The day after being released by the NBA’s Washington Wizards, former Wichita State All-American Ron Baker was back at Koch Arena on Tuesday for an hour-long workout.
The last month has been a whirlwind for Baker, who was cut by the New York Knicks on Dec. 13, signed less than a week later on Dec. 19 by the Wizards, then waived again on Monday.
What’s next for Baker is unclear in the immediate sense, but the 25-year-old is dead-set on one thing: returning to the NBA, where he has spent the last three seasons.
“One thing I’ve always tried to do in my career is be that tough, hard-nosed, grit kind of player, especially on the defensive end,” Baker told The Eagle.
