Brandon Ingram Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Knicks vs Raptors game today with our National Basketball Association injury report.Dec 7, 2025
Drops 30 points in defeat
Ingram racked up 30 points (11-20 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds and three assists over 35 minutes during Sunday's 121-113 loss to Boston.
ANALYSIS
After shooting just 25 percent from three-point range in his previous six appearances, Ingram found his rhythm from beyond the arc en route to a game-high-tying 30 points. The veteran swingman bounced back after scoring just seven points in Friday's blowout loss to the Hornets, though turnovers continue to be an issue. Ingram committed four turnovers Sunday and has recorded at least three in each of his last 12 outings. On a more positive note, he reached the 30-point threshold for just the second time this season, and he has scored at least 20 in three of his last four games.
Dec 5, 2025
Records season high in assists
Ingram registered 20 points (10-23 FG, 0-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, seven assists and one block in 36 minutes during Thursday's 123-120 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has topped 20 points in five of the past six games on massive shot volume. The 28-year-old forward is averaging 23.3 points on 21.7 field goal attempts during those six games but has struggled from downtown, shooting at just a 29.4 percent clip. While the efficiency hasn't been there, Ingram remains the Raptors' top scoring option and a reliable playmaker on the wing.
Dec 2, 2025
Tallies 21 points in Tuesday's win
Ingram logged 21 points (7-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 35 minutes during the Raptors' 121-118 win over the Trail Blazers on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Ingram briefly left in the third quarter of Tuesday's game after rolling his right ankle, but he was cleared to return for the fourth frame to help the Raptors snap a two-game losing skid. The veteran forward has registered at least 20 points in seven of his last nine games, and over that span he has averaged 23.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.9 threes over 35.2 minutes per game.
Dec 2, 2025
Returns Tuesday
Ingram (ankle) returned to Tuesday's game against Portland with 9:08 remaining in the fourth quarter, per the broadcast.
ANALYSIS
Ingram appeared to roll his right ankle in the third quarter and eventually made his way to the locker room. However, he returned to the bench shortly thereafter and now appears good to go for the remainder of the game after checking back in.
Dec 2, 2025
Exits to locker room
Ingram (ankle) exited to the locker room in the third quarter of Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram appeared ro roll his right ankle earlier in the third and eventually checked out with 3:47 remaining in the quarter. He can be considered questionable to return. If he's unable to check back in, Gradey Dick and Collin Murray-Boyles are candidates for increased minutes the rest of the way.
Dec 1, 2025
Drops 14 in loss
Ingram chipped in 14 points (4-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-7 FT), one rebound and four assists over 32 minutes during Sunday's 116-94 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Ingram hasn't dropped under 15 points since Nov. 23, and his shooting performance Sunday was rather inefficient. In the month of November, Ingram averaged 21.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.7 blocks and 1.3 threes on a disappointing 28.2 percent clip. While his numbers are certainly there production wise, Ingram will look to improve his efficiency from beyond the arc, starting with Tuesday's game against the Blazers.
Nov 26, 2025
Drains game-winning shot
Ingram posted 26 points (11-23 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds, two steals and one block over 38 minutes during the Raptors' 97-95 win over the Pacers on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Ingram scored 18 of his game-high 26 points during the second half of Wednesday's game, capped off with a 15-foot pullup shot over Pascal Siakam to give Toronto the lead with 0.6 seconds left to play in the fourth quarter. Ingram had attempted 20 field goals or more twice through the first 17 games of the regular season, but has eclipsed that mark in each of the Raptors' last two contests while taking on a larger role on offense in the absence of RJ Barrett (knee). Ingram has scored at least 22 points in five of his last six outings, and over that span he has averaged 25.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.5 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.2 threes over 35.0 minutes per game.
Nov 24, 2025
Season-high 37 points Monday
Ingram posted 37 points (15-30 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-5 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal over 36 minutes during the Raptors' 110-99 win over the Cavaliers on Monday.
ANALYSIS
The Raptors have deployed a balanced scoring attack for most of the season, but Ingram stepped into a greater role Monday due to the absence of RJ Barrett (knee). Ingram entered Monday's game averaging 20.7 points per game -- his lowest mark since the 2018-19 campaign with the Lakers (18.3 points per game) -- but he came out firing with a season-high 37 points (15 of which came in the third quarter) and tied a season best with five triples. Ingram will continue to serve in a larger role on offense for as long as Barrett is sidelined.
Nov 21, 2025
Lives at charity stripe Friday
Ingram recorded 24 points (6-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 12-13 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, two steals and one block over 30 minutes during the Raptors' 140-110 win over the Wizards on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Ingram didn't have a great shooting display from deep, but he more than made up for it at the charity stripe, where he attempted a season-high 13 free throws. He co-led the Raptors in scoring with RJ Barrett, and the former led both teams with a plus-25 point differential. Ingram is averaging 20.9 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.7 blocks over 33.3 minutes per game through the first 15 games of the 2025-26 regular season.
Nov 19, 2025
Efficient in Wednesday's win
Ingram recorded 22 points (7-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT) and five assists over 31 minutes during the Raptors' 121-112 win over the 76ers on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Ingram's 10 field-goal attempts Wednesday were a season low, but he still managed to crack the 20-point threshold for the 10th time this season thanks to his efficiency from the floor and the charity stripe. Since Nov. 2, Ingram has averaged 20.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.0 blocks over 33.6 minutes per game.
Nov 17, 2025
Comes up big in clutch
Ingram totaled 27 points (9-21 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals over 37 minutes during the Raptors' 110-108 win over the Hornets on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Ingram paced the Raptors with a game-high 27 points Monday while connecting on three triples, his most threes in a game since Oct. 29 against the Rockets (five). Ingram made big-time plays in the final moments of the game, beginning with an assist to RJ Barrett to give the Raptors the lead before blocking Ryan Kalkbrenner with 9.0 seconds left to play. Ingram's three swats are a season high, and he has logged at least two steals five times. He is averaging 20.9 points on 48.6 percent shooting, 6.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks over 33.4 minutes per game to open the 2025-26 regular season.
Nov 11, 2025
Game-high 25 points Tuesday
Ingram posted 25 points (8-17 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 8-9 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block over 33 minutes during the Raptors' 119-109 win over the Nets on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Ingram scored 18 of his game-high 25 points across the second and third quarters, and while he struggled from deep, he was able to get work done at the charity stripe with a team-high nine free-throw attempts. Ingram has scored at least 20 points in eight of the first 11 games of the regular season, and he is averaging 21.4 points on 50.6 percent shooting, 6.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 0.8 steals over 33.2 minutes per game to open the 2025-26 campaign.
Nov 5, 2025
Cools off in win
Ingram supplied 13 points (6-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 128-100 victory over the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was unable to follow Sunday's 26-point performance, but still grabbed eight boards, blocked two shots and shot 50 percent from the field in a win. He is averaging 21.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.6 blocks across 32.5 minutes this season so expect his production Friday against the Hawks to look more like that and less like Tuesday's statline.
Nov 2, 2025
Strong start with new team
Ingram registered 26 points (10-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one block over 33 minutes during Sunday's 117-104 victory over Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Ingram fell one point short of the team-high mark, but he came away with his fifth 20-point performance in five games this year. The star forward has settled in nicely with his new team thus far, and fantasy managers have to be pleased with his efficiency in particular. Ingram is shooting 55.0 percent from the field, also averaging 22.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.0 steals in 32.9 minutes per contest.
Oct 31, 2025
Logs 20 points vs. Cleveland
Ingram totaled 20 points (7-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and two steals over 35 minutes during the Raptors' 112-101 win over the Cavaliers on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Ingram led the Raptors with seven free-throw attempts and was one of three Toronto players to score 20 points in Friday's win. The 10th-year pro has scored at least 20 points in four of the first six games of the regular season and will end the month of October averaging 21.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.2 steals over 32.8 minutes per game while connecting on 53.2 percent of his field-goal attempts.
Oct 29, 2025
Nets 29 points on 16 shots
Ingram popped off for 29 points (11-16 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and four turnovers in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 139-121 loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was 0-3 from distance his last time out, but he snapped the three-pointless streak just two minutes into this game. He was hot from the jump, drilling his first seven shot attempts, and he also brought some defensive stats to the stat sheet after falling to do so his last time out. He'll look to keep it going Friday in Cleveland.
Oct 24, 2025
Drops 29 points on 20 shots
Ingram dropped in 29 points (10-20 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and four turnovers in 37 minutes during Friday's 122-116 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was held to just 16 points on Opening Night, but he matched that total by halftime in this one, and he finished with a team-high 20 shot attempts. Unfortunately, he also committed four turnovers while he was out there, and through the first two games, he has totaled nine giveaways. Still, Friday's game was an encouraging development after a subpar outing in the opener, and he should be able to keep the positive momentum going Sunday with a favorable matchup against the Mavericks.
Oct 22, 2025
Just misses double-double in opener
Ingram had 16 points (7-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and two steals over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 138-118 victory over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
It was Ingram's Raptors debut, after he was acquired from New Orleans last season but didn't play a game for Toronto while recovering from an ankle injury. The 28-year-old forward is healthy to begin 2025-26, and while he took a back seat scoring-wise to RJ Barrett and Scottie Barnes on Wednesday, Ingram should be one of the team's primary offensive threats this season.
Oct 16, 2025
Posts massive double-double
Ingram produced 20 points (8-22 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one block in 32 minutes of Wednesday's 110-108 preseason loss to Boston.
ANALYSIS
After two games off for rest purposes, Ingram saw a full workload Wednesday, proving that he's ready to be a full go on Opening Night. Ingram has led the Raptors in the preseason with a 29 percent usage rate, and it's clear that he's going to be the No. 1 option on offense.
Oct 15, 2025
Set to play Wednesday
Ingram (rest) will start in Wednesday's preseason game against the Celtics, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram sat out the Raptors' past two preseason games for rest but will return Wednesday as the team rolls out its regular starting lineup. Through two preseason outings, the wing has averaged 20.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists.
Oct 12, 2025
Getting another game off
Ingram (rest) will not play in Sunday's preseason game against the Wizards, according to Raptors reporter Vivek Jacob.
ANALYSIS
Ingram will receive his second straight maintenance day after missing Friday's exhibition as well. In two preseason appearances, Ingram has averaged 20.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 3.0 three-pointers.
Oct 10, 2025
Won't play vs. Boston
Ingram (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Celtics, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram and all of the team's starters will rest Friday. The coaching staff is trying to get a longer look at some of the squad's younger players and players on the roster bubble.
Oct 9, 2025
Strong preseason continues
Ingram supplied 21 points (7-16 FG, 2-2 FT, 5-7 3Pt), six rebounds and three assists across 23 minutes in Wednesday's 130-122 preseason win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Ingram is the perfect example of a player who could blow up after a change of scenery, and he's delivered excellent numbers so far in the preseason. Although some questioned the trade considering the depth at the position, fantasy drafters might want to consider moving him up the ladder based on the early results, as it seems there is plenty of room for Ingram to flourish alongside RJ Barrett and Scottie Barnes.
Oct 7, 2025
Flashing old self in preseason
Ingram totaled 19 points (6-12 FG, 6-7 FT, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over 22 minutes during Monday's 12-108 preseason loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Sporting his trademark headband, Ingram showed no ill effects from the ankle injury that cost him most of his 2024-25 season. Although the team debut was a losing effort, Ingram gave the squad an added spark, and he blended seamlessly alongside Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett. Ingram is brimming with offensive potential if he stays healthy, and early signs indicate an encouraging synergy with his new teammates.
Sep 26, 2025
Ready for training camp
Raptors general manager Bobby Webster said Friday that Ingram (ankle) will be ready for training camp, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was limited to just 18 games last season due to a sprained left ankle that he suffered in December. He was cleared for contact way back in July, and it sounds like he's been a full go for a while now. For now, there's no word of any restrictions heading into the preseason.
Jul 10, 2025
Cleared for contact
Ingram (ankle) was cleared for contact Thursday, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was limited to just 18 games last season due to a sprained left ankle that he suffered in December, but he appears to be making significant strides in his rehab this offseason. Head coach Darko Rajakovic also noted Thursday that the star forward is "pain-free", which is a very encouraging sign. Ingram has a chance to be a full participant in training camp this fall, and he has plenty of time to be fully recovered from the issue ahead of the 2025-26 campaign as well.
Apr 9, 2025
Ruled out for season
The Raptors officially shut down Ingram for the rest of the season Wednesday after he got a PRP injection in his left ankle, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was traded to the Raptors in February before the NBA trade deadline. However, he's been dealing with an ankle injury, which cost him all but 18 games this season. He never got a chance to suit up for Toronto during the 2024-25 campaign. The team expects him to be ready for their summer program.
Apr 4, 2025
Hopeful to return to practice
Coach Darko Rajakovic said Friday that he hopes Ingram (ankle) will be cleared for contact and go through a full practice next week, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram hasn't played since Dec. 7 due to a left ankle sprain but hasn't been officially shut down for the year. However, with the Raptors sitting in 11th place in the Eastern Conference and only having four more games remaining after Friday, it seems increasingly unlikely that Ingram will suit up again in 2024-25.
Mar 23, 2025
Set for checkup in 10 days
The Raptors announced Sunday that Ingram (ankle) is progressing and will be re-evaluated in approximately 10 days, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram hasn't played since Dec. 7 due to a significant left ankle sprain, and with the Raptors out of the playoff mix, it's unclear if the veteran will debut for his new team this season. Toronto inked Ingram to a two-year, $78 million contract extension less than a week after acquiring him, so even if he doesn't suit up over the next three weeks, he figures to play a key role for Toronto next season.
Mar 6, 2025
Re-evaluated in two weeks
The Raptors announced Thursday that Ingram (ankle) is progressing as expected, but he's still limited to individual work, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Lewenberg adds that Ingram remains without a timetable to return, and that another update on his status will come in two weeks. At this point, it would be a bit of a surprise if Ingram returned during the month of March, especially with where the Raptors sit in the NBA standings.
Mar 4, 2025
Timeline for return still uncertain
Head coach Darko Rajakovic said Feb. 25 that Ingram is still rehabbing his sprained left ankle and remains without a clear timeline to make his Raptors debut, Adam Laskaris of BlogTO.com reports. "We're breaking down his recovery and this plan into two-week chunks, and every two weeks, we're going to give an update how he's doing, how he's progressing," Rajakovic said of Ingram.
ANALYSIS
Ingram sustained the severe ankle sprain Dec. 7, in what marked his final appearance with the Pelicans before he was traded to the Raptors on Feb. 6. Though Toronto inked Ingram to a two-year, $78 million contract extension less than a week after acquiring him, it's not clear if the 27-year-old wing is in line to make his team debut at any point this season. With a 19-42 record, the Raptors sit five games behind the Bulls for the final spot in the Eastern Conference Play-In Tournament, so the organization is presumably inclined to proceed cautiously with Ingram until he's 100 percent recovered from the ankle sprain. Fantasy managers in redraft leagues with minimal injured reserve slots who are still holding Ingram may be better served using that roster spot on a healthy option while he remains without a definitive target date to resume playing.
Feb 13, 2025
Unlikely to play in February
Ingram (ankle) remains without a clear target date for making his Raptors debut, but the veteran forward isn't projected to play for at least a month,
ANALYSIS
Before the Pelicans traded Ingram to the Raptors last week, reports on his progress had been few and far between since he suffered a high-grade left low ankle sprain in a Dec. 7 loss to the Thunder. The Raptors haven't provided concrete updates on Ingram's status in the week since they acquired him, but the team's decision to sign him to a three-year, $120 million contract extension would seem to suggest that the organization's isn't too concerned about his long-term outlook. With the Raptors sitting at 17-38 heading into the All-Star break, the team won't rush Ingram back in action until they're fully confident in his health. A firmer target date for his return should emerge once he's cleared to participate in practices, but for now, fantasy managers should expect his absence to extend into March.
Feb 12, 2025
Remains out
Ingram (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram hasn't suited up since Dec. 7 and will remain out through the All-Star break. It's unclear when he'll be cleared to make his Raptors debut, but Toronto has already inked the veteran forward to a three-year extension, locking in the core of Ingram, Immanuel Quickley, RJ Barrett, Scottie Barnes and Jakob Poeltl through the 2026-27 campaign.
Feb 11, 2025
Agrees to 3-year, $120 million deal
Ingram (ankle) and the Raptors agreed to a three-year, $120 million extension, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
ANALYSIS
This is a huge vote of confidence from Toronto and this move will prevent Ingram from hitting free agency during the offseason. The third year of the deal includes a player option, and it appears that the Raptors will structure their rebuild around Ingram and Scottie Barnes. Ingram is currently sidelined by an ankle sprain and doesn't have a clear timetable for a return.
Feb 10, 2025
Won't play Tuesday
Ingram (ankle) will not play Tuesday against the 76ers, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram, who hasn't played since Dec. 7 with a sprained left ankle, remains without an official target date for a return. His next chance to play comes Wednesday against Cleveland, but it's more likely that he returns after the All-Star break at this point.
Feb 8, 2025
Another absence coming
Ingram (ankle) is out for Sunday's game versus the Rockets, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram hasn't played since Dec. 7 due to a sprained left ankle. While there is no specific timetable for Ingram's return, his next chance to take the floor is Tuesday's matchup with Philadelphia.
Feb 7, 2025
Won't play Friday
Ingram (ankle) is out for Friday's game versus the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was traded from New Orleans to Toronto on Wednesday but will remain sidelined due to his sprained left ankle. While the 27-year-old forward should slot into the starting lineup once available, his next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Houston.
Feb 5, 2025
Traded to Toronto
The Pelicans traded Ingram (ankle) to the Raptors on Wednesday for Bruce Brown, Kelly Olynyk, a first-round pick and a second-round pick, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram hasn't appeared in a game since Dec. 7 due to a sprained left ankle. While it's unclear when he'll be able to retake the floor, he'll get a fresh start with the Raptors. Once healthy, expect Ingram to slot into the starting lineup between RJ Barrett and Scottie Barnes. Before the injury, Ingram was averaging 22.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists across 33.1 minutes per game.
Feb 4, 2025
Remaining sidelined
Ingram (ankle) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Ingram will miss his 27th straight contest Wednesday while dealing with a sprained left ankle. Considering the star forward has yet to be cleared for contact and remains without a concrete timetable for a return to game action, Ingram can be viewed as week-to-week.
Feb 2, 2025
Won't return Monday vs. Nuggets
Ingram (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Denver.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has been out of action since Dec. 7 due to a left ankle sprain, and there isn't a clear timeline for his return. His next chance to play will be in Wednesday's rematch against the Nuggets.
Jan 23, 2025
Remains without return timetable
Ingram (ankle) is out for Friday's game versus the Grizzlies and has not been cleared for contact drills yet, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram hasn't played since Dec. 7 due to a sprained left ankle. Until Ingram is able to fully practice or New Orleans offers a more concrete timetable for the star forward's return, he can be considered week-to-week.
Jan 19, 2025
Sidelined yet again
Ingram (ankle) will not play Monday against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Ingram will miss his 19th game in a row and continues to be ruled out a day in advance of games. There's no report of a target date for his return just yet.
Jan 16, 2025
Ruled out Friday
Ingram (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Ingram remains on the mend as he tries to work his way back from an ankle injury. The 27-year-old veteran has missed 18 straight games but could soon return. In the meantime, the Pelicans will have to play without arguably their best scorer.
Jan 15, 2025
Remains out Wednesday
Ingram (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Ingram hasn't played since Dec. 7 due to a left ankle sprain. His next chance to suit up will come Friday against Utah, but barring a return to practice or a positive update from the team, the veteran forward can be considered doubtful for that contest.
Jan 13, 2025
Not playing Tuesday vs. Chicago
Ingram (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Bulls, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram hasn't played since Dec. 7 due to a left ankle sprain, and his absence will extend to 17 games Tuesday. His next chance to play will be Wednesday against the Mavericks, but the progress he's made in his injury recovery has yet to be re-evaluated.
Jan 11, 2025
Another absence coming
Ingram (ankle) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Ingram's absence streak will extend to 16 games Sunday due to a left ankle sprain. While the 27-year-old forward is overdue for an evaluation from the Pelicans, it seems unlikely he will return to action for Tuesday's matchup with Chicago.
