be fitted for a face mask and should be considered day-to-day following Tuesday's contest. In his stead, a handful of Knicks' guards -- including Damyean Dotson and Ramon Sessions -- could see a slight uptick in workload. Normal rotation players such as Jarrett Jack, Frank Ntilikina and Courtney Lee could also see a few extra minutes thrown their direction as well.

Baker will be inactive for Wednesday's contest against the Grizzlies, Ian Begley of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Baker was, and still remains, a darkhorse candidate to see a slight bump in minutes with Tim Hardaway (leg) out for about two weeks. That said, it appears the Knicks coaching staff has other plans for the time being.

Baker will be active and available to play in Wednesday's matchup with the Heat, Ian Begley of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Baker has recently spent time in the G-League, but with Frank Ntilikina sitting out with an ankle injury, he'll be promoted to the big club and will serve as depth behind the likes of Jarrett Jack and Ramon Sessions at point guard. Baker will still struggle to provide much production, however, so continue to avoid him for fantasy purposes.

The Knicks assigned Baker to the G League's Westchester Knicks on Monday, Ian Begley of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Like Westchester, New York also has a game Monday night, so Baker's assignment to the G League illustrates getting the young guard meaningful minutes is more important than having him on board as guard depth for the NBA squad. Baker has made just four appearances with the Knicks this season, averaging 2.8 points, 2.8 assists and 1.0 steal in 12.3 minutes per contest.

Baker (shoulder), with Enes Kanter (back) out, is active for Friday's game against the Hawks, Marc Berman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite not being 100 percent healthy while recovering from a shoulder sprain, Baker will be active and available to play Friday. That said, it's not exactly clear if he will play or not, as the team has no shortage of other guard options.

Knicks head coach Jeff Hornacek said Monday that Baker (shoulder) still isn't 100 percent healthy, Marc Berman of the New York Post reports. "Ron's almost there with the shoulder," Hornacek said. "He practiced [Sunday]. I asked him how it was with contact, he said he tried to avoid real hard picks. He's getting close to full contact."

EDGE Analysis

In addition to the shoulder issue, Baker has been nursing a minor ankle sprain this season, which has limited the second-year player to just three appearances with the Knicks in 2017-18 after he turned in a surprisingly productive rookie campaign. Though it seems Baker is almost out of the woods with his injury, it doesn't look likely that he'll regain a spot in the rotation once healthy with rookie Frank Ntilikina (illness) proving to be an ideal complement at point guard to veterans Jarrett Jack and Ramon Sessions.

Baker (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with the Jazz, Ian Begley of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Baker is dealing with a left shoulder sprain, which he suffered while playing in the G-League. It will mark his second straight absence, but Baker hasn't been a part of regular rotation when healthy anyway, so it doesn't mean much for fantasy purposes.

Baker (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Baker sprained his left shoulder Sunday while playing for the Knicks' G League affiliate in Westchester, which will likely conspire to keep him unavailable for the NBA team for the second straight contest. Since Baker hasn't been a regular in head coach Jeff Hornacek's rotation at any point during November, the second-year guard's expected absence will likely go unnoticed in the fantasy realm.

Baker is dealing with a shoulder injury and will be inactive for Monday's game against the Cavaliers, Al Iannazzone of Newsday Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Baker reportedly suffered the injury during Sunday's G-League game, though he wasn't seeing any action with the Knicks prior to the injury anyway, so it shouldn't have an impact on the team's regular rotation. Baker's next opportunity to play will be Wednesday against the Jazz, but even if cleared, he won't be a viable fantasy option.
