Stage 1, complete. The Knicks shooting guard, who had surgery on Feb. 7 to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder, told the Daily News he is on pace to return to basketball activities the first week of June but seemed skeptical about playing in Summer League. “Just depends on what staff thinks is best for me,” Baker told The News. “I’ll see when I get healthy in June. Because not touching a ball for four months and just jumping right into things obviously would be shaky. So obviously summer is going to be a big deal for me.” The 24-year-old has nine weeks left of rehab — or Stage 2 — but can’t work strengthening yet because his range of motion is not restored. .444 14.0 4% 1% *to Cavs; **to Sixers