Jan 9, 2025
Remains out Friday
Ingram (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Ingram will miss his 15th straight game with a left ankle sprain, and there's no telling when he might return as he has yet to be re-evaluated. Herb Jones is also out for this game against Philadelphia, so New Orleans may have to rely on Brandon Boston to shoulder the load.
Dec 24, 2024
Re-evaluated in two weeks
Ingram (ankle) will be re-evaluated in two weeks, Vincent Goodwill of Yahoo Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
According to the Pelicans, Ingram remains in the early stages of his rehab, and there's no reported timetable just yet. With the Pelicans sitting at 5-25 on the season and with Ingram rumored to be on the trade block, don't expect the franchise to rush him back.
Dec 8, 2024
Out indefinitely
Ingram (ankle) has been ruled out indefinitely, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram left Saturday's loss to the Thunder in the third quarter, was quickly ruled out for the remainder of the game and will now miss extended time due to a significant left ankle sprain. This is just the latest blow to the Pelicans, who've dealt with numerous injuries all season and are still without Zion Williamson (hamstring) and Jose Alvarado (hamstring) for at least a few more weeks. In Ingram's absence, Trey Murphy and Herbert Jones, who both have also missed multiple weeks this season due to injuries, are candidates for increased roles, along with Jordan Hawkins (back) and Brandon Boston.
Dec 7, 2024
Won't return Saturday
Ingram (ankle) won't return to Saturday's game against the Thunder. He finished with five points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), a rebound, three assists and two steals in 19 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Ingram left the contest in the early stages of the third quarter, and the Pelicans weren't willing to take any risks with him and quickly ruled him out. The extent of the injury hasn't been revealed and he'll need further tests to determine whether he'll miss time or not. Thus, his status for Sunday's contest against the Spurs is up in the air, though his chances of playing should be minimal at best.
Dec 7, 2024
Taken to locker room Saturday
Ingram was helped to the locker room due to an apparent ankle injury, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram had to be helped off after landing on Luguentz Dort's foot on the first play of the second half. The Pelicans are already missing some key pieces due to injury, but losing Ingram for even one game would be a fatal blow for an already injury-riddled team. Ingram had five points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), a rebound, three assists and two steals in 19 minutes before exiting the contest.
Dec 6, 2024
Game-high 29 points in return
Ingram ended Thursday's 126-124 win over the Suns with 29 points (10-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 37 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Ingram missed the Pelicans' five games prior to Thursday's contest due to a right calf strain. Head coach Willie Green said that Ingram would have a minutes restriction, but the ninth-year forward ended up playing 37 minutes, indicating that his right calf isn't causing him any issues. Ingram and the Pelicans will wrap up their two-game home stand Saturday against the Thunder.
Dec 5, 2024
Will have minutes restriction
Ingram will have a minutes restriction in Thursday's game against the Suns, head coach Willie Green told Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site. "They'll [Jones and Ingram] be probably right at 30, maybe a little under or over that."
ANALYSIS
Ingram was deemed available for this matchup and will step on the hardwood for the first time since Nov. 22 due to right calf tightness. The 30-minute plateau should be enough to believe Ingram could have a sizable role on offense straight away. The star forward is averaging 22.9 points, 5.8 rebounds and 5.4 assists across 33.6 minutes per game this season.
Dec 5, 2024
Good to go against Phoenix
Ingram (calf) is available for Thursday's game versus the Suns, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has been upgraded from questionable to available Thursday after missing New Orlean's previous five contests due to right calf soreness. Ingram should reclaim his starting spot from Javonte Green.
Dec 4, 2024
Questionable to play Thursday
Ingram (calf) is questionable to play Thursday against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Ingram went through a full practice Wednesday, and the questionable tag suggests he has a good chance to play Thursday. Ingram has missed the Pelicans' last five games while dealing with right calf soreness.
Dec 4, 2024
Goes through practice
Ingram (calf) went through a full practice Wednesday, Erin Summers of the Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Willie Green is hopeful to get Ingram back in the lineup Thursday against the Suns after the forward missed his fifth straight game Monday. Ingram has been in the headlines for another reason too, as he recently changed agents as he prepares for unrestricted free agency during the offseason. He'll be the subject of many trade rumors going forward.
Dec 2, 2024
Sidelined Monday
Ingram (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Ingram will be sidelined for a fifth straight game due to a right calf injury, and he'll have two days rest before the Pelicans' next game against the Suns on Thursday. Trey Murphy, Javonte Green and Trey Murphy will continue to see increased playing time due to Ingram's absence.
Dec 2, 2024
Carrying questionable tag
Ingram (calf) is questionable for Monday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Ingram last played on Nov. 22 and has missed the past four games, but the questionable tag suggests that he remains day-to-day. If Ingram is unable to suit up, his next chance to play comes Thursday against the Suns.
Nov 30, 2024
Won't play Sunday
Ingram (calf) is out for Sunday's game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Ingram is dealing with right plantaris tendonitis in his right calf, and this will be the forward's fourth straight absence. Brandon Boston should continue to enjoy extra minutes with Ingram sidelined. The forward's next chance to play will come against the Hawks on Monday in the second leg of a back-to-back set.
Nov 29, 2024
Absence streak continues Friday
Ingram (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's matchup versus the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Ingram's absence streak will extend to three outings due to right calf soreness. With the star forward sidelined, Brandon Boston and Javonte Green will likely see an uptick in playing time. Ingram's next chance to feature will come in Sunday's game against the Knicks.
Nov 28, 2024
Iffy for Friday
Ingram (calf) is questionable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Ingram is in danger of missing his third straight game due to right calf soreness. He's one of four Pelicans listed as questionable, so it's currently unclear what their rotation will look like. If Ingram is cleared to play, he'll likely face limitations.
Nov 27, 2024
Will not play vs. Raptors
Ingram (calf) is sidelined for Wednesday's contest against the Raptors, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Right calf soreness will force Ingram to miss a second straight game. Though it seems like the Pelicans can't catch a break on the injury front, both Dejounte Murray and CJ McCollum are back for Wednesday's action. Ingram's next chance to suit up is Friday against the Grizzlies on the road.
Nov 26, 2024
Questionable for Wednesday
Ingram (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Despite not playing Monday in Indiana and missing Tuesday's practice, Ingram still has a chance to play Wednesday. The veteran forward appeared in 15 straight games to start the season but has missed two of the past three matchups, so he may face some limitations if given the green light Wednesday.
Nov 26, 2024
Sits out practice
Ingram (calf) did not practice Tuesday, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram missed Monday's game against the Pacers with a right calf issue and is now in danger of missing Wednesday's game against the Raptors. The Pelicans will be releasing their injury report Tuesday evening, at which point Ingram's fantasy managers will have a better read on the situation. Javonte Green and Brandon Boston could pick up some of the slack if Ingram is held out Wednesday.
Nov 25, 2024
Won't play vs. Indiana
Ingram (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pacers, Tony East of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram missed his first game of the 2024-25 regular season against the Cavaliers this past Wednesday due to bilateral ankle sprains, but he will miss Monday's game due to a right calf issue. Javonte Green and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl should see additional minutes due to Ingram's injury, and CJ McCollum (adductor) will see more usage on offense.
Nov 25, 2024
Questionable for Monday
Ingram is questionable for Monday's game against the Pacers due to right calf soreness, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
This is a new issue for Ingram after previously battling sprains to both ankles. If Ingram is unable to give it a go, players such as Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Javonte Green could see a bump in minutes, while C.J. McCollum (adductor) could see a ton of usage Monday.
Nov 22, 2024
Good to go Friday
Ingram is available for Friday's game versus the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday after missing New Orleans' previous outing due to bilateral ankle sprains. The 27-year-old forward is averaging 23.6 points, 6.0 assists and 5.7 rebounds in 34.0 minutes across his last 10 appearances.
Nov 21, 2024
Iffy for Friday vs. GS
Ingram is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Warriors due to bilateral ankle sprains.
ANALYSIS
Ingram missed Wednesday's loss to Cleveland due to the sprained ankles, though he could return as the Pelicans play Golden State in an NBA Cup game Friday. If the 27-year-old is unable to return to game action Friday, Brandon Boston and Elfrid Payton will likely continue to see an uptick in playing time, especially if Jordan Hawkins (back) and CJ McCollum (adductor) are ruled out.
Nov 20, 2024
Listed out for Wednesday
Ingram will not play Wednesday against the Cavaliers due to bilateral ankle sprains.
ANALYSIS
Wednesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so the Pelicans will hold Ingram out as a precaution. With the team off to a 4-11 start, this could potentially become a trend on back-to-back sets. Trey Murphy is also out for rest purposes, so we could see a lot of Javonte Green, Jeremiah Earl-Robinson and Brandon Boston on Wednesday.
Nov 16, 2024
Scores team-high 32 points
Ingram posted 32 points (11-23 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 7-9 FT), four rebounds, eight assists, three steals and a block across 38 minutes in Saturday's 104-99 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was the driving force for this depleted Pelicans roster, and he posted another impressive stat line despite the loss. Despite the team's struggles, Ingram has been very valuable in fantasy due to his high usage role and undisputed status as the Pelicans' go-to option on offense. He's scored at least 20 points in all but two of his appearances this month while also posting solid numbers in other categories such as rebounds, steals and assists.
Nov 16, 2024
Carries Pelicans to victory Friday
Ingram racked up 29 points (12-26 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and one block over 37 minutes during Friday's 101-94 victory over Denver.
ANALYSIS
The Pelicans need Ingram to step his game up amid their injury woes, and the star forward did exactly that Friday against a Denver team that was missing Nikola Jokic (personal). Ingram remains the go-to player on offense for the Pelicans, and he's backing that up with strong numbers -- he's averaging 23.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists and a combined 1.4 steals-plus-blocks in eight November outings.
Nov 14, 2024
Decent output in another loss
Ingram had 18 points (7-18 FG, 4-8 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 106-88 loss to Oklahoma City.
ANALYSIS
The Pelicans have been slumping badly this season, though no one could blame them given all the injury woes they've had in recent weeks. Ingram is the only projected starter who has been available regularly for New Orleans, but he can't do everything on his own. He's putting up decent numbers, averaging 22.6 points, 5.9 assists, 5.6 rebounds and a combined 1.5 steals-plus-blocks in seven games this month.
Nov 12, 2024
Records nine assists
Ingram accumulated 24 points (10-24 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Monday's 107-105 loss to Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
With the Pelicans missing so many key players, Ingram will have more playmaking responsibilities going forward. He made the most of them Monday, recording a season-high mark of nine assists. He's off to a strong start in November, averaging 23.3 points, 5.8 assists, 5.5 rebounds and 2.2 three-pointers in his last six games.
Nov 9, 2024
Poor shooting display Friday
Ingram racked up 11 points (4-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and five assists over 26 minutes during Friday's 115-88 loss to Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Jose Alvarado and Brandon Boston carried a depleted Pelicans team in this loss, but Ingram's overall outing was disappointing. It's not a secret that the veteran forward should be putting up better numbers and operating as a go-to player on offense, especially considering all the absences the Pels are dealing with at the moment. That said, this was the first "subpar" outing from Ingram since the beginning of November. In five games this month, Ingram is averaging 23.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game while shooting 46 percent from the field. Ingram will aim to bounce back in Monday's matchup against the Nets.
Nov 7, 2024
Hits for 20 in Wednesday's loss
Ingram produced 20 points (9-20 FG, 2-8 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 39 minutes during Wednesday's 131-122 loss to Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old forward has scored at least 20 points in four straight games and seven of nine to begin the season, helping to cover for the Pelicans' injury-depleted backcourt. Ingram is producing at the upper end of his usual range, averaging 24.1 points, 6.1 boards, 4.6 assists, 2.4 threes and 1.6 combined steals and blocks while shooting 49.4 percent from the floor, which would be his best mark since 2018-19.
Nov 5, 2024
Strong effort not enough Monday
Ingram ended with 27 points (11-24 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Monday's 118-100 loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Ingram delivered an impressive performance Monday, but as has been the case of late, his standout efforts aren't enough to lift a depleted Pelicans team that's missing the majority of their would-be starting lineup due to injuries. Ingram has scored over 25 points in his last three games, and while the Pelicans will continue to rack up losses as long as they remain depleted, Ingram would benefit from an uptick in the usage rate.
Nov 4, 2024
Goes for 32 points in loss Sunday
Ingram accumulated 32 points (12-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 29 minutes during Sunday's 126-111 loss to Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
The Pelicans were extremely depleted for this matchup and Ingram was the team's go-to player on offense, so it wasn't surprising to see him reach the 30-point threshold once again -- something he's achieved in three of his seven contests to date. Ingram should continue to have a dominant role on offense for a Pelicans team that will be without CJ McCollum (thigh) and Dejounte Murray (hand) for at least a few more weeks. In fact, his upside could be even higher as long as Zion Williamson (hamstring) continues to deal with a hamstring problem.
Oct 30, 2024
Pours in 30 points in loss
Ingram provided 30 points (12-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 124-106 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Ingram and Zion Williamson carried the team during Tuesday's loss, and they were the only players to finish with double-digit scoring. He's started off the season with a bang, averaging 24.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists over the first four games.
Oct 26, 2024
Plays hero in Friday's win
Ingram ended Friday's 105-103 victory over the Trail Blazers with 21 points (8-20 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals across 35 minutes.
ANALYSIS
His last bucket, with just 4.9 seconds left on the clock, proved to be the game-winner. It's only been two games, but Ingram has had a healthy and impressive start to the season as he looks ahead to unrestricted free agency next summer. Whether that adds fuel to the trade rumors that keep swirling around him or quells them will likely depend on how the rest of the Pelicans roster performs.
Oct 24, 2024
Pours in 33 to tip off season
Ingram provided 33 points (13-23 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 123-111 victory over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old forward has a strong start to what could be his final season in New Orleans. Ingram is set to be a free agent next offseason, and his primary focus in 2024-25 could be on staying healthy -- he hasn't played more than 64 games in a season since he was a teenage rookie with the Lakers in 2016-17. Ingram's usage could also see a spike early in the current campaign after Dejounte Murray suffered a fractured left hand Wednesday, an injury that figures to keep him out for at least four weeks. Ingram has averaged better than 20.0 points, 5.0 boards and 5.0 assists in each of the last three seasons, but things seem to be lining up for him to potentially put together career-best numbers in 2024-25.
Oct 16, 2024
Scores 18 points in preseason loss
Ingram posted 18 points (7-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 21 minutes in Tuesday's 118-98 preseason loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
This was Ingram's lone appearance of the preseason, and even though one game is not enough to draw conclusions, the former All-Star is expected to play a prominent two-way role for the Pelicans while being one of the primary offensive weapons alongside Zion Williamson. Ingram averaged 20.8 points, 5.7 assists, 5.1 rebounds and a combined 1.4 steals-plus-blocks across 64 regular-season appearances in 2023-24, making it the third straight year in which he averaged at least 20 points, five boards and five assists per game.
Oct 15, 2024
Good to go Tuesday
Despite initial reports, Ingram will play in the Pelicans' final preseason game against Houston on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Willie Green made the announcement in Tuesday's pregame press conference that Ingram will play, while Zion Williamson will not. Ingram will join Dejounte Murray, CJ McCollum, Herb Jones and Daniel Theis in the starting lineup.
Oct 9, 2024
Won't play until preseason finale
Ingram (undisclosed) will not play until New Orleans' preseason finale Tuesday versus Houston, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram practiced Wednesday and "is fine" in the words of coach Willie Green. His exclusion from the majority of preseason contests appears to merely be veteran treatment for the 27-year-old.
Oct 7, 2024
Will not play Monday
Ingram (undisclosed) will not play in Monday's preseason game against Orlando, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Willie Green said Ingram's absence is not because of an injury. Green recently said that Ingram has been dominating in training camp, but it's unclear if he will be available for Friday's preseason rematch against Orlando. As for the rest of the starters, Green anticipates they will see around 20 minutes.
Apr 25, 2024
Fills stat sheet in Game 2 loss
Ingram produced 18 points (5-10 FG, 8-8 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 124-92 loss to the Thunder in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
ANALYSIS
Ingram wasn't as dominant as he looked in the Play-In victory over the Kings, but he posted a better stat line than the one of the series opener while also embracing a higher usage rate with Zion Williamson (hamstring) sidelined. Ingram has surpassed the 15-point mark in just two of his five appearances since returning to action on the last day of the regular season, and the Pels need him to be at his best for Game 3 of the series against Oklahoma City on Saturday.
Apr 20, 2024
Scores 24 in Play-In defeat
Ingram amassed 24 points (10-20 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one block over 37 minutes during Friday's 105-98 Play-In Game win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was playing in only his third game since missing the final stretch of the regular season, and while he wasn't at his best, he stepped up when called upon duty in a game where New Orleans didn't have Zion Williamson (hamstring). Ingram finishes the 2023-24 season with averages of 20.7 points, 5.7 assists and 5.1 rebounds per game across 66 appearances between the regular season and the Play-In Tournament, making it the third straight campaign in which he averages at least 20 points, five assists and five rebounds per game.
Apr 16, 2024
Limited in loss Tuesday
Ingram chipped in 11 points (4-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and four assists over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 110-106 Play-In Game loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was noticeably absent during the fourth quarter, an indication that he is still bothered by a knee injury that cost him the final three weeks of the regular season. New Orleans will now have to win Friday's game against the winner of the Sacramento and Golden State matchup, should they hope to advance to the postseason. While it is likely Ingram will get the starting nod, there is a chance he remains limited based on what we saw Tuesday.
Apr 14, 2024
Scores 13 points in return Sunday
Ingram closed with 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and five rebounds over 23 minutes during Sunday's 124-108 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Ingram didn't look particularly rusty, as he made six of nine shots from the field in Sunday's loss, but with the way the game unfolded, and considering this was Ingram's first appearance since March 21, the Pelicans opted to handle his minutes in a more conservative way. If he doesn't suffer any setbacks between Monday and early Tuesday, then Ingram should be ready to handle a prominent workload, perhaps as the Pelicans' second option on offense behind Zion Williamson, in the Play-In matchup against the Lakers on Tuesday.
Apr 14, 2024
Available for season finale
Ingram (knee) is available to play in Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Lakers, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has been sidelined with a bruised left knee since March 22 and missed 12 games as a result. The star forward is expected to have a slight minute restriction, but not a heavy one, according to Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune.
Apr 13, 2024
Could play in season finale
Ingram (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has yet to return to the court since suffering a nagging knee injury in late March, but he was always considered an option to play in the final game of the regular season. His presence would provide a huge boost for the Pelicans on both ends of the court, but it's unclear how much of a workload he'd be able to handle -- if he's available at all.
Apr 12, 2024
Another absence coming
Ingram (knee) won't play in Friday's game versus the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Ingram will miss his 12th straight game Friday while dealing with a left knee contusion. His last chance to suit up before the end of the regular season is Sunday's matchup with the Lakers.
Apr 10, 2024
Still sidelined
Ingram (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Although Ingram appears to be nearing a return and has been ramping up his practice participation, he won't be able to return for Thursday's contest. He'll have two more opportunities to take the hardwood before the playoffs: Friday at Golden State and Sunday against the Lakers.
Apr 6, 2024
Out at least two more games
The Pelicans announced that Ingram (knee) will miss at least two more games.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was re-evaluated Saturday morning and has been cleared to begin individual on-court workouts. He will gradually increase the intensity as he progresses, and a return-to-play date has yet to be determined. Based on this news, the earliest possible return date for Ingram is April 11 against the Kings.
Apr 2, 2024
Could return late next week
Ingram is scheduled to be re-evaluated later this week, and the Pelicans are hopeful that he'll be able to return to action at around the three-week mark of his recovery from the left knee injury he suffered March 21, Shams Charania reported Tuesday on FanDuel TV's "Run It Back" program.
