UGA basketball forward Tyrone Baker enters transfer portal

Georgia Bulldog basketball forward Tyrone Baker has entered the NCAA transfer portal. Baker played only 10 minutes across three games during his freshman season in Athens.

The freshman forward suffered a broken hand during practice on Jan. 18,  and did not return for the remainder of the season.

Georgia basketball is undergoing a significant amount of roster change for a second consecutive offseason. The Bulldogs and first-year head coach Mike White are looking to improve upon a 6-26 season in 2021-2022 that featured only one SEC win.

Tryone Baker is a freshman from Fort Myers, Florida. He played high school basketball at Hightower High School in Texas. Baker scored two points and had two rebounds for the Dawgs in 2021-2022. The 6-foot-11 forward is a former three-star recruit.

Additionally, Dalen Ridgnal, Christian Wright, and Cam McDowell are in the NCAA transfer portal. Mike White and Georgia basketball have a few spots to fill and will likely utilize the transfer portal to strengthen the roster.
