Brandon Ingram Stats

The Pelicans are reportedly unwilling to offer Brandon Ingram to Brooklyn in a deal for Kevin Durant, according to league sources. While New Orleans recently emerged as a potential destination for Durant, the team is eager to see how the pairing of Ingram and Zion Williamson plays out this season. The 24-year-old is also much younger and has a more agreeable salary. Nevertheless, Ingram has played well throughout his time with the Pelicans (three seasons), averaging 23.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 4.8 assists. His shooting percentage from deep could use a little work. He also hasn't suited up for more than 62 games in any of the previous five seasons. With that said, Ingram's inability to remain healthy is an issue, so history suggests fantasy managers may be without him during some of the 2022-23 campaign.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram could be included in a "compelling package" to acquire Kevin Durant from Brooklyn, according to Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily Times. Although the Nets are remaining firm on its asking price for the multi-time All-Star, adding Ingram to the equation could be more than enough to make a deal happen. Unquestionably, the 24-year-old has played the best basketball of his career over his last three seasons in New Orleans. During that span, he's averaged 23.4 points, 5.6 boards, and 4.8 assists while shooting an acceptable 37.3% from deep. While Ingram is a capable fantasy producer, his inconsistency on the defensive end has been a minor hindrance for category managers. His inability to remain healthy also continues to be a problem.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram has been mentioned as the potential headliner of a trade package that could be sent to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for star forward Kevin Durant. However, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reports that the Pelicans have given no indication that they are willing to trade Ingram. Scotto reports that the Nets are looking for accomplished younger players like Ingram to receive in a return for Durant. Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes was also mentioned by Scotto as someone who the Nets would highly covet, but as is the case with the Pelicans and Ingram, the Raptors don't appear to have any interest in moving Barnes.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (finger) underwent successful surgery on Friday. He originally suffered a right finger injury in late April. Ingram mentioned he was fine, but has decided to undergo surgery. The recovery time is considered six-to-eight weeks, so he should be ready around August. Fantasy managers shouldn't be concerned about Ingram missing any time in the beginning of next season. He's expected to carry around sixth or seventh round fantasy value.