ANALYSIS
Charania's report comes after Pelicans head coach Willie Green noted Monday that Ingram was able to run on a treadmill and continues to increase his activities daily as he works his way back from a left knee bone contusion, according to Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans. Ingram is expected to get his knee re-examined Thursday or Friday -- two weeks after he suffered the injury -- and if doctors are satisfied with how he's healed thus far, the 26-year-old could start to increase the intensity of his workouts. If the report of the three-week mark being the target for his return proves to be accurate, Ingram could be back in action as soon as April 11 in Sacramento, though the Pelicans would probably prefer to save him for the second leg of the back-to-back set (April 12 at Golden State). If Ingram plays one half of that back-to-back set, he would then be able to get one more game under his belt in the April 14 regular-season finale versus the Lakers before the Pelicans take part in the Western Conference
Mar 29, 2024
Gets on-court work in Friday
Ingram (knee) was able to do some on-court work during Friday's practice, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram is one week removed from being diagnosed with a bone contusion in his left knee. He was expected to miss at least two weeks but appears to be handling rehab well. Trey Murphy has moved into the starting lineup in Ingram's absence, but Naji Marshall also figures to get an uptick in playing time until the star forward can return. Despite the positive update, Ingram will remain out for Saturday's game against Boston.
Mar 22, 2024
Out at least two weeks
Ingram suffered a bone contusion in his left knee Thursday against the Magic and is expected to miss at least two weeks, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram departed Thursday's game in the third quarter, and while he appears to have avoided a severe injury, he's still likely facing a multi-week absence. Jordan Hawkins, Trey Murphy and Naji Marshall are candidates to see increased run while Ingram is sidelined, and if the Pelicans can secure a playoff spot in early April, the team may give the 26-year-old additional time to rest ahead of the postseason.
Mar 21, 2024
Won't return Thursday
Ingram (knee) won't return to Thursday's game against the Magic, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports. He finished with 14 points (7-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 21 minutes.
ANALYSIS
There aren't many details yet, other than the fact that Ingram is dealing with a left knee injury after appearing to hyperextend it. It's not a surprise to see that his night is over, considering that his teammates had to help him to the locker room. In Ingram is forced to miss additional time, the Pelicans would need guys like Trey Murphy and Naji Marshall to soak up more minutes.
Mar 21, 2024
Injures left knee Thursday
Ingram appeared to injure his left knee during Thursday's game against Orlando, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram appeared to hyperextend his left knee and was in visible pain. He was able to put a bit of weight on his leg, but he needed a lot of assistance to get back to the locker room. There should be an official update from the Pelicans soon.
Mar 14, 2024
Pops for 20 against Cavs
Ingram posted 20 points (8-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 116-95 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
The Pelicans' offense was a two-man show Wednesday, as Ingram and Zion Williamson (33 points) were the only two New Orleans players to score more than 11. Ingram had averaged just 12.0 points over the prior three contests, and he may not be completely over the ankle injury that cost him the first two games coming out of the All-Star break -- he hasn't attempted more than two three-pointers in five straight games. Despite that reduction in long-range attempts, since his return Ingram is averaging 20.8 points, 5.9 assists, 5.6 boards, 1.1 threes and 0.8 steals.
Mar 9, 2024
Posts well-rounded stat line Friday
Ingram closed Friday's 103-95 win over the 76ers with 17 points (6-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two blocks in 35 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Ingram finished third on the Pelicans in scoring and rebounds while leading the squad in assists and adding a pair of swats. He needed only 10 field-goal tries to reach 17 points, and he's been a bit passive in averaging just 8.5 shot attempts over his past two games. Prior to that span, he had put together a four-game run during which he averaged 27.5 points on 18.8 field-goal tries per contest.
Mar 1, 2024
Does it all in blowout victory
Ingram ended Friday's 129-102 win over the Pacers with 34 points (13-21 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-9 FT), eight rebounds and six assists over 30 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Ingram led all players in Friday's contest in scoring while ending two rebounds shy of a double-double to go along with a half-dozen rebounds in an all-around showcase. Ingram has surpassed the 30-point mark in 10 games this season, including in two straight outings. He has posted at least 30 points, five rebounds and five assists on four occasions.
Feb 29, 2024
Hits for 30 in Indiana
Ingram totaled a game-high 30 points (8-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 13-13 FT), six rebounds and four assists in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 123-114 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old wing led all scorers on the night despite coming into the game nursing a minor ankle injury, as Ingram reached 30 points for the first time since he poured in 41 against the Raptors on Feb. 5. Since missing a couple games last week with an illness, Ingram has averaged 25.3 points, 5.0 boards, 5.0 assists, 2.0 threes, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks over the last three contests.
Feb 28, 2024
Set to play against Indiana
Ingram (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Pacers, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday despite suffering an ankle injury against the Knicks. The star forward is averaging 19.4 points, 6.8 assists, 3.6 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks in 36.0 minutes across his last five appearances.
Feb 28, 2024
Listed questionable for Wednesday
Ingram (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Ingram left Tuesday's win over the Knicks in the first quarter and limped to the locker room, but he quickly returned to the Pelicans' bench and finished with 24 points, six rebounds, five assists and two steals in 34 minutes. CJ McCollum (ankle) and Zion Williamson (foot) are also questionable, so New Orleans could be down three starters versus Indiana.
Feb 27, 2024
Returns to game
Ingram (ankle) checked back into Tuesday's game versus the Knicks at the start of the second quarter.
ANALYSIS
Ingram had an injury scare in the first quarter that sent him limping to the locker room, but he was only in the back for a few minutes before returning.
Feb 27, 2024
Goes to locker room
Ingram left Tuesday's game against the Knicks with an apparent ankle injury and went to the locker room, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram initially stayed on the bench after tweaking his ankle to get it looked at by the trainers, only to limp to the back a few minutes later. For now, he should be considered questionable to return.
Feb 26, 2024
Fills stat sheet in loss Sunday
Ingram closed Sunday's 114-106 loss to the Bulls with 22 points (7-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), three rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals over 39 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Ingram moved to the point guard role and delivered a solid outing across the board, filling the stat sheet admirably as he often does but also handing out six or more assists for the eighth game in a row. Ingram was returning from a two-game absence due to an illness, but he didn't show any effects in his return to the hardwood, meaning he should handle his regular workload going forward.
Feb 25, 2024
Available Sunday
Ingram (illness) will play in Sunday's game against the Bulls, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram carried a questionable tag into Sunday's game due to a non-COVID illness that held him out of the last two games, but he will officially be back in action against Chicago. With Naji Marshall and Jose Alvarado inactive due to suspensions, Ingram could be in line for increased usage.
Feb 25, 2024
Officially a game-time decision
Ingram (illness) is a game-time decision for Sunday's game against Chicago, and his status will depend on how he fares during warm-ups, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram and Zion Williamson (foot) will both come down to the wire. Naji Marshall and Jose Alvarado are inactive Sunday while amid suspensions, setting Ingram up for a high-usage boom spot against Chicago's undersized cast of forwards if he's able to suit up.
Feb 25, 2024
Present at shootaround
Ingram (illness), who's officially listed as questionable, was present during the Pelicans' morning shootaround ahead of Sunday's game against the Bulls, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has missed back-to-back games following the All-Star break due to an illness and is in danger of missing a third, but his presence at shootaround bodes well for his potential return to action. If Ingram suits up, New Orleans may limit his minutes, as he hasn't played in a game since Feb. 14.
Feb 24, 2024
Questionable to play Sunday
Ingram (illness) is listed as questionable to face the Bulls on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has missed the Pelicans' two games following the All-Star break, and while his upgrade to questionable is a step in the right direction, a final decision will be made closer to the 7 p.m. ET tip-off Sunday. Ingram is averaging 21.1 points, 4.9 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game in February.
Feb 23, 2024
Remains out
Ingram (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Ingram will miss a second straight game due to an illness, and his next chance to return will come Sunday versus Chicago. In his absence Thursday, Zion Williamson, Herbert Jones and Trey Murphy all stepped up during a blowout win over Houston, while Jordan Hawkins was involved in the rotation again after not playing in the final two games before the All-Star break.
Feb 23, 2024
Questionable for Friday
Ingram (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against Miami.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was unavailable for Thursday's game against Houston, and it's not yet clear whether he'll suit up in the second half of the back-to-back set. If he sits out, Jordan Hawkins could see increased run once again.
Feb 22, 2024
Ruled out for Thursday
Ingram (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Rockets, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram didn't practice Wednesday due to his illness and will be unavailable Thursday as the Pelicans resume play. Coach Willie Green also said before Thursday's matchup that he isn't sure whether Ingram will be able to play Friday against Miami. Jordan Hawkins, Trey Murphy and Naji Marshall are candidates to see increased run in Ingram's absence.
Feb 21, 2024
Questionable for Thursday
Ingram (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Rockets, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was unable to practice Wednesday due to the illness, so there's a chance he could be headed for a game-time call Thursday night if he's also not able to participate at shootaround. If Ingram can't give it a go, Trey Murphy or Naji Marshall would get an opportunity to start and Herb Jones would get a boost. Zion Williamson, CJ McCollum and Jonas Valanciunas would also see an uptick in usage.
Feb 21, 2024
Status uncertain Thursday
Ingram missed Wednesday's practice due to illness and his status for Thursday's game versus the Rockets is up in the air, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram is in danger of missing his first game since Jan. 13 on Thursday. If the star forward is ruled out, Jordan Hawkins and Trey Murphy are candidates to receive increased playing time.
Feb 10, 2024
Puts up 22 points in loss
Ingram posted 22 points (7-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-8 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and three blocks across 35 minutes during Friday's 139-122 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Ingram posted a respectable fantasy total despite a tepid night of shooting. Ingram's numbers have regressed a bit after a huge 41-point tour-de-force against Toronto, but it shouldn't be a cause for concern. The eighth-year vet will usually provide decent secondary numbers to offset any difficulties finding the bottom of the basket, as he's averaging a solid 5. 7 assists and 5.1 rebounds this season.
Feb 6, 2024
Scorches Toronto
Ingram closed Monday's 138-100 win over Toronto with 41 points (16-21 FG, 8-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, nine assists and one block over 30 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was rising and firing over defenders all game, headlined by making five consecutive threes to end the third quarter. Scottie Barnes was the only player with enough size and quickness to defend Ingram, but Ingram routinely burnt Barnes by pulling up from three and gaining advantages in the pick-and-roll. It was a signature performance from the 26-year-old, and a reminder of his status among the top microwave scorers in the league.
Jan 30, 2024
Stuffs stat sheet in defeat
Ingram recorded 28 points (12-24 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Monday's 118-112 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Ingram delivered a well-rounded effort Monday, but his contributions were not enough to lift the Pelicans to victory on the road against the best home team in the league. Even though Ingram shares the scoring load with Zion Williamson and CJ McCollum, it's worth noting he's cleared the 25-point hurdle in three of his last six appearances.
Jan 28, 2024
Vintage scoring performance
Ingram finished with 26 points (9-18 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), six rebounds and one assist across 28 minutes during Saturday's 141-117 loss to Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Ingram delivered on his brand of scoring at volume while getting to the free-throw line and chipping in the occasional threes. Entering Saturday, Ingram had averaged just 15.2 points and 43.7 percent shooting on an uncharacteristically low 12.3 shots across his last 11 contests, but his workload is stabilizing and he appears to be in rhythm once again.
Jan 27, 2024
Nears double-double in loss
Ingram provided 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 FT), four rebounds, nine assists and two blocks over 34 minutes during Friday's 107-83 loss to Oklahoma City.
ANALYSIS
The Pelicans' offense struggled to generate much production Friday, and no player reached the 15-point mark for the team. However, Ingram was relatively efficient from the field and had success as a distributor while coming within one assist of a double-double. He's scored in double figures in each of his last five appearances and has posted a double-double and triple-double during that time.
Jan 18, 2024
Delivers triple-double
Ingram produced 28 points (8-19 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 10 rebounds, 10 assists and three steals across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 132-112 victory over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was outstanding Wednesday and played a huge role in New Orleans' 20-point win, notching his first triple-double of the campaign and reaching the 20-point plateau for the first time since late December. Ingram is averaging 15.0 points, 5.8 assists and 4.8 rebounds per game this month.
Jan 15, 2024
Will play Monday
Ingram (Achilles) is available for Monday's game against Dallas, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram took a seat for the second half of a back-to-back set Saturday, but he'll return to action Monday. It's been a struggle for Ingram of late, averaging just 13.3 points per game over his last six appearances, but he's attempting just 10.7 field goals per game during that stretch compared to 16.4 on the season.
Jan 14, 2024
Listed as probable
Ingram (Achilles) is listed as probable for Monday's game against Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Ingram is on track to return from a one-game absence due to right Achilles soreness. Ingram's usage had been oddly low in five games prior to sitting Saturday's contest, yielding 13.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists on 11.0 shots in 29.8 minutes per game, but he appears to be dealing with minor soreness given his expected availability Monday.
Jan 13, 2024
Won't suit up
Ingram (Achilles) will not play in Saturday's game versus the Mavericks, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Zion Williamson (rest), CJ McCollum (ankle) and Trey Murphy (knee) have also been ruled out for the second leg of this back-to-back set. The Pelicans will be very shorthanded, and guys like Dyson Daniels and Jordan Hawkins are likely going to see considerable bumps in usage and minutes.
Jan 13, 2024
Questionable Saturday
Ingram has drawn a questionable designation ahead of Saturday's tilt against the Mavericks due to both right Achilles soreness and an illness.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was questionable prior to Friday's game against the Nuggets with the same Achilles issue and ultimately played through it. This being the second night of a back-to-back set, the Pelicans could be more cautious. However, more clarity is unlikely to come on the situation until the star forward tests things out pregame. Trey Murphy (knee) and Jordan Hawkins would be prime candidates for increased run at shooting guard if Ingram is ultimately unable to go.
Jan 12, 2024
Gets the green light
Ingram (Achilles) will play in Friday's game against the Nuggets, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Zion Williamson (quad), Trey Murphy (ankle) and CJ McCollum (ankle) will also play for the Pelicans, so they will be at full strength for the front leg of this back-to-back set. Ingram is off to a slow start in January with averages of 14.2 points, 5.0 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers.
Jan 12, 2024
Expected to play Friday
Ingram (Achilles) is now listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has been upgraded from questionable to probable Friday despite dealing with right Achilles soreness. Zion Williamson (quadriceps), CJ McCollum (ankle) and Trey Murphy (knee) are all also expected to play against Denver.
Jan 11, 2024
Iffy against Denver
Ingram is questionable for Friday's game against the Nuggets due to right Achilles soreness.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has been held under 20 points in each of his last five appearances, averaging 14.2 points, 5.0 assists and 3.8 rebounds in 28.0 minutes per game. He hasn't missed a game since early November but is dealing with an Achilles injury ahead of Friday's matchup. If he can't suit up against the Nuggets, Trey Murphy (knee), Jordan Hawkins and Naji Marshall are candidates to see increased run.
Jan 4, 2024
Scores 19 with seven assists
Ingram provided 19 points (7-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 117-106 win over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Ingram took a backseat in scoring, considering CJ McCollum and Zion Williamson were dominant, but he still posted a fantasy stat line thanks to his contributions in other categories. The seven assists stood out, and Ingram is now averaging 5.5 assists per game for the third straight campaign. He's putting up 21.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game over his last 10 appearances.
Jan 1, 2024
Excellent all-around effort
Ingram finished Sunday's 129-109 victory over the Lakers with 26 points (10-18 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-5 FT), five rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and three steals over 38 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was impressive Sunday and made his presence felt on both ends of the court, recording multiple tallies in each of the five major categories and being a disruptive force on both ends of the court as New Orleans raced to a 20-point victory. Ingram's versatility has been on full display of late, but he hasn't sacrificed his scoring ability in the process. Over his last 10 games, he's averaging 24.0 points, 5.6 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 steals per game.
Dec 29, 2023
Fills stat sheet Thursday
Ingram closed Thursday's 112-105 victory over Utah with 26 points (9-18 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal over 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was impressive on both ends of the court of this win, and his outing becomes even more impressive when considering he had to deal with Lauri Markkanen throughout the entire contest. Ingram is establishing himself as a strong two-way forward who can deliver more than just scoring, and his length allows him to make a consistent impact on defense as well. Ingram is averaging 22.3 points, 5.5 assists, 3.7 rebounds,1.0 blocks and 0.7 steals per game over his last 10 games.
Dec 27, 2023
Fills the sheet Tuesday
Ingram closed with 24 points (9-20 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, seven assists, four blocks and three steals in 42 minutes during Tuesday's 116-115 overtime loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was everywhere in the loss, scoring a team-high 24 points to go with a season-high four blocks and three steals. He has been a top 35 player over the past two weeks, averaging 24.0 points per game, adding 4.0 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.4 three-pointers and 2.0 combined steals and blocks. Not known for his defensive upside, this could be a small sell-high window for managers. Moving him for a top 30 asset would certainly warrant serious consideration.
Dec 24, 2023
Scores 19 points in loss
Ingram recorded 19 points (6-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-9 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two blocks over 36 minutes during Saturday's 106-104 loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has failed to reach the 20-point mark in three of his last five appearances, but even in games where the star forward struggles from the field, he still does enough in other categories to remain relevant and productive in fantasy. Ingram is averaging 21.8 points, 5.6 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 0.7 steals per game through 11 December appearances.
Dec 20, 2023
Cleans up at free-throw line
Ingram tallied 34 points (11-18 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 11-12 FT), six assists, four rebounds and two steals across 37 minutes in Tuesday's 115-113 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
The 11 made free throws matched a season high for Ingram, who also had an 11-for-12 showing from the charity stripe just three games earlier. Even though Zion Williamson has been generally healthy in 2023-24 after missing a significant portion of the 2022-23 season due to injury, Ingram hasn't had to sacrifice many touches on the offensive end. His 29 percent usage rate this season is just over one percentage point behind last season's rate (30.4 percent), and he's been able to offset that small drop by converting at a career-best 50.1 percent clip from the field.
Dec 18, 2023
Fills stat sheet Sunday
Ingram posted 26 points (10-17 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 27 minutes during Sunday's 146-110 victory over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Ingram bounced back from his ugly eight-point showing against the Hornets on Friday, and he posted his 11th game with 25 or more points this season. The star forward has been a bit inconsistent with his scoring figures of late, but his role as one of New Orleans' primary weapons on offense is not under any sort of threat.
Dec 14, 2023
Sinks Wizards with season-high 40
Ingram ended Wednesday's 142-122 win over Washington with 40 points (14-23 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 11-12 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one block over 31 minutes.
ANALYSIS
With Zion Williamson (ankle) sidelined, Ingram stepped up with his best scoring performance of the season, including season highs in made field goals and made free throws. The 26-year-old wing has scored at least 20 points in four of the last five games, and he's hit for 30 or more in five of his last 13, averaging 24.3 points, 5.2 assists, 4.6 boards and 1.4 threes over that latter stretch.
Dec 8, 2023
Struggles from field Thursday
Ingram posted nine points (4-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and seven assists over 31 minutes during Thursday's 133-89 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Ingram enjoyed a strong start in the first quarter and stepped up whenever the Pelicans needed offense. However, he faded away as the game progressed and looked overmatched against a dominant Lakers defense. From an efficiency and scoring point of view, this one will go down as one of Ingram's worst games in the entire season, though perhaps more worryingly, it was a subpar outing in a game where the team needed him to step up. Ingram will aim to bounce back against the Timberwolves on Monday.
Dec 5, 2023
Posts 30 points in all-around game
Ingram supplied 30 points (10-20 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 7-9 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one steal in 40 minutes during Monday's 127-117 win over Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Ingram led all Pelicans in scoring while finishing second in rebounds and assists and ending two boards short of a double-double in a winning effort. Ingram has tallied 30 or more points in five games this season and has posted at least 30 points, five rebounds and five assists on two occasions this year.
Nov 25, 2023
Puts up 30 in victory
Ingram racked up 30 points (12-21 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds and five assists over 35 minutes during Friday's 116-106 win over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Ingram is usually dialed in when he meets his former team, and he felt right at home in his old arena as the Pelicans advanced to 3-1 in West Group B. Ingram has never posted an average field goal percentage of 50 percent or more, but he's doing exactly that through 13 games, averaging 50.6 percent from the court. His work at the charity stripe (78.2 percent) could use some improvement, but he's performing extremely well otherwise.
