Brandon Ingram Fantasy Stats

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (ankles) will not suit up against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to bilateral ankle sprains on Wednesday. Ingram is likely sitting out for precautionary reasons, as the Pelicans are in the second half of back-to-back sets. Trey Murphy III (hamstring) will also have the evening off to rest. With plenty of minutes on the table, players like Brandon Boston, Javonte Green, and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl would likely see their roles to expand against the Cavs.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram will not play in the team's first preseason game on Monday against the Orlando Magic. Head coach Willie Green confirmed that this decision is not injury related, it was actually a "collective decision" that he wouldn't play. At this point, it seems like it's more of a game to get a feel for some of the others on the team. There could be an underlying story here, but there haven't been any reports or rumors to suggest that right now. On unofficial depth charts, Ingram is still listed as a starting forward, but he's been the center of trade rumors for a couple of seasons now. His status will be something to monitor going into their second game on Friday.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram looks set to remain with the team for the 2024-25 NBA campaign. The former All-Star will be entering the final year of his contract, and money-wise, Ingram isn't close to coming to an agreement with the Pelicans, but a move elsewhere also seems unlikely. According to NBA insider Shams Charania, there is a limited trade market for Ingram. Speaking during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Charania added that the "sense" around New Orleans is that Ingram is going to be there and remain part of the Pelicans team. Ingram, who will turn 27 early next month, has spent five seasons with the Pelicans, posting 23.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.2 assists.

According to NBA insider Christian Clark, the Utah Jazz are a team to watch in a potential trade involving New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram. His name has been mentioned in trade rumors for months. However, he remains in New Orleans without a contract extension. Without question, Ingram is a quality player, averaging 19.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.3 assists in 477 games combined with the Lakers and Pelicans. While it's possible nothing comes from this latest update, it remains likely Ingram won't be a Pelican during the 2024-25 campaign. With that said, Ingram could thrive in Utah from a statistical standpoint. His presence in Utah could also mean that Lauri Markkanen will remain with the Jazz.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram has been one of the bigger dominoes in the early goings of this offseason. At first, there were reports that the Pelicans were unlikely to offer him a max contract. Now, it seems the team is trying to get a deal done, but they are prepared to search the trade market if they don't get a deal done that is friendly for both sides. The Philadelphia 76ers are one of the teams interested in a trade as they search for a third star to pair with Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. Other teams mentioned are the Cleveland Cavaliers and Atlanta Hawks, but they would have more hoops to jump through in terms of contract numbers. According to Jake Fischer, one team that could emerge as a trade suitor is the Sacramento Kings who are looking to upgrade from Kevin Huerter and Harrison Barnes.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram is reportedly eager to remain on the team. "Brandon wants to stay here," said Pelicans president David Griffin during his post-draft availability. "He believes in what we're building. That's meaningful to us. It's meaningful to him. I think it's meaningful to his agent. At the same time, there's a financial reality that we all deal with." We could still see Ingram in a new uniform next season because the Pelicans aren't willing to offer him a max extension. He is eligible for a four-year, $208 million deal. Ingram's health issues -- he has played 60-plus games just three times since his rookie year -- and playoff struggles make him a risky investment for New Orleans.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram will be left without a max extension this offseason. "Considering their current and future financial situation, the Pelicans are unlikely to offer him that maximum deal this offseason," William Guillory of The Athletic wrote on Monday. Ingram is eligible to sign a four-year, $208 million contract in the summer. The team understandably isn't very keen to make such a big investment in Ingram after seeing him struggle in the playoffs. New Orleans was swept in the first round by Oklahoma City, with Ingram settling for 14.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 3.3 assists with 34.5 shooting from the field.

According to NBA insider Evan Sidery, the Philadelphia 76ers could make a push to acquire Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram this offseason. There are reports the Sixers are interested in Paul George. But if George decides to remain in Los Angeles, Philadelphia views Ingram as a "plan B option." The 26-year-old is coming off a down season, averaging 20.8 points, 5.7 assists, and 5.1 boards. He also shot 35.5% from behind the arc. With that said, Ingram is always one of the best players on the floor. Yet, he can't stay healthy, so his fantasy stock is nearly at an all-time low.

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Brandon Ingram isn't expected to be extended by the team this offseason. The 2020 All-Star is eligible to sign a four-year, $208 million deal. However, it looks like the Pelicans are ready to move on from Ingram, who has one year left to go on his current contract. Ingram, who will be making around $36 million in 2024-25, has enjoyed a solid career in New Orleans, averaging 23.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.2 assists across five seasons. But the 26-year-old has battled various injuries, with 64 regular-season appearances in 2023-24 being the most he has managed across a single campaign, and he was a major letdown for the team in the 2024 playoffs.

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Brandon Ingram finished Wednesday's Game 2 loss against Oklahoma City with a full line after initially struggling in the contest. Ingram had only four points in the first half before finding his rhythm in the second and finishing with 18 points on 5-for-10 shooting. He nailed all eight free throws and tallied four rebounds with three assists, one steal, and one block. Ingram hasn't looked quite himself since returning from a knee injury in the regular-season finale. The talented scorer has yet to make a three-pointer in the series against OKC and averages a measly 15.0 points on 37 percent shooting.
