Starting Wednesday Baker-Mazara (undisclosed) is starting for Auburn against Ole Miss, Justin Ferguson of AuburnObserver.com reports.
Impact Baker-Mazara was listed as a game-time call, but then spotted warming up. Thus, it's not all that surprising that he'll be available against the Rebels, and he'll also hold onto his usual spot in the starting five.

Spotted warming up Baker-Mazara (undisclosed) is warming up ahead of Auburn's clash with Ole Miss, Justin Hokanson of On3.com reports.
Impact Baker-Mazara was listed as a game-time call, but has been spotted warming up ahead of a tilt with the Rebels. That doesn't indicate for certain that he'll play, but it's certainly a positive sign for the star wing who averages 12.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.2 steals.

Officially a game-time call Baker-Mazara (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Auburn against Mississippi on Wednesday.
Impact Baker-Mazara was listed as questionable on Tuesday night, and the game-day update didn't bring any clarity to the forward's status. He'll be a true game-time call against the Rebels and may very well miss his first game in the 2024-2025 campaign. If he can't go, expect Chris Moore to get the start in his stead.

Probable to play Saturday Baker-Mazara (undisclosed) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against Alabama.
Impact Baker-Mazara came off the bench for Tuesday's 80-68 win over Vanderbilt, and he finished that contest with zero points, four assists, two rebounds and two steals over 28 minutes. It's unclear what injury Baker-Mazara is working through, but it doesn't appear severe enough for him to be in serious jeopardy of missing Saturday's contest.
FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE
Scoreless in first game off bench Baker-Mazara recorded zero points (0-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and two steals over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 80-68 win over Vanderbilt.
Impact It's unclear why coach Bruce Pearl decided to bring his second-leading scorer off the bench Tuesday, but Baker-Mazara didn't respond well, as he was held scoreless for the first time all season. Chris Moore got the start in his place, but logged just four points across 13 minutes. Auburn's alignment prior to Saturday's key contest at Alabama will be worth monitoring.

Another solid outing Baker-Mazara fouled out of Tuesday's 98-70 victory over Oklahoma after recording 15 points (5-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 20 minutes.
Impact Auburn cruised past Oklahoma on Tuesday night, and Baker-Mazara was a significant part of that. Though he was cold from downtown (1-of-5 from deep), he was efficient at the line and inside the arc to bring his total to 15 points. Mazara is in the midst of a very solid senior season, and he's been very reliable in his primary role as a scorer with 48/39/90 shooting splits.

Heads to locker room Saturday Baker-Mazara has exited Saturday's game against Tennessee and is headed to the locker room assisted by trainers, according to Wes Rucker of 247Sports.com.
Impact The extent of the injury is unclear, but the fact that Baker-Mazara had to leave the court accompanied by trainers isn't good. He was also seen holding the back of his head and walking with a wobble, so there's a chance he might have suffered a concussion or a serious blow to the head. It's unclear if he'll be able to return to the contest.
JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE
Steady force for Tigers Baker-Mazara racked up 16 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 87-82 win over Texas.
Impact Baker-Mazara has improved upon last year's scoring average by a full three points through 15 games in 2024-25, but it hasn't all been volume-based, as the senior wing is shooting a career-best 52.8 percent from the field and 93.7 percent from the charity stripe. While the numbers are rarely eye-popping, the consistency has been impressive -- he's scored between seven and 19 points in every game this year.