Nov 23, 2023
Another efficient shooting night
Ingram closed Wednesday's 117-112 win over the Kings with 23 points (9-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 30 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has scored at least 20 points in nine straight games. During that stretch, he's averaged 25.2 points, 5.1 assists and 4.8 rebounds while shooting 49.2 percent from the field. Ingram's offensive usage may take a hit when CJ McCollum (chest) is cleared to return, but Ingram has proven he can coexist with both McCollum and Zion Williamson individually over the past two years, so it's just a matter of the Pelicans' trio thriving together.
Nov 21, 2023
Goes off for 31 points Monday
Ingram had 31 points (11-18 FG, 5-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 26 minutes during Monday's 129-93 victory over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Ingram had one of his best outings of the season from an efficiency perspective, and he led the Pelicans in scoring en route to a massive 36-point win. Ingram has been on a roll of late and has reached the 20-point mark in eight consecutive contests, and this 31-point outing tied his season-high scoring mark. He is already a valuable fantasy asset due to his ability to chip in across the board in other categories, but the scoring run he's going through of late gives him an uptick in what's already a high floor.
Nov 18, 2023
Stands out as playmaker
Ingram accumulated 21 points (9-19 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Friday's 115-110 win over Denver.
ANALYSIS
Ingram scored at least 20 points for the sixth game in a row and continues to make an impact as an offensive threat for New Orleans. His most significant impact came on the playmaking department, however, as his eight assists were a season-high mark for him. He's trending in the right direction of late and is averaging 22.7 points, 5.6 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 0.4 steals per game in November.
Nov 15, 2023
Flirts with triple-double
Ingram registered 25 points (11-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 131-110 win over Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Ingram recorded season highs in rebounds and assists and scored at least 20 points for a fifth straight game. During that stretch, the versatile forward has averaged 24.4 points, 5.6 assists and 5.0 rebounds in 34.8 minutes per game. Even with Zion Williamson in the fold, Ingram remains the Pelicans' go-to playmaker on offense.
Nov 13, 2023
Scores 20 points in loss
Ingram chipped in 20 points (9-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-4 FT), five rebounds and five assists in 31 minutes during Sunday's 136-124 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Ingram continues to produce as one of New Orleans' main offensive weapons, and the numbers back him up, as he has now scored at least 20 points in four outings in a row. He's averaging 22.6 points, 4.8 assists and 4.6 rebounds per game in five November contests.
Nov 9, 2023
Top scorer in defeat
Ingram provided 24 points (11-25 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and six assists across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 122-101 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Ingram did all he could to help lift New Orleans in a road loss, leading all Pelicans players in scoring while handing out a team-high-tying assist total. Ingram has tallied at least 20 points in three of his five appearances this season, including in two straight contests. He has also handed out five or more assists in three games this year.
Nov 4, 2023
Goes for 16 points in return
Ingram contributed 16 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block in 32 minutes during Saturday's 123-105 loss to Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Ingram didn't have his best performance, though it must be said he was returning from a three-game absence due to right knee tendinitis. This was his lowest-scoring output of the season, but he should bounce back sooner rather than later. When fully healthy, he's a player capable of putting up over 20 points while contributing in other categories on a regular basis.
Nov 4, 2023
Will play Saturday
Ingram (knee) is available and will play Saturday against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Having Ingram back represents a huge boost for the Pelicans, as he had missed the last three games due to right knee tendinitis. His return will push Jordan Hawkins back to a bench role. Ingram has averaged 22.5 points, 7.0 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game in his two outings in 2023-24.
Nov 3, 2023
Deemed questionable Saturday
Ingram (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has missed the last three games due to right knee tendinitis, and it's unclear whether he'll be available Saturday. If he sits out once again, Jordan Hawkins will likely draw another start for New Orleans.
Nov 2, 2023
Ruled out Thursday
Ingram (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Ingram is dealing with right knee tendinitis and will be unavailable for a third consecutive matchup. Jordan Hawkins will likely start for the Pelicans once again Thursday.
Nov 2, 2023
Questionable Thursday
Ingram (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pistons, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram missed the last two games due to right knee soreness, and his diagnosis has now been changed to right knee tendinitis. However, he'll still be in the mix to suit up in the second half of the Pelicans' back-to-back set. If he's unable to play, Jordan Hawkins should draw another start for New Orleans.
Nov 1, 2023
Ruled out
Ingram (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Ingram will miss a second straight game due to a knee issue. He reportedly has no structural issues with the knee, so fantasy managers can be optimistic about Ingram's return timeline. However, Wednesday's matchup is the first half of a back-to-back set, so Ingram should be, at best, considered questionable for Thursday's matchup against Detroit. Jordan Hawkins should draw another start in Ingram's stead.
Oct 31, 2023
Questionable for Wednesday
Ingram (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Oklahoma City, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports
ANALYSIS
Ingram reportedly has no structural issues to his knee, which should ensure that is absence is short-term. More information on Ingram will emerge throughout the day Wednesday. Rookie Jordan Hawkins played 35 minutes in his sted on Monday.
Oct 30, 2023
Late-scratch Monday
Ingram (knee soreness) is inactive for Monday's game against Golden State, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram being unavailable to suit up botches an opportunity for New Orleans to fully capitalize on Golden State lacking Klay Thompson (knee) and Jonathan Kuminga (knee) Monday. Dyson Daniels, Jordan Hawkins and Herb Jones will namely fill the void.
Oct 28, 2023
Leading scorer in home opener
Ingram amassed 26 points (11-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Saturday's 96-87 victory over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was able to make his first three pointer of the season after missing all three of his attempts behind the arc Wednesday against the Grizzlies. Nine of his points came in the third quarter as he helped the Pelicans stave off the Knicks, who overcame their slow start in the first half to reduce their deficit to single digits. Ingram did commit five turnovers for the second straight game and he'll have to take care of the ball better when the Pelicans welcome the Warriors on Monday.
Oct 26, 2023
Productive in win
Ingram posted 19 points (7-18 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 111-104 win over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Although Ingram wasn't particularly efficient from the floor Wednesday, he still finished third on the team in scoring while also making a mark through his rebounds and assists. While he may not be as big of a focal point in the Pelicans' offense this year now that Zion Willimson is healthy, Ingram proved Wednesday that he can still be a productive fantasy option.
Oct 18, 2023
Leads Pels in scoring Tuesday
Ingram delivered 18 points (8-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and six assists across 24 minutes in Tuesday's 104-92 preseason win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Ingram is ramping up following a busy summer in which he represented Team USA in the 2023 FIBA World Cup, and all signs point to him being ready to open the season as one of the Pelicans' go-to players on both ends of the court. Ingram is aiming to top what he did last season when he averaged 24.7 points, 5.8 assists and 5.5 rebounds per game while operating as the Pelicans' go-to player on offense, though it's worth noting he only featured in 45 games.
Oct 13, 2023
Struggles from field Thursday
Ingram delivered 10 points (5-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and four steals across 22 minutes in Thursday's 120-87 preseason loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Ingram spent part of his summer playing with Team USA in the 2023 FIBA World Cup, and while he didn't have as much rest as other players, he seems ready to go for the upcoming season. The shooting struggles in this game shouldn't be a major issue for a player that's still finding his best form. To note, Ingram averaged a career-best 24.7 points per game while shooting 48.4 percent from the field during the 2022-23 season.
Oct 11, 2023
Scores 14 points in exhibtion
Ingram posted 14 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 17 minutes during Tuesday's 122-105 preseason loss to Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Ingram paced the Pelicans in scoring Tuesday, but he also committed four turnovers. The dynamic forward averaged 24.7 points and 5.8 assists per game last year -- both career highs, but his offensive usage may take a hit in 2023-24 if Zion Williamson can stay healthy.
Oct 9, 2023
Facing minutes limit Tuesday
Ingram and the rest of the Pelicans' starters will likely be held under 20 minutes during Tuesday's preseason game against Orlando, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram's minutes limit doesn't appear to be a significant issue, as coach Willie Green said Monday that all of the team's starters will likely play under 20 minutes. It seems as though the plan is simply to ramp up the key players ahead of the regular-season opener against Memphis on Oct. 25, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Ingram's playing time increase in subsequent preseason games.
Oct 4, 2023
Participating in camp
Ingram is participating in training camp after an illness sidelined him during the final game of the World Cup.
ANALYSIS
No surprises here, but it's good to see Ingram at 100 percent for the start of camp. Ingram posted a career-high usage rate last season, but it's likely to trend down a bit with Zion Williamson back in the mix.
Sep 10, 2023
Sidelined for third-place game
Ingram (illness) didn't play for Team USA during Friday's third-place game against Canada, Brian Windhorst of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram missed back-to-back games to end the tournament, but the illness shouldn't impact his availability for the Pelicans' training camp in October. Despite being relegated to a bench role for Team USA, Ingram is slated to be New Orleans' go-to playmaker in 2023-24, even if Zion Williamson (hamstring) is healthy.
Sep 8, 2023
Dealing with respiratory illness
Ingram is inactive for Friday's FIBA World Cup semifinal game against Germany due to an upper respiratory illness, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram won't be available for Team USA on Friday, but the ailment shouldn't affect his availability beyond the next few days. It's unclear if he'll be available for the next game of the tournament.
Apr 13, 2023
Does it all in heart-breaking loss
Ingram contributed 30 points (10-19 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 9-11 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and one block over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 123-118 play-in game loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
After the Pelicans blew a substantial lead, Ingram almost single-handedly carried his team to stay in contention, using his floor-stretching ability to make dynamic plays all over the court. The loss finishes up a successful season despite a rash of injuries that forced him to miss 37 games. Ingram finished with a career-best 24.7 points per game over 45 contests.
Apr 9, 2023
Passes 40 points in dominant game
Ingram finished with 42 points (16-28 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 9-9 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals across 42 minutes during Sunday's 113-108 loss to Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Ingram led the Pelicans in scoring and assists during Sunday's defeat, finishing second on the team in rebounds while coming up three dimes short of a triple-double. Ingram, who set a season-high in rebounds, has posted 40 or more points twice this season.
Apr 6, 2023
Ties season-high mark in assists
Ingram finished Wednesday's 138-131 overtime victory over the Grizzlies with 24 points (7-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 9-12 FT), six rebounds, 13 assists, one block and two steals across 46 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has scored at least 20 points in each game since returning from a two-game absence in mid-March, but there's no question he stood out in this one due to his passing ability. His 13 assists tied his season-best output in that category. During that aforementioned 12-game stretch, Ingram is averaging 28.4 points, 8.3 assists and 6.1 rebounds per contest.
Apr 2, 2023
Powers Pelicans to victory
Ingram closed Saturday's 122-114 victory over the Clippers with 36 points (13-23 FG, 10-11 FT), four rebounds and eight assists over 39 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Ingram topped 30 points for the fifth time in his past seven games, leading the Pelicans to a much-needed victory. Having won seven of their past nine games, the Pelicans are now only 0.5 games behind the Clippers in the race to avoid the play-in tournament. With Zion Williamson (hamstring) set to miss the remainder of the regular season, Ingram should continue to churn out hefty stats ROS.
Mar 31, 2023
Posts another triple-double
Ingram closed Thursday's 107-88 win over the Nuggets with 31 points (13-22 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds and 10 assists across 37 minutes.
ANALYSIS
After posting his first career triple-double a week ago, Ingram was back at it Thursday and posted another one. Over his past eight appearances, the veteran forward has averaged 29.6 points, 8.3 assists and 6.3 rebounds with 51/48/92 shooting splits and is single-handedly keeping the Pelicans in the playoff picture with Zion Williamson's (hamstring) potential return looming.
Mar 29, 2023
Paces team with 26 points
Ingram notched 26 points (9-22 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 7-7 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and one block across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 120-109 loss to Golden State.
ANALYSIS
The Pelicans ran a nine-man rotation, giving Ingram maximum time on the floor in the loss. He played a big part in pushing his team out to a huge lead, scoring 18 points in the first half. Ingram's result almost netted him a triple-double, but he couldn't offset a horrible defensive performance from his team in the second half.
Mar 28, 2023
Another stellar outing
Ingram logged 29 points (12-19 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Monday's 124-90 victory over Portland.
ANALYSIS
Fresh off winning the Western Conference Player of the Week, Ingram logged another all-around outing en route to a Pelicans' win. The former All-Star has scored at least 20 points and dished out at least four assists in seven straight games since returning from a two-game injury absence in mid-March.
Mar 26, 2023
13-assist double-double in win
Ingram closed Saturday's 131-110 victory over the Clippers with 32 points (12-22 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds and 13 assists in 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Ingram turned in a masterful performance, providing a key win for the Pelicans' final playoff push. Ingram was coming off a superb triple-double against the Hornets and kept the production rolling, converting 54.5 percent from the floor while providing a season-high 13 assists.
Mar 24, 2023
Posts triple-double in win
Ingram notched 30 points (10-23 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 9-9 FT), 11 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Thursday's 115-96 win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Ingram wasn't efficient, but he still scored a game-high 30 points thanks to a perfect night at the charity stripe. He also tied his season high with 10 assists and finished second on the team in rebounds behind Jonas Valanciunas (19) en route to his first career triple-double. Since returning from a two-game absence, Ingram has averaged 28.2 points, 7.6 assists, 5.4 rebounds and 1.2 steals-plus-blocks with 50/38/92 shooting splits.
Mar 22, 2023
Leading scorer in blowout win
Ingram closed Tuesday's 119-84 victory over the Spurs with 32 points (10-16 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 10-10 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one block in 31 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Ingram missed a pair of games in mid-March due to an ankle injury but has been on a tear since returning to the court, averaging 27.8 points, 7.0 assists and 4.0 rebounds in 36.5 minutes per game over his last four appearances. While he saw a decrease in playing time Wednesday due to the lopsided score, he was efficient from the floor to lead the Pelicans on the scoreboard. The 25-year-old hasn't appeared to be bothered by his ankle injury in recent games, and he should remain heavily involved down the stretch.
Mar 20, 2023
Stellar offensive performance
Ingram chipped in 26 points (12-24 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and nine assists in 39 minutes during Sunday's 117-107 victory over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was efficient from the field and tied CJ McCollum for a team-high 26 points. The Duke product also displayed his playmaking skills by dishing out a game-high nine assists, falling one short of his second double-double this season. Ingram hasn't missed a beat since being sidelined for back-to-back games in mid-March, posting 26.3 points, 7.0 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.4 steals-plus-blocks in 38.3 minutes over his past three appearances.
Mar 15, 2023
Goes for 22 against former team
Ingram finished Tuesday's 123-108 loss to the Lakers with 22 points (9-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals over 38 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Ingram stuffed the stat sheet Tuesday and delivered a strong performance despite the Lakers outclassing the Pelicans. The star forward has scored at least 20 points in seven of his last 10 appearances and has averaged 25.4 points per game while shooting 49.2 percent from the field during that span.
Mar 14, 2023
Good to go Tuesday
Ingram (ankle) is good to go Tuesday against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Ingram is ready to roll after two straight games on the sidelines. Presumably, Naji Marshall will head back to the bench with this news. The last time Ingram faced the Lakers on Feb. 15, he dropped 25 points in 34 minutes.
Mar 13, 2023
Questionable Tuesday
Ingram (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has missed the last two games due to his sprained right ankle, but he'll be in the mix to return to action against the Lakers. If he's sidelined once again, Naji Marshall, Jaxson Hayes and Dyson Daniels are candidates to maintain increased playing time.
Mar 12, 2023
Out Sunday
Ingram (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Portland, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
This will mark the second straight game on the sidelines for Ingram, which should result in another start for Naji Marshall and more minutes for Jaxson Hayes and Dyson Daniels. Willie Green said that BI is day-to-day with the ankle issue, so perhaps he'll be able to return for Tuesday's game against the Lakers.
Mar 11, 2023
Ruled out Saturday
Ingram (foot) will not play Saturday against the Thunder, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Willie Green said Ingram is day-to-day and could return as soon as Sunday against the Blazers. Josh Richardson, Naji Marshall and Dyson Daniels could have more opportunities Saturday.
Mar 10, 2023
Questionable against Thunder
Ingram (foot) is questionable for Saturday's game versus the Thunder, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram left Wednesday's game due to a right foot injury but was able to do some on-court work Friday. Naji Marshall, Trey Murphy and Dyson Daniels are candidates to see extended minutes in his potential absence. If Ingram is ruled out Saturday, his next chance to suit up will be Sunday's matchup with Portland.
Mar 8, 2023
Won't return Wednesday
Ingram (right foot) will not return to Wednesday's game against the Mavs.
ANALYSIS
Ingram appeared to tweak something in his right foot during the first half of Wednesday's game, and while he attempted to play through it, he did not come out for the second half and was ruled out shortly thereafter. Naji Marshall started the second half in his place, and he'll get a boost if BI needs to miss time.
Mar 7, 2023
Paces team with 24 points
Ingram produced 24 points (9-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds and seven assists across 38 minutes during Monday's 123-108 loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was both productive and efficient as a scorer Monday, tallying his team-high 24 points on just 16 shots. The lanky forward did turn the ball over six times, but he partly made up for that by dishing seven dimes -- his highest mark since Feb. 10. Ingram has started off the month well, averaging 27.0 points, 5.3 assists and 4.7 rebounds while shooting 54.1 percent from the field and 75.0 percent from the charity stripe through three contests.
Mar 2, 2023
Goes for season-high 40 points
Ingram notched 40 points (18-29 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 121-110 win over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Ingram could not be stopped Wednesday, racking up 20 points in the first half - 14 of which came in the first quarter on 6-of-12 shooting from the field, before going a ridiculous 9-of-12 over the final two quarters to finish with a team and season-high 40 points on the night. He added six rebounds and five assists for the second straight game while knocking down just one of five attempts from three. The small forward continues to shoot the ball well overall with at least 25 points in nine of his last 10 games, though he's gone just 4-of-18 from beyond the arc over his last three.
Feb 28, 2023
Cleans up from free-throw line
Ingram finished Monday's 101-93 loss to the Magic with 25 points (8-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds and five assists across 38 minutes.
ANALYSIS
For the fifth game in a row, Ingram failed to produce any defensive statistics, but he delivered the goods in the three main fantasy categories while also shooting efficiently at the free-throw line on heavy volume. Though the Pelicans have dropped five of their last six games to drop under .500 for the season, a healthy Ingram has at least produced well for fantasy managers after missing all of December and most of January with a left big toe injury. Over his nine appearances in February, Ingram finished with fewer than 25 points just once and chipped in 5.0 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.7 three-pointers per contest while shooting 49 percent from the field and 87.7 percent from the charity stripe.
Feb 14, 2023
Posts another offensive outburst
Ingram accumulated 34 points (14-24 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 32 minutes during Monday's 103-100 win over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Ingram scored the Pelicans' first 12 points of the game and knocked down two critical jumpers in the final three minutes to fend off a Thunder comeback. Since returning from a toe injury in late January, Ingram has scored 20 points or more in six of eight games, with three games of at least 30. With Zion Williamson (hamstring) expected to miss even more time after the All-Star break, Ingram should be in line for more monster offensive games. He's gotten up at least 20 shots in four games since his return.
Feb 8, 2023
Pours in 30 in Tuesday's win
Ingram closed Tuesday's 116-107 win over the Hawks with 30 points (11-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-9 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old wing has missed the back half of the Pelicans' last two back-to-backs due to a lingering toe injury that cost him two months of action between late November and late January, but when he's been on the court, Ingram has been as dangerous as ever. Over his last five games, he's averaging 25.8 points, 6.4 assists and 5.4 boards despite shooting just 20.0 percent (3-for-15) from three-point range. Once he's fully healthy and finds his range from the outside, expect Ingram to really go on a tear.
Feb 7, 2023
Good to go against Atlanta
Ingram (toe) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has been upgraded from probable to available Tuesday after missing the previous game with a toe injury. His return will likely send Naji Marshall back to the bench.
Feb 6, 2023
Likely to play Tuesday
Ingram (toe) is probable for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Ingram sat out Sunday's win over the Kings due to his toe injury but will likely return to action following a one-game absence. He's topped 30 minutes of playing time in his last three appearances, averaging 25.7 points, 6.7 assists and 6.0 rebounds in 33.7 minutes per game during that time.
