New York Knicks guard Ron Baker has been through a round patch over the last month when it comes to injuries. He started 2018 wearing a face mask after catching the wrath of an Antony Davis dunk to end 2017 and now it appears his season is over.
Last night, Baker was contesting a DeMarre Carroll jump shot when he just stopped playing and grabbed at his shoulder.

The second year guard out of Wichita State has played spot minutes with the team this season after signing a new deal over the summer that would keep him in New York for at least two more seasons. Baker isn’t known for his scoring or filling up the box score but his intangibles are what helped him crack the rotation this season for the Knicks.
