Baker (ankle) will not play Friday against the Wizards, Steve Popper of The Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, a sprained left ankle will keep Baker sidelined again, and he'll be joined in street clothes by Kristaps Porzingis (rest), Frank Ntilikina (knee), Mindaugas Kuzminskas (calf) and Luke Kornet (hamstring). Baker's next chance to play will come Sunday against Brooklyn.

Baker (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Friday's preseason game against the Wizards, Ian Begley of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Baker is still dealing with an ankle injury he suffered last week, and there has been no report of him returning to practice yet, so he'll be out for the second straight preseason game. With Frank Ntilikina (knee) also doubtful to play Friday, Ramon Sessions and Jarrett Jack will likely handle point guard duties for the Knicks against Washington.

Baker (ankle) will be held out of Tuesday's preseason opener against the Nets, Ian Begley of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Baker continues to work his way back from an ankle injury that he suffered last week and he's yet to resume practicing, so he'll get the night off Tuesday for additional rest and recovery. The Knicks will have another few days off before Friday's exhibition tilt with the Wizards, though Baker will likely need to put in a full practice in order to get the green light to play. While coach Jeff Hornacek didn't announce a starting lineup, Frank Ntilikina (groin) has been cleared to play, and he'll likely battle with Rmaon Sessions and Jarrett Jack for time at point guard.

Baker (ankle) remained sidelined for Sunday's practice, Ian Begley of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Baker has been battling an ankle injury since last week and continues to be held out of practice. While he's fully expected to return by the start of the regular season, there's a decent chance Baker is unavailable for Tuesday's preseason opener against the Nets. If Baker is ultimately held out of Tuesday's contest, that could open up a few more minutes for guys like Frank Ntilikina and Jarrett Jack.

Baker (ankle) was held out of Friday's practice, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Baker continues to nurse a sore left ankle, and Friday will mark his third consecutive absence. It's possible that Baker could miss a preseason game or two, but the ailment shouldn't affect his status for the regular season.

Baker was held out of practice Wednesday due to a sore left ankle, Steve Popper of The Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
The issue doesn't look to be anything serious, and the Knicks are likely just exercising caution with the young guard as camp gets underway. Expect to see Baker, who will compete for minutes at point guard, back on the practice floor within the next few days.

Baker will remain with the Knicks for the 2017-18 season.
EDGE Analysis
The undrafted rookie put together a surprising season with the Knicks that totaled 52 games. While there's a chance he could surpass the 16.5 minutes he averaged per game last season, the organization will likely err on the side of new rookie Frank Ntilikina, who was just taken with the eighth overall pick in the NBA Draft.

Baker totaled 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt), eight rebounds, eight assists, and one steal in 38 minutes during Sunday's 110-97 loss to the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Baker amassed career highs in boards and dimes, and he continues to be a sneaky low-cost option in daily leagues. Baker has scored in double figures in only five of 51 games this season, but three of those have come in the last seven tilts. It's unlikely that Baker matches this statistical effort in Wednesday's season finale versus the 76ers, but he's still worth considering in fantasy.

Baker finished with four points (2-5 FG), three rebounds, three assists, and two steals in 29 minutes during Sunday's 110-94 loss to the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Baker earned the start at point guard once again with Derrick Rose (knee) being ruled out for the remainder of the season. Baker is not known for contributing big numbers, but he could be worth a look as a cheap option in daily leagues unless fellow backup Chasson Randle ends up stealing more minutes.

Baker will start at point guard for Wednesday's game against the Heat, Heat radio play-by-play announcer Mike Inglis reports.
EDGE Analysis
Usual starter Derrick Rose in sitting out with soreness in his left knee, which allows Baker to enter the starting five once again. In five previous starts this season, Baker has averaged just 3.6 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists across 19.0 minutes, so despite the promotion, it likely won't come with a huge jump in production.