Feb 5, 2023
Late scratch Sunday
Ingram (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Kings, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was left off the initial injury report, but he'll ultimately be sidelind for the second half of the Pelicans' current back-to-back set due to soreness in his toe. The star forward's absence appears to be a rest day after he dropped 35 points (15-28 FG) in 32 minutes against the Lakers on Saturday, but fantasy managers are encouraged to monitor his status closely ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Hawks. In Ingram's absence, Kira Lewis, Devonte' Graham and Jose Alvarado are all candidates for increased roles.
Feb 5, 2023
Shines against former team
Ingram supplied 35 points (15-28 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds and four assists across 32 minutes during Saturday's 131-126 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Ingram had one of his best performances of the season Saturday, and this was undoubtedly his best outing since returning from a lengthy injury layoff. The former Laker was everywhere and stepped his game offensively, operating as the team's go-to guy and leading the way for New Orleans in this comeback win. Ingram has surpassed the 25-point plateau in back-to-back games for the first time since returning from injury and slowly seems to be moving in the right direction after missing 29 games in a row between late November and late January. He's averaging 22.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and 5.8 assists across 31.2 minutes per game in five outings since returning to the hardwood.
Feb 3, 2023
Stuffs stat sheet in loss
Ingram closed Thursday's 111-106 loss to Dallas with 26 points (10-20 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and one block across 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was excellent as a scoring threat while ending just one rebound shy of a triple-double and three dimes away from posting double-digit assists for the second time in the current campaign. Ingram has played just four times since returning to action following a lengthy spell on the sidelines and has looked good, averaging 19.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 0.8 steals per game in that stretch.
Feb 1, 2023
Flirts with double-double in loss
Ingram provided 16 points (5-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 122-113 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Although Ingram aptly distributed the ball to other playmakers, his shooting stroke is still rusty. He's mustered a paltry 29.8 percent conversion rate in the first three games after his 29-game absence, which is to be expected considering his time away from the action.
Jan 30, 2023
Will be back in action Tuesday
Ingram (toe) isn't listed on the Pelicans' injury report for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets, Jim Eichenhofer of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram took a seat for the second half of the Pelicans' recent back-to-back set to manage his left toe injury, but as expected, he'll return to action Tuesday in Denver. Before sitting out Sunday, he appeared in back-to-back games following a two-month absence due to the toe issue and averaged 17.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 27.5 minutes during those contests, though he shot just 30.0 percent from the field and went 1-for-11 from deep. Ingram is clearly shaking off some rust, but he should still see 25-30 minutes against the Nuggets.
Jan 29, 2023
Ruled out Sunday
Ingram has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Bucks due to left toe injury management, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has appeared in back-to-back games following a two-month absence due to a toe injury, but he'll be sidelined for the second half of New Orleans' current back-to-back set to manage his workload. Barring a setback, it's safe to presume Ingram will return to action Tuesday in Denver. Meanwhile, CJ McCollum (thumb) has also been ruled out Sunday, so Jose Alvarado, Devonte' Graham and Kira Lewis are all candidates for increased roles against the Bucks.
Jan 29, 2023
Improved performance Saturday
Ingram had 22 points (8-22 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Saturday's 113-103 loss to the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Ingram looked a little better in the loss, ending with 22 points on 8-of-22 shooting. The efficiency remains an issue, something that could linger for a few games yet. The fact he was able to play 29 minutes should be seen as a positive, a number that will hopefully increase over the coming games. The Pelicans have now lost seven straight games, currently clinging to the fifth seed in the Western Conference, sitting just one game clear of the Jazz who are in the 10th seed.
Jan 28, 2023
Minutes expected to rise Saturday
Ingram is expected to see more minutes Saturday against the Wizards than the 26 he received during Wednesday's return against the Timberwolves, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was rusty in his return, going 4-for-18 from the field and committing four turnovers, but coach Willie Green isn't worried and will give the forward more action in his second game back. In the 11 games prior to Ingram's injury, he averaged 21.6 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.0 assists in 34.9 minutes.
Jan 26, 2023
Looks rusty in return
Ingram logged 13 points (4-18 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 111-102 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Ingram missed his team's last 29 contests while on the mend from a bruised left toe, so it wasn't a shock to see him struggle from the field. He knocked down 33.3 percent of his field-goal attempts and failed to convert on six tries from deep. However, it was a good sign to see Ingram log 26 minutes in his first game back, and he was able to contribute on the glass and by finding his teammates for buckets.
Jan 25, 2023
Starting in return
Ingram (toe) will start Wednesday's contest against the Timberwolves, but he's expected to play around 24 minutes during his first game action since Nov. 25, Jennifer Hale of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Ingram will return to the Pelicans' starting lineup Wednesday following a lengthy absence due to a left bruised toe. Given his minutes restriction, it may be difficult for fantasy managers to trust Ingram right away, but New Orleans presumably wouldn't thrust Ingram back into action unless he was ready to handle a solid role. Before suffering the injury, Ingram had averaged 21.6 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.0 assists in 34.9 minutes over his previous 11 appearances.
Jan 25, 2023
Listed probable for Wednesday
The Pelicans officially list Ingram (toe) as probable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Supporting what Shams Charania of The Athletic reported earlier Wednesday, Ingram looks poised to put an end to his two-month absence against the Timberwolves, provided he doesn't experience any setbacks with his bruised left big toe while warming up ahead of the 8 p.m. ET opening tip. Even if Ingram reclaims his usual starting role on the wing, he'll most likely be on some sort of minutes limit Wednesday, given that he's been sidelined for each of the Pelicans' last 29 games and may need more time to regain full conditioning.
Jan 25, 2023
On track to play Wednesday
Ingram (toe) is expected to play Wednesday against the Timberwolves, barring a setback in pregame warmups, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has been sidelined for the past two months with a bruised left big toe, but he finally turned a corner over the past few days, when head coach Willie Green said the 25-year-old was able to take part in full-contact, 5-on-5 work in practice. Because of his lengthy layoff, Ingram will most likely be on a minutes restriction of some kind Wednesday, provided he avoids a setback leading up to the 8 p.m. ET opening tip. Ingram's impending return could result in fewer minutes to go around for the likes of Trey Murphy, Naji Marshall (toe), Jose Alvarado and Dyson Daniels (ankle), all of whom have stepped into heightened roles while the one-time All-Star has been out.
Jan 24, 2023
Out again Tuesday
Ingram (toe) will not play Tuesday versus the Nuggets, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.
ANALYSIS
Another night, another absence for Ingram, who hasn't taken the floor since Nov. 25 in Memphis. There is no official timetable for his return, so it's best to consider him doubtful to play each night until there is something to suggest that might change. His next opportunity to suit up arrives Wednesday against the Timberwolves, though it seems highly unlikely.
Jan 23, 2023
Unlikely to play Tuesday
Ingram (toe) is doubtful for Tuesday's matchup against the Nuggets, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram, who hasn't played since Nov. 25 due to a bruised left big toe, has recently began participating in full-contact practices again and is planning on returning to action during the Pelicans' upcoming three-game home set. He'll likely remain sidelined for Tuesday's matchup, and if that's the case, Ingram's next chance to suit up would come Wednesday against Minnesota. However, it appears like a more likely scenario would be Ingram returning for the final contest of the homestand (Saturday against Washington), so he can get a few more days of practice in before being thrust into game action.
Jan 23, 2023
Plans to play during home stand
Ingram (toe) went through a full 5-on-5 practice Monday and plans to return during the Pelicans' upcoming three-game home stand, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram hasn't played since Nov. 25 due to a bruised left big toe, but he's recently began participating in full contact practices and appears on the verge of returning to game action. However, the All-Star forward said his availability will come down to pain tolerance, so it may take him awhile to get back to his usual self. The Pelicans' three-game home stand begins Tuesday with a back-to-back set against Denver and Minnesota, respectively, and ends Saturday versus Washginton.
Jan 22, 2023
Returns to practice, still out
Ingram participated in 5-on-5 work Saturday, per Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com, but the forward will remain out for Sunday's matchup against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Ingram's participation during 5-on-5 work is certainly an encouraging step forward, but it's still unclear when he'll suit up again. The All-Star forward hasn't played since Nov. 25 due to a bruised left toe, and due to the Pelicans' recent struggles, his impending return can't come soon enough. Following Sunday's contest in Miami, New Orleans will travel home for a three-game set, which begins Tuesday against Denver and ends Saturday against Washington. It's possible Ingram plays sometime during that stretch, but more information on his availability moving forward will likely come following Sunday's contest.
Jan 21, 2023
Still out Sunday
Ingram (toe) remains out Sunday against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has yet to practice as of Jan. 10, but the Pelicans continue to take his status on a game-to-game basis. The forward hasn't played since Nov. 25, and it's unclear when he may return.
Jan 19, 2023
Still out Friday
Ingram (toe) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Magic, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram continues to deal with a bruised left toe and hasn't suited up since Nov. 25. Although the Pelicans continue to evaluate him on a game-by-game basis, it's not yet clear when the 25-year-old will be able to return to game action.
Jan 17, 2023
Sidelined again Wednesday
Ingram (toe) remains out for Wednesday's game versus the Heat, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram still hasn't appeared in a game since Nov. 25, and there doesn't look to be a clear timetable for his return at this juncture. The 25-year-old star's status should be monitored ahead of each game, but there hasn't been any news on him returning to practice yet. Until that happens, Ingram will seemingly remain on the sidelines.
Jan 15, 2023
Return not coming Monday
Ingram (toe) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Cavaliers, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The team previously expressed optimism Ingram would return during the current five-game road trip, but that won't come to fruition with the trip coming to an end Monday in Cleveland. The 25-year-old still appears close to making his return, but he'll need to wait until at least Wednesday's matchup with the Heat.
Jan 12, 2023
Remains out Friday
Ingram (toe) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pistons, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The Pelicans recently expressed hope that Ingram would be able to return during the team's current five-game road trip, but Monday's game in Cleveland will be his final chance to do so before the team returns home to face the Heat on Wednesday. He hasn't suited up since Nov. 25, so it seems likely that he'll face a minutes restriction once he's cleared to return.
Jan 10, 2023
Still not practicing
Pelicans head coach Willie Green said Ingram (toe) didn't practice Tuesday, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Though Ingram previously said that he expected to play at some point during the Pelicans' five-game road swing that began last Saturday in Dallas, he sat out the first two contests of the trip and appears on track to miss another one Wednesday in Boston. If Ingram can practice in some capacity Thursday, he might have a chance at being available Friday in Detroit. Given that he hasn't played since Nov. 25 due to a left big toe sprain, Ingram will presumably be on a minutes restriction if he's able to play Friday and/or in the final game of the road trip Monday in Cleveland.
Jan 6, 2023
Hopes to return on road trip
Ingram (toe) said Friday that he hopes to return during the Pelicans' upcoming five-game road trip, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Starting Saturday in Dallas, New Orleans plays five road games over the next 10 days. Ingram, who hasn't played since Nov. 25, is aiming to return during one of those contests, but even if he's cleared, it may take some time for him to shake off the rust and return to top form. Before his absence, Ingram had scored at least 20 points in eight of his 14 appearances, posting 21.7 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.8 assists in 33.1 minutes during that stretch.
Jan 3, 2023
Still not ready for return
Head coach Willie Green relayed Wednesday that Ingram (toe) has been on the court more of late but isn't yet ready to return to game action, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram remains without a specific timetable for his return to action, but it at least appears he's starting to trend in the right direction.

ANALYSIS
Ingram and Herbert Jones (ankle) will miss their seventh and fifth consecutive games, respectively, when the two sit out Sunday's home game against the Suns, but both wings look as though they could be on track to return during the upcoming week.

ANALYSIS

Dec 3, 2022
Still sidelined Sunday
Ingram (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram will miss his fourth straight game Sunday after missing Saturday's practice. Ingram will have plenty of time to rest his toe injury for Wednesday's game against the Pistons. Trey Murphy has started all three games in the star forward's absence.

Ingram (toe) has been listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Thunder, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram left Friday's game with a left big toe sprain and further testing has revealed no structural damage, but it seems as if he is a long shot to play in this one. If he ends up being ruled out, then Ingram's next chance to feature would come Wednesday at home against the Raptors.
Nov 27, 2022
Considered day-to-day
Coach Willie Green said Sunday that Ingram (toe) is considered day-to-day, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram left Friday's game with a left big toe sprain and further testing has revealed no structural damage, per Will Guillory of The Athletic. The Pelicans start a four-game week Monday against the Thunder, and Ingram can likely be considered questionable for that contest.
Nov 25, 2022
Will not return Friday
Ingram will not return to Friday's game against the Grizzlies due to a toe sprain.
ANALYSIS
The severity of Ingram's injury is unknown, but it should be noted the Grizzlies were up more than 30 points on New Orleans late in the third quarter at the time of the team's decision. Thus, there was no need for them to put him back in the game. He exited with just eight points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3PT, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 18 minutes.
Nov 22, 2022
Shines against Warriors
Ingram racked up 34 points (12-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six rebounds, three assists and three steals across 31 minutes during Monday's 128-83 victory over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Ingram posted a season-high mark in scoring and looked impressive on both ends of the court, as he carried the team to victory against a depleted Warriors squad. Ingram has now scored at least 25 points in two games in a row after not doing so not even once in a five-game stretch between Nov. 9 and Nov. 16. Even though he's not been overly consistent on a game-to-game basis, the former Lakers forward is still having a strong season with averages of 22.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.4 assists per contest.
Nov 18, 2022
Leads team in loss
Ingram totaled 25 points (9-20 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 38 minutes during Friday's 117-109 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Ingram led New Orleans in scoring, assists and shots made from three, also leading the Pelicans in shots made in the loss. Ingram has scored 25 or more points with five or more assists in four contests this year.
Nov 17, 2022
Solid all-around production
Ingram totaled 16 points (4-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), six rebounds, nine assists and one block in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 124-110 victory over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Ingram had a below-average shooting night, but he made up for it by stuffing the stat sheet. He finished the contest with the team lead in assists, beating out teammate CJ McCollum by one. Ingram was also one of five Pelican players to swat away a shot, marking his third straight game with a block.
Nov 13, 2022
Comes through in clutch
Ingram produced 20 points (8-19 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals across 38 minutes during Saturday's 119-106 win over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Ingram struggled with his shot through much of the contest, but he came up big when most needed, scoring six points and missing just one shot over the final five minutes to help the Pelicans put the game away. The strong finish helped him get to 20 points for the third time in his past four games. Ingram is also averaging 6.3 boards over the four-game stretch.
Nov 11, 2022
Fouls out Thursday
Ingram racked up 14 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists in 31 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 106-95 loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was limited to 31 minutes in the game due to foul trouble and also had some turnover issues, matching a season-high total with five. Ingram finished the night connecting on half of his shots from the field and from deep, but his counting stats weren't up to par, and it was essentially a night to forget for him. His numbers are still tracking toward his averages in past seasons, so there isn't much to worry about and this can be chalked up as an off night.
Nov 10, 2022
Comes close to double-double
Ingram recorded 22 points (8-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and a steal across 33 minutes in Wednesday's 115-111 win over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Ingram continues to play well after a four-game absence due to a concussion, as the veteran forward has scored at least 20 points in three of his four appearances since returning to the hardwood. Even though he has to share the ball with Zion Williamson and CJ McCollum, Ingram has managed to get his fair share of opportunities on offense and should continue to produce at a very high level.
Nov 8, 2022
Excellent despite loss
Ingram totaled 29 points (12-24 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 37 minutes during Monday's 129-122 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Ingram didn't miss a beat despite missing four games with a concussion, and he has surpassed the 25-point plateau in two of his last three outings since returning to action. Excluding the game in which he had to leave due to the aforementioned injury, Ingram has been outstanding with 25 or more points in all but one game. He's also shooting an impressive 54.5 percent from three-point range, and while some regression can be expected in that department, there's no question he's started the season on a very efficient note.
Nov 5, 2022
Hits the ground running in return
Ingram contributed 26 points (8-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-10 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two blocks over 36 minutes during Friday's 114-105 victory over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Ingram picked right up where he left off in the win, Leading all scorers with a game-high 26 points. With the Warriors opting to rest a number of their starters, this was a perfect game for Ingram to make his return. Despite the return of Zion Williamson this season, Ingram has been able to once again establish himself as a primary offensive option, making him a likely mid-round player the rest of he way.
Nov 4, 2022
Good to go
Ingram (concussion) will return to action in Friday's matchup with the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
No surprise here, as Ingram was given a probable designation heading into the game. He is returning from a four-game absence due to a concussion. Barring any setbacks, he figures to resume close to his usual workload. The star wing averaged 28.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.5 steals in his first to contests this season.
Nov 3, 2022
Probable Friday
Ingram (concussion) is probable for Friday's game against the Warriors, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
After four missed games due to a concussion, Ingram should be back Friday. He started off the season strong, averaging 28.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.5 steals in his first two appearances. His return could cut into the workloads of Naji Marshall, Dyson Daniels and Devonte' Graham.
Oct 27, 2022
Will miss next three games
Ingram (concussion) won't make the Pelicans' three-game road trip, Rod Walker of the New Orleans Advocate reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram will miss the team's west coast road trip while dealing with a concussion, which includes games against the Suns, Clippers and Lakers. Ingram could return to the lineup next Friday at home versus the Warriors. Trey Murphy, Naji Marshall and Dyson Daniels should continue to see extended playing time in the star forward's absence.
Oct 24, 2022
Placed in concussion protocol
Ingram has been placed in the concussion protocol, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Willie Green said Monday morning that Ingram wasn't in the concussion protocol, but the 25-year-old has now been diagnosed with a concussion after exiting Sunday's game against the Jazz after being struck in the head. He'll be forced to miss Tuesday's game against Dallas since he won't be able to begin the return-to-play process until 24 hours after the injury occurs, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available Friday against the Suns. Devonte' Graham and Garrett Temple should see increased run Tuesday.
Oct 24, 2022
Questionable Tuesday
Ingram (head) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram exited Sunday's game against the Jazz due to a head injury, and coach Willie Green said Monday that the 25-year-old is no longer in the concussion protocol. If Ingram is unable to suit up, more minutes should be available for Devonte' Graham and Garrett Temple.
Oct 23, 2022
Won't return Sunday
Ingram has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jazz due to a head injury, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.
ANALYSIS

He's being evaluated for concussion-like symptoms, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available Tuesday against Dallas. Prior to Sunday's departure, he totaled 10 points (4-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), a rebound and a steal in 11 minutes.
Oct 22, 2022
Solid night from charity stripe
Ingram finished with 28 points (8-16 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 11-11 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals in 37 minutes during Friday's 124-112 victory over Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Ingram fell one rebound shy of his first double-double of the new season as he found ways to contribute across the board. He has at least one steal in each of his first two games of the year and picked up his first block.
Oct 14, 2022
No rust to shake off
Ingram finished with 19 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal over 20 minutes in Friday's preseason game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Ingram didn't miss a beat in his preseason debut, shooting efficiently from the field while also distributing the basketball. He missed the last few exhibitions due to a toe injury but will be at full strength entering the regular-season opener Wednesday in Brooklyn.
Oct 14, 2022
Starting Friday
Ingram will start Friday's preseason finale against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Ingram will make his preseason debut during the Pelicans' final exhibition contest. The star forward had been sidelined with a lingering toe issue, but there was never any legitimate concern that he'd miss the team's regular-season opener.
Oct 14, 2022
Likely to play Friday
Head coach Willie Green indicated Friday that Ingram should take the floor against the Hawks but the final decision won't be made until after warmups, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram hasn't appeared in a preseason contest to date but may get his chance Friday in the final tilt before the regular season fires up. He could be in line for limited minutes if he suits up, given that he hasn't seen the floor in game action yet.
Oct 13, 2022
Questionable Friday
Ingram (toe) remains questionable for Friday's tilt with the Hawks, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has yet to participate in preseason action, but there is some optimism he may debut Friday after dealing with lingering toe soreness. Ingram will play an integral role as a primary contributor for the Pelicans in the upcoming campaign as the team looks to solidify themselves as legitimate contenders. If Ingram is unable to go Friday, his next opportunity to suit up will be on Oct. 19 against the Nets.
