Free agent guard Ron Baker will miss four-to-six months after undergoing surgery to repair a torn right labrum, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski (Twitter link). The surgery was performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles.
Baker started the 2018/19 season with the Knicks, but the 25-year-old was waived after playing in just 11 games. He then signed with the Wizards for four contests and was released after two weeks.
Baker was also ruled out for the remainder of last season after suffering a torn labrum and dislocated shoulder, with that injury coming at the end of January. Baker’s estimated timeline could see him healthy by the start of free agency, which would allow him to sign with a team during the offseason or entering training camp in the fall.
Baker, who wasn’t selected in the 2016 NBA Draft, holds career-averages of 3.1 points, 1.8 assists, 0.7 steals and 14.5 minutes per game.

Might be the end of his NBA career. First ballet HOF for sure though.
For baseball, not for basketball…
Thought he could’ve been something. He’ll probably play in the g-league or overseas when he returns
More like a beer league.
sounds like his career is over
who pays for his surgery , recovery, and salary? as he’s unemployed when this happened?
The Knicks, for some reason, paid the dude like 12 mil so I think he can manage.
