Ron Baker wasn’t only posterized when he tried to prevent an Anthony Davis dunk Saturday night in New Orleans. Baker sustained a left orbital fracture after taking an elbow to the face from Davis.
Baker ended up returning to that game. But he needs to wear a protective mask now. Baker was fitted for one Tuesday, but the Knicks don’t have it yet. So he was unavailable Tuesday.
The Knicks start a three-game road trip Wednesday in Washington. They hope to have it then or sometime during this trip. The Knicks officially are listing him day-to-day.
“Ron’s a tough kid and he’ll continue to play,” Jeff Hornacek said.