Oct 12, 2022
Hopeful to play Friday
Ingram said Wednesday that he's made progressions in the past few days that could get him on the floor for Friday's preseason game versus the Hawks, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS

Oct 12, 2022
Remains out Wednesday
Ingram (toe) will not take the floor Wednesday against the Heat, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Willie Green feels optimistic that Ingram will rejoin the action for Friday's preseason finale, giving the starting lineup a game together before the regular season fires up.

Oct 11, 2022
Listed questionable for Wednesday
Ingram (toe) is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Heat, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Willie Green suggested Ingram has a good shot to return before the preseason concludes, but it remains to be seen if that will come Wednesday or if they will wait until Friday's preseason finale to run him back on the floor.
Oct 11, 2022
Practicing, likely to play Wednesday
Head coach Willie Green indicated Tuesday that Ingram (toe) practiced in full and will likely play against Miami on Wednesday, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram sat out Sunday's preseason contest versus the Spurs due to the toe issue, but it looks like he is trending in the right direction. The practice appearance and Green's post-practice comments suggest that Ingram will rejoin the fold for Wednesday's preseason tilt.
Oct 9, 2022
Ruled out Sunday
Ingram (toe) won't play in Sunday's exhibition game against the Spurs, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has yet to play in the preseason due to soreness in his left fifth toe. Following Sunday's game, Ingram will have one more opportunity to play during the preseason before the Pelicans open the regular season against the Nets on Oct. 19.
Oct 8, 2022
Questionable Sunday
Ingram (toe) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS

Oct 8, 2022
Partially practices Saturday
Ingram (toe) went through parts of Saturday's practice, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.
ANALYSIS

Oct 7, 2022
Won't play Friday
Pelicans head coach Willie Green said Ingram (toe) won't play in Friday's exhibition contest against the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Ingram will miss a second straight exhibition contest due to a toe issue. The extent of the injury remains unclear, but his next chance to suit up will come Sunday against the Spurs.

Oct 6, 2022
Misses practice Thursday
Ingram (toe) did not practice Thursday and is questionable for Friday's preseason game versus the Pistons, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

Oct 4, 2022
Officially ruled out Tuesday
Ingram (toe) won't play in Tuesday's preseason contest against Chicago, Rob Schaefer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
ANALYSIS

Oct 4, 2022
Unlikely to play Tuesday
Ingram (toe) is technically a game-time decision for Tuesday's preseason game against the Bulls but is not expected to play, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was able to practice Sunday, but the Pelicans will exercise caution with the forward during exhibition play. Assuming he sits out Tuesday, his next chance to play arrives Friday against the Pistons.
Oct 3, 2022
Questionable for preseason opener
Pelicans head coach Willie Green said Monday that Ingram (finger/toe) is questionable for Tuesday's exhibition contest against Chicago, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram underwent surgery on his right fifth finger at the beginning of June and has slowly worked his way back to game action, but he's now dealing with toe soreness. It's encouraging to see him listed as questionable and not immediately ruled out, but it's unlikely the Pelicans would risk a setback by thrusting him into exhibition action. CJ McCollum (ankle) is also listed as questionable, though he figures to have a better chance of playing after logging a full practice Sunday.
Oct 3, 2022
Questionable for preseason opener
Pelicans head coach Willie Green said Monday that Ingram (finger/toe) is questionable for Tuesday's exhibition contest against Chicago, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram underwent surgery on his right fifth finger at the beginning of June and has slowly worked his way back to game action, but he's now dealing with toe soreness. It's an encouraging sign to see him listed as questionable and not immediately ruled out, but it's unlikely the Pelicans would risk a setback by thrusting him into exhibition action. CJ McCollum (ankle) is also listed as questionable, though he figures to have a better chance of playing after logging a full practice Sunday.
Jun 10, 2022
Undergoes finger surgery
The Pelicans announced Friday that Ingram underwent surgery Tuesday to address a flexion contracture in his right fifth finger.
ANALYSIS
Ingram dealt with both ankle and hamstring injuries prior to the 2022 NBA Playoffs, but this is the first time the finger issue was mentioned by the team. The surgery was performed by Dr. Steven Shin in Los Angeles and was deemed to be successful, so Ingram is expected to miss the next six to eight weeks as he recovers from the operation. He should be fully healthy by the time the 2022-23 season begins.
Apr 29, 2022
Double-double not enough in Game 6
Ingram totaled 21 points (8-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, 11 assists and one steal across 44 minutes during Thursday's 115-109 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
It was an impressive performance from the 24-year-old, who recorded a double-double involving assists for the first time since early February, but it wasn't enough to keep the Pelicans' season alive. Ingram averaged 27.0 points, 6.2 boards, 6.2 assists and 1.8 threes in six games against the Suns, and it will be interesting to see if he can come close to that production in 2022-23 with the benefit of having CJ McCollum at his side all season.
Apr 27, 2022
Leads team in loss
Ingram finished with 22 points (7-19 FG, 1-5 3PT, 7-11 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one still in a 112-97 loss to Phoenix on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Ingram cooled off after three straight performances of 30-plus points. His 63.6 percent shooting from the free-throw line was his worst of the series and worst in almost two months. New Orleans will need Ingram to be more efficient in a must-win Game 6.
Apr 25, 2022
Carries Pels to Game 4 victory
Ingram provided 30 points (11-23 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-10 FT), four rebounds and five assists across 36 minutes during Sunday's 118-103 win over Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was part of the reason the Pelicans struggled from three-point range (6-24 3Pt as a team), but New Orleans still managed to shoot 47.1 percent from the field and committed just eight turnovers en route to evening the series. After a shaky Game 1 (18 points in 39 minutes), Ingram has emerged as a major force over the last three games, tallying 37, 34 and now 30 points apiece. During that span, he's up to 33.7 points, 7.3 boards, 5.3 assists and 2.3 threes per game.
Apr 23, 2022
Leads all scorers in loss
Ingram finished with 34 points (11-19 FG, 3-6 3PT, 9-10 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block in a 114-111 loss to Phoenix on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has posted back-to-back games of 34-plus points on 57.9 percent shooting from the field. The Duke product is also shooting 7-of-11 from deep through three playoff games. New Orleans will need him to stay hot if they want to avoid going down 3-1 in the series.
Apr 20, 2022
Monster game in victory
Ingram finished with 37 points (13-21 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 11 rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal across 39 minutes during Tuesday's 125-114 victory over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Ingram helped propel the Pelicans to victory after a huge fourth quarter, although he was efficient throughout the entire game. He was one assist short of a triple-double but recorded his fifth double-double. Ingram's 37 points marked his third-highest scoring total of the season.
Apr 16, 2022
Leads New Orleans to playoff berth
Ingram finished with 30 points (14-21 FG, 2-4 FT), six rebounds and six assists over 43 minutes during Friday's 105-101 victory over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was efficient and prolific en route to a game-high 30 points during the win-or-go-home matchup. After building a 16-point advantage in the first half, the Pelicans blew the lead early in the third after the Clippers switched to a small-ball lineup and eventually trailed by as many as 13. After a timeout, Ingram hit back-to-back contested turnaround jumpers to get the New Orleans back in the game and ignited a furious fourth-quarter comeback. The 2016 No. 2 overall pick averaged 28.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists across two play-in games and will look to continue his dominating play when he makes his playoff debut against the Suns on Sunday.
Apr 14, 2022
Shines in play-in victory
Ingram logged 27 points (11-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds and five assists in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 113-103 win over San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Ingram battled foul trouble in the first half but still put up 13 points before halftime. He added 14 more points in the second half and finished as the Pelicans' second-leading scorer behind CJ McCollum (32 points). Ingram rounded out his stat line with five boards and five dimes and will look to carry over this strong performance into Friday's matchup against the Clippers.
Apr 13, 2022
Good to go vs. Spurs
Ingram (hamstring) will play and won't have any restrictions Wednesday against the Spurs, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Ingram will be back in action for the play-in tournament after missing the last three games of the regular season due to a sore right hamstring. He's averaging 22.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 5.6 assists in 34.0 minutes per game this season, and he should handle another sizable workload against the Spurs on Wednesday.
Apr 12, 2022
Officially probable for Wednesday
Ingram (hamstring) is listed as probable for Wednesday's play-in game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Ingram went through a full practice Tuesday and told reporters afterwards that he plans on playing in Wednesday's win-or-go-home matchup. All signs point to the star forward suiting up for the critical game, but DFS players should still proceed with caution until he's officially ruled available.
Apr 12, 2022
Says he'll play Wednesday
Ingram (hamstring) said he'll play in Wednesday's play-in game against the Spurs, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram went through a full practice Tuesday, but Pelicans head coach Willie Green said the team would wait to see how he responds to the scrimmage before determining his availability. However, based on his comments, New Orleans' star forward seems confident he'll be available for the win-or-go-home matchup. The Pelicans haven't released their official injury report yet, so DFS players should still proceed with caution until he's officially ruled available.
Apr 12, 2022
Practices in full Tuesday
Pelicans head coach Willie Green said Ingram (hamstring) was a full participant at practice Tuesday, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Green added that the team will see how Ingram responds to Tuesday's practice before making a definitive statement about his availability for Wednesday's win-or-go-home play-in matchup against the Spurs. The sixth-year forward missed the final three games of the regular season, but it appears he's trending towards being available for New Orleans' biggest game of the season. Over his last five appearances, Ingram has averaged 21.2 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.0 assists in 31.6 minutes per game. The Pelicans were 4-1 during that stretch.
Apr 10, 2022
Ruled out Sunday
Ingram (hamstring) will not play Sunday against Golden State.
ANALYSIS
This will be the third straight absence for Ingram, who continues to deal with nagging soreness in his right hamstring. The injury appears to be legitimate, so his status will be worth monitoring very closely ahead of Wednesday's win-or-go-home play-in matchup against the Spurs.
Apr 9, 2022
Ruled out Saturday
Ingram (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup, and he'll ultimately be forced to miss a second straight game due to his hamstring injury. Devonte' Graham will likely remain in the starting lineup.
Apr 8, 2022
Questionable for Saturday
Ingram (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was sidelined from March 8 through March 26 due to a hamstring issue, but he returned to play five consecutive games and averaged 21.2 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.0 assists during that stretch. However, he was sidelined again Thursday due to the issue and may miss a second straight game Saturday. If he's ruled out, Devonte' Graham figures to draw another start.
Apr 7, 2022
Officially out Thursday
Ingram (hamstring) will not play Thursday against Portland.
ANALYSIS
The Pelicans listed Ingram as doubtful earlier in the day, and they've officially ruled him out as they square off against the tanking Trail Blazers. Ingram's absence is likely just precautionary, but his status will be worth monitoring ahead of the Pelicans' season-ending back-to-back set Saturday (at MEM) and Sunday (vs. GSW).
Apr 7, 2022
Expected to sit Thursday
Ingram is considered doubtful for Thursday's game against Portland due to tightness in his hamstring, Christian Clark of NOLA.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram missed 10 games last month with a hamstring strain, the Pels are likely just exercising caution with the play-in tournament right around the corner. If Ingram does, in fact, sit Thursday, he'll have two more opportunities to play before the end of the regular season.
Apr 6, 2022
Diverse line in win
Ingram logged 17 points (5-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT), seven rebounds and eight assists in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 123-109 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Ingram struggled with his shot a bit, but his secondary numbers had him sniffing a potential triple-double in the win. Ingram is typically very shot-dependent, but he's seen a sizeable increase in his rebound and assist numbers this year. On the season, he's averaging 22.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 5.6 assists.
Apr 2, 2022
Big game in key win over Lakers
Ingram totaled 29 points (10-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 9-9 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal in 35 minutes during Friday's 114-111 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
The Pelicans embarrassed the Lakers once again, putting more distance between themselves and Los Angeles with the end of the regular season only eight days away. It was a strong overall effort for Ingram, who topped 30 minutes for the first time since returning from injury earlier in the week. Dating back to the start of February, Ingram is averaging a well-rounded 23.9 points, 6.3 assists, 5.1 rebounds and shooting 51.5 percent from the floor.
Mar 31, 2022
Registers 19/6/6 line in win
Ingram supplied 19 points (4-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 11-13 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 117-107 win over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Ingram struggled from the field against Portland but supplied a healthy point total thanks to an 11-for-13 effort from the charity stripe. The lanky guard also led the team with six assists. Ingram missed 10 games in March due to a hamstring injury, but he was productive when he played, averaging 29.0 points, 6.4 dimes, 6.2 boards and 1.2 three-pointers across five games.
Mar 28, 2022
Leads comeback in return
Ingram finished with 26 points (10-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds and five assists across 26 minutes during Sunday's 116-108 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
New Orleans was down by 23 at one point in the second quarter, but after missing the previous 10 games due to a hamstring injury, Ingram wasn't going to let them lose against his former team. The win was potentially a huge one for the Pelicans, as they moved a half-game ahead of the Lakers and into ninth place in the Western Conference in the battle for a spot in the play-in tournament. Despite two different injury absences, Ingram has scored in double digits in every game he's played in 2022, and his ability to stay on the court will likely be crucial to the Pels' chances of staying alive.
Mar 27, 2022
Set to play, will have restrictions
Ingram (hamstring) will be available Sunday against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Ingram will make his long-awaited return from a 10-game absence, but earlier in the day Sunday, coach Willie Green cautioned that the wing will face an unspecified minutes restriction. Ingram's return is a shot in the arm for fantasy managers still alive in daily lineup leagues, but given the uncertainty surrounding his workload he's a risky play in DFS contests.
Mar 27, 2022
Will play under minutes restriction
Pelicans head coach Willie Green said Ingram (hamstring) will "more than likely" play Sunday against the Lakers, but he will be on a minutes restriction, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has missed 10 straight games due to a hamstring strain, but as expected, he will likely return to the rotation Sunday. It's unclear how big of a role he will have against Los Angeles but any restriction to his minutes makes him a difficult fantasy option to trust.
Mar 27, 2022
Likely available Sunday
Ingram (hamstring) is probable for Sunday's contest against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has missed 10 straight games due to a right hamstring strain, but he's expected to return to action Sunday. If he's cleared, it's possible he'll operate off the bench or with a minutes limit, but either way, it's an encouraging sign to him making progress.
Mar 26, 2022
Ruled out for Saturday
Ingram (hamstring) will not play in Saturday's game against the Spurs, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was initially deemed questionable for the contest, but things must not have improved enough over the last 24 hours for him to give it ago. The initial questionable tag is at least a signal that the 24-year-old is drawing closer to a return.
Mar 25, 2022
Questionable Saturday
Ingram (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's game against San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has missed the last nine games and was limited at practice Wednesday, but he's been trending in the right direction recently and will have a chance to return for the first half of a back-to-back set Saturday. Even if he's available against the Spurs, it's possible that Ingram will be on a minutes restriction following his lengthy absence.
Mar 24, 2022
Ruled out Thursday
Ingram (hamstring) will remain out Thursday against the Bulls, Andrew Lopez of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Ingram will miss another contest after he was unable to practice at full capacity on Wednesday. Coach Willie Green would not commit to Ingram returning for Saturday's game against the Spurs or Sunday's matchup against the Lakers, but he intimated that Ingram shouldn't be out too much longer.
Mar 23, 2022
Doubtful vs. Bulls
Ingram (hamstring) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Bulls, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Ingram will presumably remain shelved after being limited at Wednesday's practice. It seems like he's at least making progress, so it's possible he'll be ready for Saturday's game against the Spurs.
Mar 23, 2022
Limited at practice Wednesday
Ingram (hamstring) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, and his availability for Thursday's matchup with the Bulls remains up in the air, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has sat out the past eight games with a strained right hamstring, and his absence is in danger of stretching to nine contests Thursday.. The 24-year-old's status should be updated later in the day when New Orleans releases its official injury report.
Mar 21, 2022
Will remain out Monday
Ingram (hamstring) will remain out for Monday's game at Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Monday will mark the eighth straight absence for Ingram, who continues to nurse a strained right hamstring. At this stage, his status should be handled on a game-to-game basis, with Thursday's matchup against the Bulls looming as his next chance to return to the floor.
Mar 19, 2022
To remain out Sunday
Ingram (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Ingram didn't travel for Friday's win over the Spurs due to a non-COVID illness, and he'll miss a seventh consecutive game Sunday when the Pelicans head to Atlanta. The illness certainly complicates things further as far as when he might be able to return to the court, so at this point it seems unlikely he'll be available before next Thursday's home matchup against the Bulls.
Mar 18, 2022
Doesn't travel due to illness
Ingram (hamstring) didn't travel with the team to San Antonio on Friday due to a non-COVID illness, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Friday's contest is the start of a three-game road trip for the Pelicans, and it's currently unclear if Ingram, who also remains day-to-day with a hamstring injury, will be able to join the team before they face the Bulls at home next Thursday. The star forward has already missed five consecutive contests and New Orleans has just one win during that stretch, so his prolonged absence has been a huge blow to a squad that's fighting desperately to stick in the playoff picture.
Mar 9, 2022
Out at least one week
Ingram was diagnosed with a mild strain in his right hamstring after undergoing an MRI on Wednesday and will be re-evaluated in 7-to-10 days, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram missed Tuesday's loss to Memphis and was already ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with Orlando due to the hamstring issue, and he'll now be sidelined for at least three additional games. The diagnosis of a mild strain is a good sign, but with only a month left in the regular season every absence is critical with the Pelicans currently sitting in 10th place in the Western Conference, which would secure the final play-in spot. Tony Snell and Naji Marshal should see increased run while Ingram is unavailable.
Mar 9, 2022
Remains out Wednesday
Ingram (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Ingram continues to deal with right hamstring soreness, and he'll be unavailable for a second consecutive game. Tony Snell, CJ McCollum and Herbert Jones are candidates to see increased run Wednesday.
Mar 8, 2022
Won't play Tuesday
Ingram (hamstring) won't play in Tuesday's game against Memphis, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.
ANALYSIS
The Pelicans are officially ruling out their forward in their first game of a back-to-back, as Ingram emerged from Sunday's loss to Denver with an apparent hamstring injury. Ingram's absence in the lineup will be tough to fill. The Duke product is averaging 29.4 points across 58.5 percent overall shooting dating back to Feb. 25. Thus with Ingram out, Garrett Temple is a prime candidate to see increased run against the Grizzlies.
Mar 8, 2022
Questionable for Tuesday's contest
Ingram is questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Grizzlies due to right hamstring soreness.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was dominant during Sunday's overtime loss to the Nuggets, totaling 38 points (12-24 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 11-13 FT), nine assists and five rebounds in 40 minutes. He was absent from the injury report Monday, so it's unclear when the injury actually occurred, though the late addition is never a good sign. If he is sidelined, Garrett Temple and Devonte' Graham are likely candidates to join the starting lineup, but CJ McCollum would presumably handle the majority of the playmaking duties for New Orleans.
Mar 7, 2022
Shines against Denver
Ingram accumulated 38 points (12-24 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 11-13 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and one block in 40 minutes during Sunday's 138-130 overtime loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Ingram became viral after hitting a halfcourt shot at the buzzer, but he stood out throughout the entire game due to what was an impressive performance on both ends of the court -- he posted his second-best scoring output of the season and also included his second-best mark of the season in the assists department. For what it's worth, Ingram has now scored at least 28 points in four of his last five appearances.
Mar 3, 2022
Explodes for 33 points
Ingram had 33 points (15-19 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six assists and five rebounds across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 125-95 victory over Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Ingram had taken more of a back seat to CJ McCollum since the Pelicans acquired the latter on Feb. 8, but the 24-year-old took greater control of the offense Wednesday and turned in a shooting clinic. The 15-for-19 tour de force was a welcome sight after Ingram had converted only 43.2 percent of his field-goal attempts -- including a 1-for-13 mark from three-point range -- over the previous five contests.
Feb 28, 2022
Scores 19 with eight assists
Ingram contributed 19 points (8-18 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-6 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Sunday's 123-95 victory over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Ingram's scoring numbers are down since the arrival of CJ McCollum (22 points), but he's become a more reliable facilitator, handing out at least seven assists in four of his last five games. Since McCollum debuted (Feb. 10 vs. MIA), Ingram is averaging 17.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game while shooting 44.6 percent from the field. He's been mired in a drought from three-point land, hitting only 3-of-21 attempts in that span.
