Brandon Ingram Expected To Miss At Least One More Month
Toronto Raptors forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) will not make his debut for the team anytime soon. Sportsnet's Michael Grange has reported that Ingram isn't projected to be back for at least a month. The former All-Star has suited up for only 18 games in 2024-25 due to a high-grade left low ankle sprain suffered on Dec. 7, making this essentially a lost season for Ingram, even when he eventually comes back. After acquiring him from the New Orleans Pelicans, the Raptors inked a three-year, $120 million contract extension with Ingram, a significant show of confidence for a player with a lengthy injury history. It remains to be seen if the investment pays off and how well Ingram meshes with current team leaders Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett.
Brandon Ingram Agrees To Three-Year, $120 Million Extension With Raptors
According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Toronto Raptors and forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) agreed to a three-year, $120 million extension on Tuesday. Ingram was recently traded from the Pelicans to the Raptors in exchange for Bruce Brown, Kelly Olynyk and multiple draft picks, including a first-rounder. The 27-year-old hasn't played since Dec. 7 after suffering an ankle injury, and there isn't a timetable set on when he will make his debut as a Raptor.
The Toronto Raptors have acquired forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) in a trade with the New Orleans Pelicans. In return, the Pelicans received guard/forward Bruce Brown, forward/center Kelly Olynyk, one first-round pick, and one second-round selection. Ingram is a pending unrestricted free agent and hasn't seen the court since Dec. 7 due to an ankle injury. He played six seasons in New Orleans, becoming an All-Star in 2020. However, health issues have often held Ingram back, and it remains to be seen how big of an impact he can make on a Raptors team that already includes plenty of scoring talent.
New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This comes as little of a surprise considering Ingram hasn't played in a game since early December. Ingram is working his way back from a left ankle sprain that is likely going to keep him sidelined for at least a few more games. He reportedly hasn't been cleared for contact drills yet, so it doesn't appear that Ingram is on the verge of a return. He remains without a timetable to return and should be considered week-to-week right now. Trey Murphy III has been playing big minutes in the rotation and that should continue until Ingram is back in the mix.
New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) is set to spend at least a couple of more weeks on the sidelines. The team announced that Ingram will be re-evaluated in two weeks. The former All-Star has already missed a lot of action, featuring just twice since Nov. 22. With Zion Williamson (hamstring) also on the shelf, Trey Murphy III (ankle), Brandon Boston Jr., and Jordan Hawkins have additional fantasy value.
New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) is expected to miss significant time after suffering an injury during Saturday's game. The Pelicans announced on Sunday that Ingram has suffered a left ankle sprain and will be out indefinitely. This is another significant blow to a Pelicans roster that is already is already without Zion Williamson (hamstring) for the foreseeable future. The loss of Ingram should mean increased value for Herbert Jones, Trey Murphy III, and possibly Brandon Boston Jr. as well. Both Jones and Murphy are already playing big minutes, so the loss of Ingram will probably impact Boston the most. Boston has scored double-digits in four straight games and should have streaming appeal with the Pelicans banged up right now.
New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (calf) is available for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Ingram will return to action after missing the team's last five contests due to right calf soreness. The 27-year-old is a key offensive weapon for the Pelicans, averaging 22.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 5.4 assists in 33.6 minutes per game this season. His return provides a much-needed boost to a New Orleans squad looking to gain some momentum, and fantasy managers will be glad to have him back in their lineups.
New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (calf) is considered questionable for Thursday's meeting with Phoenix. However, it appears likely that he will return from a five-game absence, as Ingram went through full practice on Wednesday. The team also hopes to get Herb Jones (shoulder) back against the Suns. The return of the two would be a nice boost for an injury-depleted team. Ingram is having a fine campaign and tends to do especially well in home outings, averaging 26.8 points at the Smoothie King Center compared to 17.9 points on the road.
New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (calf) is not ready to return to the lineup on Monday against Atlanta. The initial signs were encouraging regarding Ingram's potential return, but it has been confirmed that he will be absent for a fifth straight game. Ingram's absence will secure another start for Javonte Green. The veteran forward has not been a good option for fantasy managers, averaging 7.4 points and 3.5 rebounds in a starting role. With Ingram on the shelf, the offense will continue to run throw CJ McCollum and Dejounte Murray.
New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (calf) appeared on the injury report again as questionable while he still suffers from tendonitis in his calf. He's been forced to miss the last four consecutive games with the same issue. If he's downgraded to out again on Monday, Trey Murphy III and Javonte Green should see a big boost in minutes. Murphy would be the stronger option as a normal starter. Green has only averaged 7.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game across 10 starts.
