Baker is working through rehab following a torn ACL and torn lateral meniscus, Jackson Payne of Deseret News Sports reports.
Analysis:
Baker suffered a severe knee injury just six games into this past campaign, and he ended up missing the rest of the season. The 6-foot-4 guard, pending NCAA eligibility approval as of Wednesday, is now vying to make a return to the court in the 2026-27 stretch. He averaged 7.5 points and 1.7 rebounds as a sixth man for the Cougars in his six showings last year, which makes him a candidate for meaningful minutes pending his condition.