Feb 25, 2022
Finds form in victory Friday
Ingram ended Friday's 117-102 victory over Phoenix with 28 points (9-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 10-11 FT), five rebounds and seven assists over 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Ingram finally got things going in the right direction Friday, helping the Pelicans to arguably their best victory of the season. Since the arrival of C.J. McCollum, Ingram has seen his offense struggle. Thankfully, he was able to find his stroke in this one, although the lack of defensive production was disappointing. This is obviously a feeling-out period for both players and so fantasy managers should expect a few ups and downs along the way.
Feb 15, 2022
Sniffs triple-double in win
Ingram supplied 10 points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and one steal across 29 minutes during Monday's 120-90 win over the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Ingram didn't have a lot of touches on offense and only attempted seven field goals, but he supplied that lack of scoring with strong numbers across the board. In fact, he ended just two dimes away from posting a triple-double and also collaborated on defense with two blocks -- the third time has records multiple blocks over his last six appearances.
Feb 7, 2022
Delivers big double-double
Ingram chipped in 33 points (12-21 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-9 FT), three rebounds, 12 assists, one block and three steals in 36 minutes during Sunday's 120-107 win over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Ingram missed five games in late January but hasn't skipped a beat since returning to the hardwood, putting up 23 or more points in each of his past three contests and also dishing out 12 dimes in each of his last two games. He's averaging 27.3 points, 9.3 assists and 3.3 rebounds per game in three February appearances.
Feb 2, 2022
Scores game-high 26 points
Ingram chipped in 26 points (8-18 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 9-10 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes before getting ejected from Tuesday's 111-101 win over Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Ingram scored a game-high 26 points during his return from a five-game absence due to a sprained ankle. As long as he can stay healthy, the sixth-year wing should continue to stuff the stat sheet. In 37 appearances, he's averaging 22.5 points, 6.0 rebounds and 5.2 assists across 34.3 minutes per game. However, he has missed 14 games already, which certainly has had an impact on his overall fantasy production.
Feb 1, 2022
Cleared to play
Ingram (ankle) will make his return Tuesday against the Pistons, Jennifer Hale of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram is back following five straight absences due to a sprained ankle. He could have his minutes monitored in his return. In January, he averaged 21.0 points, 6.3 assists and 6.0 rebounds in 33.3 minutes.
Feb 1, 2022
Will be game-time call
Ingram (ankle) will be a game-time call for Tuesday's matchup against the Pistons, Jim Eichenhofer of Pelicans.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Monday's game against the Cavs marked Ingram's fifth straight absence due to a sprained right ankle, but there's some hope that he'll be able to make his return on the second half of the back-to-back set. Coach Willy Green told the media pregame that Ingram will go through an on-court workout before a final evaluation. Fellow-wing Josh Hart (knee) has already been ruled out of Tuesday's game.
Feb 1, 2022
Questionable for Tuesday's contest
Ingram (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Ingram missed a fifth straight contest Monday due to a sprained right ankle. He's been listed as questionable three times over the last four games, so the designation doesn't offer much optimism. If he's sidelined again, Garret Temple figures to draw another start, while Nickeil Alexander-Walker should play his usual role off the bench.
Jan 31, 2022
Out again Monday
Ingram (ankle) won't play Monday against the Cavaliers, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram will miss a fifth straight game with a sprained right ankle. Garrett Temple figures to draw another start, while Nickeil Alexander-Walker plays his usual role off the bench. Ingram's next chance to suit up will be Tuesday against the Pistons.
Jan 30, 2022
Questionable Monday
Ingram (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game at Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has sat out the past four games with a sprained right ankle but may be able to retake the court Monday. Garrett Temple figures to receive another start should Ingram remains sidelined versus the Cavaliers.
Jan 29, 2022
Remains out Saturday
Ingram (ankle) is out Saturday against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Ingram will miss a fourth consecutive game due to a sprained right ankle. His next chance to return will be Monday against Cleveland.
Jan 28, 2022
Out Friday
Ingram (ankle) is out for Friday's matchup against the Nuggets, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram is out for a third straight game Friday, as is Jonas Valanciunas (illness). Their next chance to play arrives Saturday against the Celtics.
Jan 27, 2022
Questionable Friday
Ingram (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has missed the past two games with a sprained ankle and was unable to participate at Thursday's practice, and he's now questionable for Friday's contest. Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Garrett Temple should continue to see increased playing time for New Orleans should Ingram remain sidelined.
Jan 27, 2022
Sits out practice
Pelicans head coach Willie Green said Ingram (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Green merely said, "We'll see," when asked if Ingram would play Friday versus the Nuggets, so the star wing can be viewed as questionable for the time being. Ingram has missed the Pelicans' past two games with a sprained right ankle.
Jan 25, 2022
Out again Tuesday
Ingram (ankle) will not play in Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Pelicans broadcaster Erin Summers reports.
ANALYSIS
A sprained right ankle with keep Ingram out of both halves of the back-to-back set after he missed Monday's win over the Pacers. The hope is that with a few more days of rest, Ingram can return for Friday's home matchup against Denver.
Jan 23, 2022
Ruled out Monday
Ingram (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pacers, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was held out of practice Saturday after he suffered a right ankle sprain Thursday against the Knicks, and he'll be forced to miss at least one game. The 24-year-old is considered day-to-day, so it's not yet clear whether he'll be available Tuesday against Philadelphia.
Jan 22, 2022
Doesn't practice Saturday
Ingram (ankle) didn't participate in Saturday's practice session, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram suffered a right ankle sprain in Thursday's win over the Knicks and has undergone additional imaging since then. Coach Willie Green said after Saturday's practice that Ingram is considered day-to-day, so he could have a chance to suit up Monday against Indiana.
Jan 20, 2022
Suffers ankle sprain
Ingram suffered an ankle sprain in the Pelicans' win over the Knicks on Thursday, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram managed to log 27 minutes in Thursday's contest before injuring his ankle. The forward finished the game with 15 points, six assists and five rebounds. Expect Herbert Jones and Josh Hart to see extended minutes if Ingram is forced to miss time.
Jan 17, 2022
Poor shooting performance
Ingram amassed 15 points (6-19 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Monday's 104-92 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Ingram failed to score at least 20 points for the first time in his last six games. However, the 6-foot-8 forward salvaged the outing by grabbing double digit rebounds for just the third time this season. With Devonte' Graham continuing to struggle, Ingram is the clear cut No. 1 option in New Orleans, which makes him a valuable fantasy commodity. He will look to bounce back from his poor shooting night Thursday against the Knicks.
Jan 16, 2022
Scores team-high 22 points
Ingram racked up 22 points (8-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and one block over 34 minutes during Saturday's 120-105 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Ingram scored 20-plus points for the fifth time this season and is averaging 26.6 points, 6.6 assists and 5.8 rebounds during that stretch. He's the clear No. 1 option in New Orleans, which should continue to result in consistent production for fantasy managers.
Jan 11, 2022
Drops game-high 33 points Tuesday
Ingram chipped in 33 points (11-19 FG, 6-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 128-125 victory over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was electrifying for the Pelicans in the win, leading all scorers with 33 points on highly efficient shooting. Since returning from injury, Ingram has been able to rejuvenate what had been a frustrating season. He looks far more aggressive and is finishing at the basket on a regular basis. If you are concerned about the injury risk, now could be a good time to float a few sell-high offers out there to see if anyone bites.
Jan 6, 2022
Delivers efficient line Thursday
Ingram notched 32 points (12-20 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 11 rebounds and six assists across 35 minutes during Thursday's 101-96 win over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was finally able to get something going on the offensive end of the floor, going 12-of-20 from the floor en route to a game-high 32 points. Since returning from his latest injury, Ingram has been ice cold from the field, making this performance a much-needed shot in the arm for fantasy managers. The medical staff is likely to be cautious moving forward, something that could certainly result in a few more missed games before the season is all said and done.
Jan 3, 2022
Struggles through 31 minutes
Ingram finished Monday's loss to Utah with 10 points (3-18 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven assists, four rebounds and one block in 31 minutes.
ANALYSIS
A sore Achilles kept Ingram out of the last two games, and he was considered a game-time call leading up to Monday's contest. He was ultimately deemed healthy enough to play, but the Duke product looked plenty rusty and his easily his worst shooting night of the season. Before the Achilles issue popped up, Ingram was in the midst of a strong stretch of play, averaging 27.6 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.7 threes across his previous 11 healthy games. His status will be worth monitoring closely as the Pelicans head into the second night of a back-to-back Tuesday against Phoenix.
Jan 3, 2022
Ready to play Monday
Ingram (Achilles) is available for Monday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was a game-time decision after missing the past two games due to left Achilles soreness, and he'll retake the court against Utah. He averaged 28.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.0 steal in 38.2 minutes across the previous five games before being sidelined by the injury.
Jan 3, 2022
Will be game-time call
Ingram (Achilles) is trending toward being a game-time decision for Monday's contest against the Jazz, Andrew Lopez of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The Pels are officially listing the star wing as questionable as he continues to deal with a sore left Achilles. The good news is he was able to practice with team Friday, but he he was still held out of Saturday's game against Milwaukee as a precaution. Ingram told reporters at shootaround Monday that he'll consult with the Pelicans' training staff before making a collective decision on his status for Monday night.
Jan 2, 2022
Could return Monday
Ingram (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Jazz, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has missed the Pelicans' last two games with left Achilles soreness, but the star wing looks like he'll have a chance to suit up Monday if he checks out fine when being re-evaluated following morning shootaround. Rookie Herbert Jones has stepped up the past two contests while Ingram has been out, averaging 20.0 points, 6.5 boards, 3.0 assists, 3.0 blocks, 2.0 triples and 1.5 steals in 35.5 minutes between those contests.
Jan 1, 2022
Out at Milwaukee
Ingram (Achilles) is out for Saturday's game against the Bucks, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram's Achilles is still sore, so he'll miss a second straight game. In his absence, Garrett Temple, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and other wings figure to see increased usage.
Dec 31, 2021
Listed as questionable
Ingram (Achilles) is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's contest against the Bucks, Pelicans' broadcaster Erin Summers reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram practiced Friday for the first time since leaving Tuesday's contest against the Thunder after he played just nine minutes. Coach Willie Green said he's still considered day-to-day, so if he isn't able to suit up Saturday, then he will likely be available for Monday's contest against the Jazz.
Dec 31, 2021
Practices Friday
Coach Willie Green said Ingram (Achilles) practiced Friday, but he's still considered day-to-day, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram played just nine minutes against the Thunder on Sunday and was sidelined for Tuesday's win over the Cavaliers, but the star forward appears to be inching towards a return. Before the injury, Ingram had scored 20-plus points in 12 of his last 14 contests and was averaging 25.9 points, 6.0 rebounds and 5.3 assists during that stretch.
Dec 28, 2021
Ruled out Tuesday
Ingram (Achilles) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers, Andrew Lopez of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
He was listed as doubtful earlier in the day, so it's no surprise that Ingram will be held out after he departed Sunday's game against the Thunder with soreness in his left Achilles. The good news, however, is coach Willie Green told the media pregame that "it looks promising that [Ingram] can be back soon." The Pelicans are off Wednesday, Thursday and Friday before taking on the Bucks in Milwaukee on Saturday night.
Dec 27, 2021
Doubtful Tuesday
Ingram (Achilles) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against Cleveland, Pelicans broadcaster Erin Summers reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram exited Sunday's game against Oklahoma City due to left Achilles soreness, and it appears as though he'll be forced to miss at least one additional contest. If he's ultimately held out Tuesday, Garrett Temple and Tomas Satoransky should see increased run.
Dec 26, 2021
Won't return to Sunday's contest
Ingram (Achilles) will not return to Sunday's contest against the Thunder, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
The wing exited Sunday's contest early and will not be available for New Orleans for the remainder of its contest against the Thunder. This is obviously not what the Pelicans want to hear, especially as Ingram has been averaging an impressive 27.6 points per game over his last 11 appearances. New Orleans plays Cleveland on Tuesday.
Dec 24, 2021
Keeps rolling
Ingram had 31 points (12-23 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six rebounds and four assists over 36 minutes during Thursday's 110-104 victory over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has now scored over 25 points in five of his last six contests. Throughout December, Ingram is averaging 27.7 points. 6.0 rebounds and 5.9 assists on nearly 50 percent shooting. He is a top-15 scorer in the league and a boom candidate on Sunday against the Thunder.
Dec 19, 2021
Pelicans-76ers postponed
Ingram and the Pelicans won't face the 76ers on Sunday after the game was postponed due to depth concerns for Philadelphia, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Philadelphia currently has three players in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocol and another seven players on the injury report, leaving the team with just seven healthy members on the roster. Since the NBA stipulates that teams must have eight players active for the contest, the league was forced to postpone the contest. Ingram and the Pelicans will return to action Tuesday against the Trail Blazers.
Dec 15, 2021
Drops 34, Pels win at buzzer
Ingram notched 34 points (11-21 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 11-15 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 113-110 victory over Oklahoma City.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was once again the centerpiece of the Pelicans' offense, leading the team in scoring, shot attempts and free throw attempts while chipping in some valuable rebounds and assists. Ingram drilled a difficult, contested jumper with 8.0 seconds left to give New Orleans a 108-105 lead, and he sunk a pair of free throws with 4.5 seconds left to again put the Pels up three. After Shai Gilgeous-Alexander hit a wild three-pointer to tie it up with 2.3 second remaining, Devonte' Graham tossed up a 61-foot heave that found the bottom of the net as time expired. Ingram appears to have found a groove over the last two weeks, averaging 27.9 points per game over his last eight appearances.
Dec 11, 2021
Stuffs stat sheet in win
Ingram provided 26 points (9-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two blocks over 34 minutes during Friday's 109-93 win over Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Ingram made his presence felt on both ends of the court in this one, and while injuries forced him to have a slow start to the season, he has been trending up in recent games. He has scored at least 24 points in five of his last six appearances, including a 40-point output against the Rockets last Sunday.
Dec 6, 2021
Goes off for 40 but Pels fall
Ingram contributed 40 points (15-28 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 38 minutes during Sunday's 118-108 loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
The 40 points were easily a season high for Ingram, who topped 30 points for just the second time in 19 appearances. He was coming off of a 24-point, 12-assist, eight-rebound, two-steal effort against Dallas on Friday, so Ingram looks to be heating up after an up-and-down start to the season marred by a seven-game injury absence to begin November. The Pelicans enter a three-game Week 8 that begins Wednesday against Denver.
Dec 4, 2021
Flirts with triple-double in win
Ingram accumulated 24 points (7-20 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 9-11 FT), eight rebounds, 12 assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Friday's 107-91 win over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Ingram handed out 12 dimes in the win, falling just two rebounds short of his first triple-double of the season. While his shooting woes did continue, he salvaged his night with some gaudy production across the board. On the whole, it's been a disappointing season for Ingram but with Zion Williamson still out for an extended period, he will have plenty of time to find his offensive rhythm.
Dec 2, 2021
Strong effort despite loss
Ingram finished with 29 points (11-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and three assists in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 139-107 loss to Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has scored at least 20 points in four of his last five games, and his scoring numbers have seen quite an uptick of late. While the star forward struggled to show his best form after returning from a seven-game absence last month, Ingram is averaging 22.8 points per game while shooting 51.2 percent from the field over his last five contests. He's clearly moving in the right direction of late.
Nov 30, 2021
Tallies 27 points Monday
Ingram amassed 27 points (12-18 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds and four assists across 34 minutes during Monday's 123-104 win over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Jonas Valanciunas (39 points, 15 boards) was the star of the show for the Pelicans on Monday, but Ingram put together a fine effort of his own with 27 points on an efficient 12-of-18 shooting. The lanky forward rounded out his stat line with seven boards and four dimes while committing only one turnover. Ingram has scored 20-plus points in three of his past four games.
Nov 27, 2021
Inefficiently scores 21 points
Ingram logged 21 points (8-22 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal across 38 minutes Friday during a 98-97 win at Utah.
ANALYSIS
Though his 21 points were a team best, Ingram logged most of those by shooting 4-of-11 during the game's two halves. The veteran continues to have problems scoring efficiently this month. Across eight games, Ingram averaged 19.3 points and logged a 37.8 field goal percentage -- both below-average tallies compared to his usual standards.
Nov 25, 2021
Puts up game-high 26 points
Ingram accumulated 26 points (9-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 127-102 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was 12-for-44 from the field with 13 turnovers over the previous three contests, but he was efficient with his shot Wednesday and didn't turn the ball over. The 26-point effort was only the second time in six games since returning from the hip injury that Ingram has reached the 20-point mark.
Nov 22, 2021
Struggles shooting the ball in loss
Ingram recorded nine points (2-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one block across 37 minutes during Monday's 110-96 loss to Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Ingram couldn't hit the side of a barn as the Pelicans were soundly defeated Monday. It's been an uninspiring start to the season for Ingram, although, given the state of things in New Orleans, it's tough to blame him. He is easily the number one option on offense right now, and so the fantasy value will continue to roll in. With that being said, fantasy managers may have to temper their expectations slightly, based on what we have seen thus far.
Nov 20, 2021
Logs contrasting double-double
Ingram logged 17 points (6-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 12 rebounds and five assists across 39 minutes during a 94-81 win Friday against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Ingram's point tally was his season worst. He logged fewer than 20 points during three of four matchups since returning from a hip injury. However, Ingram's season-best 12 boards helped improve his rebound average to 6.8 -- a career-best if maintained -- across 10 games.
Nov 17, 2021
Scores quiet 19 in loss
Ingram had 19 points (6-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five assists and four rebounds in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 113-98 loss at Miami.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was without a minutes restriction Wednesday and played a healthy 37 minutes, but he attempted a season-low 14 shots. In three games since returning from the hip injury he's averaged 23.0 points, 4.3 assists and 4.0 rebounds 32.7 minutes.
Nov 17, 2021
Off minutes limit
Ingram is no longer on a minutes limit ahead of Wednesday's game against the Heat, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram had a light limit over the past two games, finishing with 29 and 32 minutes played, respectively. Before his injury, he was seeing 37.0 minutes per game with averages of 25.0 points, 7.3 rebounds and 4.8 assists.
Nov 15, 2021
Leads team with 31 points
Ingram ended Monday's loss to the Wizards with 31 points (9-23 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 11-12 FT), five rebounds and four assists across 32 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Ingram appears to be nearing full strength since missing time with a hip injury. The forward led the Pelicans with a new season high offensively, as it was his second time this year reaching the 30-point mark. Ingram also helped the Pelicans off the glass and in assists during Monday's loss. Ingram has posted at least 24 points, five rebounds and four assists in four games this year.
Nov 15, 2021
Remains on minutes restriction
Ingram will have an undisclosed minutes restriction in Monday's game against the Wizards, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was also on a minutes restriction in his return to the court Saturday and played 29 minutes against Memphis. Although coach Willie Green thinks Ingram will be handle a few more minutes Monday, he'll continue to be monitored following his absence due to a hip injury.
Nov 13, 2021
Goes for 19 points in return
Ingram finished with 19 points (7-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four assists, three rebounds and one block in 29 minutes during Saturday's 112-101 victory over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Ingram returned to the court after missing seven straight games with a hip injury, logging 29 minutes in the win. While there were signs of rust, his presence on the floor made a noticeable difference. With Zion Williamson (foot) likely to be on the shelf for at least another few weeks, Ingram should remain the go-to option on offense moving forward.
Nov 13, 2021
Available vs. Grizzlies
Ingram (hip) is available against the Grizzlies on Saturday, according to Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
A hip bruise forced Ingram to sit out two weeks of Pelicans games. Though they may not do so immediately, fantasy managers will benefit from the forward's best talent soon more than before. Zion Williamson is sitting out about one additional month of matchups due to his ongoing foot injury. Ingram averaged 25.0 points and 7.3 rebounds across six October games during Williamson's absence.
Nov 13, 2021
Questionable Saturday
Ingram (hip) is questionable Saturday against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Ingram is seemingly on the verge of a return, and that could come against the Grizzlies. If he plays, there's a chance he'll be on a minutes limit.
Nov 12, 2021
Unavailable Friday
Ingram (hip) is out for Friday's game against Brooklyn, Daniel Sallerson of the Pelicans Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram logged a full practice Thursday but will be held out of game action for a seventh consecutive matchup. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Saturday's contest against the Grizzlies.
