Baker suspended indefinitely

 
01.23.2004

Boston, MA (Basketball News) - The Boston Celtics announced on Friday that Vin Baker has been suspended indefinitely for failing to comply with his aftercare treatment program.

The Celtics were notified for a second time this season that Baker, who has suffered from alcoholism, was non- compliant with his doctor, who had been jointly selected by Baker and the team to oversee his aftercare.

Baker was suspended for three games earlier in the season for failing to go to his treatments.

He left the team last season to address personal issues, which included the alcohol-related problems.

Baker is averaging 11.3 points and 5.7 rebounds in 37 games this season. He has started 33 of the contests and is shooting 49-percent from the field.