Nov 11, 2021
Questionable again Friday
Ingram (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Nets, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was able to participate in a full practice Thursday, so he certainly appears to be closing in on his return to game action. It's a back-to-back set for the Pelicans with a game versus Memphis set for Saturday, so even if the 24-year-old is out again Friday he could still retake the court this weekend.
Nov 11, 2021
Goes through full practice
Ingram (hip) participated in a full 5-on-5 during Thursday's practice, and coach Willie Green said things are looking "promising" for a return soon, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram remains day-to-day ahead of Friday's contest against the Nets, but this development is a great sign for fantasy managers that have been wondering about Ingram's recovery. Even if he doesn't take the court Friday, it seems likely he'll be playable in Week 5.
Nov 10, 2021
Won't play Wednesday
Ingram (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was considered questionable for Wednesday's contest but will end up missing his sixth straight game. Josh Hart is likely to receive another start in his continued absence.
Nov 9, 2021
Questionable for Wednesday
Ingram (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Ingram seems to be on the verge of a return, as he continues to be listed as questionable, though updates on his progress have been few and far between. It's possible he'll be on a minutes limit when he finally steps back on the court.
Nov 8, 2021
Officially out
Ingram (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Mavericks, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was initially listed as questionable due to a right bruised hip, and he's now set to miss his fifth consecutive contest. His next opportunity to return arrives Wednesday against Oklahoma City. Josh Hart has made two straight starts in Ingram's absence.
Nov 7, 2021
Listed as questionable again
Ingram (hit) is questionable for Monday's game against Dallas, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has missed four consecutive games due to a hip contusion and his final status will likely come down to pregame warmups. The 24-year-old forward was averaging 25 points, 7.3 rebounds and 4.8 assists in 37 minutes per game before getting injured.
Nov 5, 2021
Out again
Ingram (hip) will remain sidelined for Friday's game against the Warriors, Pelicans' broadcaster Erin Summers reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram's absence will be his fourth straight game missed due to a bruised hip. As a result, Josh Hart will presumably be in line for another start. The star forward's next opportunity to return will come in Monday's matchup with the Mavericks.
Nov 4, 2021
Officially questionable
Ingram (hip) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has missed each of the last three games due to a hip contusion but has a shot to finally return Friday. A clearer update on his final status should likely come ahead of tip-off. If active, Ingram should immediately slot back into the starting unit in place of Josh Hart.
Nov 3, 2021
Out Wednesday
Ingram (hip) will not play Wednesday against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Ingram will miss a third consecutive game with a hip contusion. With Herbert Jones also out, Naji Marshall will likely see an extended role as well as Josh Hart. Ingram will have another chance to return to the court Friday against the Warriors
Nov 3, 2021
Questionable against Sacramento
Ingram (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has missed the last two games due to a bruised right hip but has a chance to return in the second half of a back-to-back set Wednesday. If he's held out again, Josh Hart will likely start for the Pelicans.
Nov 2, 2021
Out vs. Suns
Ingram (hip) is out for Tuesday's matchup against the Suns, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Ingram will be sidelined for a second straight game due to a bruised right hip. Josh Hart is likely to start again.
Nov 2, 2021
Expected to sit out Tuesday
Ingram (hip) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Suns, Pelicans studio host Daniel Sallerson reports.
ANALYSIS
This is a step in the wrong direction for Ingram, who was origianally listed as questionable coming into the day. It looks like he's on course to miss a second straight game due to a bruised right hip, which would likely clear the way for Herbert Jones to make another start on the wing.
Nov 1, 2021
Questionable for Tuesday
Ingram (hip) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Suns, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Willie Green said Monday Ingram was sore and considered day-to-day after sitting out Saturday's matchup with the Knicks, and he may be able to retake the court Tuesday. Devonte' Graham (groin) and Garrett Temple (ankle) are also questionable, so New Orleans' depth could be tested, especially with Zion Williamson (foot) already sidelined.
Nov 1, 2021
Considered day-to-day
Coach Willie Green said Monday that Ingram (hip) is still sore, and he should be considered day-to-day, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram missed his first game of the year Saturday and may be sidelined longer, as he doesn't appear to be fully healthy heading into Pelicans' back-to-back that starts Tuesday. Herbert Jones and Josh Hart will likely both see increased minutes if Ingram is ruled out for an extended period.
Oct 30, 2021
Out Saturday
Ingram (hip) is out Saturday against the Knicks, Daniel Sallerson of the Pelicans Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Ingram will miss his first game of the season with a bruised right hip. Josh Hart, Herbert Jones and Naji Marshall are candidates to see increased minutes.
Oct 30, 2021
Doubtful vs. New York
Ingram is doubtful for Saturday's contest against the Knicks due to a right hip bruise.
ANALYSIS
Ingram is set to miss his first game of the year Saturday, which leaves the Pelicans extremely shorthanded when factoring in Zion Williamson's (foot) absence. Assuming Ingram is sidelined, Josh Hart, Herbert Jones and Naji Marshall should see more minutes.
Oct 30, 2021
Strong effort in loss
Ingram delivered 22 points (9-22 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds and six assists across 36 minutes in Friday's loss to Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has scored at least 20 points and has grabbed at least six rebounds in every game so far, and he has dished out at least four dimes in all but one of his contests as well. The star forward is enjoying a higher usage rage with Zion Williamson (foot) sidelined, and he's posting strong numbers across the board as the Pelicans' main scoring and playmaking threat.
Oct 27, 2021
Strong line in close loss
Ingram finished Wednesday's loss to Atlanta with 20 points (8-21 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, two blocks and a steal.
ANALYSIS
While the Zion Williamson-less Pelicans dropped to 1-4, Ingram once again provided fantasy managers with plenty of value in his game-high 39 minutes of action. The Duke product has now scored at least 20 points in all five games, and he has at least three made three-pointers in three straight.
Oct 26, 2021
Clutch shooting in Monday's win
Ingram totaled 27 points (11-21 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds and one assist in 36 minutes during Monday's 107-98 victory over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Ingram delivered for the Pelicans as they edged out the Timberwolves, recording their first win of the season. Despite a lack of defensive stats, Ingram still managed to walk away with an impressive fantasy line, including a number of key baskets down the stretch. While the outlook for the Pelicans is far from immaculate, Ingram looks set for another elite fantasy season.
Oct 23, 2021
Scores game-high 30 points in loss
Ingram totaled 30 points (12-23 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal in 40 minutes during Saturday's 96-89 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Ingram continues to do everything he can to earn the Pelicans their first win of the season, but alas, it was once again fruitless. He is simply getting very little help on the offensive end, something that will need to be rectified before they quickly fall out of playoff contention. The Pelicans will face off against the Timberwolves again Monday and perhaps this loss will serve as ammunition for a revenge game.
Oct 23, 2021
Continues spearheading Pels
Ingram recorded 26 points (10-20 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds and eight assists across 34 minutes during a 128-112 loss Friday at Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was the Pelicans' primary scorer, rebounder and distributor Friday. He will maximize his tallies related to those statistical categories while Zion Williamson (foot) remains unavailable.
Oct 21, 2021
Carries New Orleans in loss
Ingram recorded 25 points (12-26 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, six assists and a block across 37 minutes in Wednesday's loss against the Sixers.
ANALYSIS
The Pelicans might have lost the season opener by 20 points, but Ingram posted a strong performance and contributed on both ends of the court. The six-year veteran has averaged 23.8 points per game in each of his last two seasons and while that might be a floor for him, he could handle a larger role on offense -- and thus boost those numbers -- while Zion Williamson (foot) is out. Until the former Duke standout is back to return, Ingram should be the undisputed go-to player for the Pelicans on offense.
Oct 19, 2021
Good to go for opener
Ingram (knee) will be available for Wednesday's season opener against the 76ers, Andrew Lopez of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was dealing with a knee issue at the end of the Pelicans' preseason schedule, but he's not listed on the injury report and was able to go through a full practice Tuesday. Coach Willie Green told the media he anticipates having his entire roster, with the exception of Zion Williamson (foot), available Wednesday night.
Oct 13, 2021
Expected to be ready for opener
Ingram (knee) practiced Wednesday and is expected to be ready for the regular-season opener Oct. 20 against the 76ers, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram injured his knee in the preseason opener and hasn't played since, but he'll presumably be available for the regular-season opener. That's great news for the Pelicans, as it still remains unclear if Zion Williamson (foot) will be ready for opening night.
Oct 10, 2021
Out Monday
Ingram will be unavailable for Monday's preseason game at Utah, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram's knee injury will force him out for the final Pelicans preseason game this year. Head coach Willie Green did mention he thinks Ingram will be ready to go for the season opener against the 76ers on Oct. 20.
Oct 8, 2021
Out Friday
Ingram (knee) has been ruled out of Friday's preseason contest against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Ingram first injured his knee in the Pelicans' preseason opener and he has since missed the team's only other preseason game. Expect Josh Hart and Trey Murphy to fill in for the injured 24-year-old.
Oct 7, 2021
Questionable Friday
Ingram (knee) is questionable for Friday's preseason game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was held out of Wednesday's matchup against Orlando after he sustained a right knee contusion in Monday's preseason opener. He has a chance to return Friday, but Josh Hart and Trey Murphy should see increased run if the 24-year-old remains out.
Oct 6, 2021
Unavailable Wednesday
Ingram (knee) won't play in Wednesday's preseason contest against the Magic, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram bumped knees with a player during the Pelicans' preseason opener Monday and has developed a right knee contusion. The 24-year-old participated in shootaround Wednesday morning and it appears that New Orleans is just being cautious with their star forward. Ingram's next chance to play will be Friday against the Bulls.
May 14, 2021
Remains out Friday
Ingram (ankle) won't play in Friday's game against Golden State, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram continues to deal with a left ankle sprain and will thus remain out for a fifth consecutive matchup. Expect Naji Marshall to start and play significant minutes once again.
May 13, 2021
Questionable Friday
Ingram (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against Golden State, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has missed the last four games, but he still has a chance to play Friday. If he does suit up, he could be looking at a heavy workload with several key New Orleans players on the sidelines.
May 12, 2021
Out Wednesday
Ingram (ankle) remains out Wednesday against the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
As expected, a sprained left ankle will keep Ingram out for a fourth straight game. Lonzo Ball (thumb), Zion Williamson (finger), Steven Adams (toe) and Josh Hart (thumb) remain out as well, so New Orleans will be quite shorthanded. Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Kira Lewis should see extra run.
May 11, 2021
Likely unavailable Wednesday
Ingram (ankle) is doubtful for Wednesday's game at Dallas.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old has missed the past three games with a sprained left ankle, and his absence is expected to continue Wednesday. Zion Williamson (finger) remains sidelined, so Naji Marshal and James Johnson should receive their fourth straight start with Ingram likely out again.
May 10, 2021
Out again Monday
Ingram (ankle) will remain out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
A sprained left ankle will sideline Ingram for the third straight game, and with Zion Williamson (finger) and Steven Adams (toe) also out, the Pels will once again be without their entire starting froncrourt. Naji Marshall and James Johnson have started the last two games at forward, while Willy Hernangomez has filled in for Adams at the five.
May 9, 2021
Out vs. Hornets
Ingram (ankle) will not play in Sunday's game against the Hornets, Jim Eichenhofer of Pelicans.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was held out of Friday's loss to the Sixers with a sprained left ankle, and it never seemed like he had much of a chance to take the court Sunday. With the Pelicans entering a back-to-back, it's very possible Ingram remains out for Monday's game at Memphis.
May 8, 2021
Unlikely to play vs. Hornets
Ingram (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday's contest against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Ingram is still recovering from a sprained left ankle and is expected to miss a second straight game. In his presumed absence, Naji Marshall should start again.
May 5, 2021
Out Friday, day-to-day
Ingram will miss Friday's game against the 76er's with a left ankle sprain, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram had an MRI done Wednesday which diagnosed him with a left low ankle sprain. The forward's injury will give James Johnson, Naji Marshall and James Nunnally additional playing time against the 76ers. With Ingram out, the Pelicans will look for more production offensively from Lonzo Ball and Zion Williamson.
May 4, 2021
Out for rest of game
Ingram is out for the remainder of Tuesday's game against the Warriors due to a left ankle sprain, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram will finish Tuesday's game with a line of 13 points (5-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt), five assists, three rebounds and two steals in 25 minutes. The Pelicans' next game is Friday against the 76ers, so he has some time to recover.
May 3, 2021
Scores 19 points in loss
Ingram accumulated 19 points (5-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), four assists and two rebounds in 35 minutes during Monday's 123-108 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old has been held under 20 points over his last two games, a span in which he's averaging 16.5 points, 5.0 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.5 three-pointers. Before Monday's game, Ingram was averaging a career-high 24.0 points and 4.9 assists along with 5.0 rebounds and 2.4 three-pointers through 59 games. The fifth-year forward will look to get back on track Tuesday at home against the Warriors.
Apr 30, 2021
Excels again with 24 points
Ingram compiled 24 points (10-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT, six rebounds, three assists and a steal across 31 minutes in Thursday's 109-95 win over the Thunder
ANALYSIS
Ingram's numbers have been very consistent this month, and he's averaged a healthy 25.7 points, 5.5 assists, and 5.4 rebounds since returning from a five-game absence. The stellar play of teammate Zion Williamson has cemented Ingram as the second-best fantasy option on the squad. Still, Ingram and Williamson are viable stacking candidates in DFS contests, as they can rack up numbers independently without too much correlation.
Apr 29, 2021
Scores team-high 27 points
Ingram recorded 27 points (11-22 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and five assists across 35 minutes in Wednesday's loss against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Ingram had experienced a few rough shooting performances over the last few games, but he bounced back here and delivered strong numbers across the board to carry the Pelicans in this loss. Perhaps the lone negative point of his performance was the fact that he committed six turnovers, but that shouldn't be much of an issue considering his contributions in other categories, particularly the scoring column.
Apr 25, 2021
Scores 24 points in loss
Ingram registered 24 points (9-21 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds and six assists across 35 minutes in Saturday's loss against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Ingram didn't shoot the ball particularly well in this one but still found a way to reach the 20-point plateau, something he's done in all but one of his last seven games. Firmly entrenched as New Orleans' second-best scoring option behind Zion Williamson, he's averaging 27.8 points per game during that eight-game stretch.
Apr 22, 2021
Scores game-high 29 points
Ingram tallied 29 points (11-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six assists and three rebounds in 29 minutes during Thursday's 135-100 win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old has now delivered two efficient games in a row since going 6-of-18 from the floor Sunday against the Knicks, a span in which he's averaging 28.0 points, 5.5 assists and 3.5 rebounds while shooting 61.8 percent from the field. Ingram is averaging career highs in points (24.3) and assists (4.8) through 54 games this season. The fifth-year forward will look to keep it rolling Saturday at home against the Spurs.
Apr 21, 2021
Solid stat line despite loss
Ingram had 27 points (10-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five assists and four rebounds across 32 minutes in Tuesday's loss against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Ingram ended as the Pelicans' second-best scorer behind Zion Williamson, who finished with 33 points, but the small forward had a strong effort across the board with contributions on both assists and rebounds as well. The star forward has scored at least 25 points in five of his last six games and seems to have gotten back to his best shape after missing five contests at the beginning of the month due to a sore right toe.
Apr 17, 2021
Monster effort in OT loss
Ingram scored 34 points (12-27 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT) to go with seven rebounds, five assists and four steals in Friday's overtime loss to the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Ingram led the way for the Pelicans, as he and Zion Williamson (21 points) were the only two players to score at least 20 points. The Duke product has now put up 27, 34, 28 and 34 over his last four contests, while chipping in 6.8 assists per contest in that stretch.
Apr 15, 2021
Scores team-high 28 points
Ingram notched 28 points (9-22 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-8 FT), seven assists, three rebounds and a steal across 36 minutes in Wednesday's loss against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Ingram didn't have his best shooting performance, as he made just 41 percent of his field-goal attempts and 33 percent from three-point range in this game. The star forward has surpassed the 25-point mark in four of his last five games, but his shooting woes remain a concern that will continue to slightly limit his upside -- which is already quite high -- going forward.
Apr 12, 2021
Scores 34 in win
Ingram scored 34 points (11-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 9-10 FT) to go along with seven assists, six rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 33 minutes in Monday's win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
After shooting 33.3 percent from the field in his first two games back from a toe injury, Ingram found his shot once again. He also earned double-digit trips to the free-throw line for the eighth time this season to add to his big night. Ingram's counting stats were also excellent, particularly defensively, and he's now recorded four steals in three games since his return.
Apr 11, 2021
Scores 27 with eight dimes
Ingram registered 27 points (8-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 8-8 FT), eight assists, four rebounds and one steal in 35 minutes during Sunday's win over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old bounced back shooting-wise after hitting just 5-of-21 shots Friday to hit 8-of-18 shots while also going a perfect 8-of-8 from the charity stripe. Before Sunday's game, Ingram had only reached the 20-point mark in one out of his previous four games, so the fifth-year forward will look to build on Sunday's bounce-back performance Monday at home against the Kings.
Apr 10, 2021
Struggles from field in return
Ingram delivered 17 points (5-21 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals across 35 minutes in Friday's win over the Sixers.
ANALYSIS
Ingram returned from a five-game absence Friday and while he ended as the Pelicans' second-best scorer behind Zion Williamson, he struggled massively from the floor and needed 21 shots to record 17 points. While Ingram remains an elite scorer when he's at his best, it's worth noting he hasn't reached the 20-point mark in three of his last four games while losing the role of New Orleans' go-to player on offense in recent weeks due to the scoring exploits of Williamson.
Apr 9, 2021
Available Friday
Ingram (toe) is available for Friday's game against the 76ers, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram had missed the last five games due to a sore right toe. It's not yet clear whether he'll have any restrictions in his first game back on the court, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him rejoin the starting lineup against Philadelphia.
Apr 8, 2021
Uncertain for Friday's game
Ingram (toe) is questionable for Friday's game against the 76ers, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has been sidelined for the last five games while dealing with right toe soreness, but he'll have a chance to return for Friday's game. James Johnson would likely be sent back to the bench if Ingram is able to return.
Apr 7, 2021
Out again Wednesday
Ingram (toe) will remain out for Wednesday's game against the Nets, Andrew Lopez of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was questionable coming into the day, but he'll ultimately miss a fifth consecutive game as the Pelicans play on the second night of a back-to-back. James Johnson has started the last four games in Ingram's place.
Apr 7, 2021
Listed questionable Wednesday
Ingram (toe) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
A toe injury cost Ingram his fourth straight game Tuesday night in Atlanta, but there's some hope that he'll be able to return on the second night of the back-to-back set. The Pelicans will likely monitor his status throughout the day before making a decision closer to the 7:30 PM ET tip.
Apr 6, 2021
Downgraded to doubtful
Ingram (toe) is unlikely to play Tuesday against the Heat, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was initially deemed questionable, but he's still not feeling healthy enough to see the court. Zion Williamson (thumb) is probable, however. With Ingram unavailable, Williamson could see an expanded role.
Apr 5, 2021
Questionable again Tuesday
Ingram (toe) is considered questionable for Tuesday's game at Atlanta
ANALYSIS
Both Ingram and Zion Williamson (thumb) are questionable to play after missing the last three contests. The Pelicans haven't provided any real details on Ingram's toe issue, so it's very much unclear if he'll actually have a realistic chance to return Tuesday night. New Orleans also plays Wednesday night at Brooklyn.
Apr 4, 2021
Ruled out Sunday
Ingram (toe) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Rockets, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
A sore toe will keep Ingram out of a third straight game, and the Pels will also be without both Zion Williamson (thumb) and Josh Hart (thumb). Ingram should be considered day-to-day as Tuesday's game at Atlanta approaches.
Apr 3, 2021
Questionable vs. Rockets
Ingram (toe) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has missed two consecutive games due to a toe injury. Zion Williamson (thumb) and Lonzo Ball (hip) are also questionable, so the Pelicans could once again be very shorthanded Sunday. More information should arrive closer to tipoff.
Apr 2, 2021
Out Friday
Ingram (toe) is out Friday against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
The Pelicans are down Ingram, Lonzo Ball (hip), Zion Williamson (thumb) and Josh Hart (thumb) for Friday's game. The result will likely be extra minutes for nearly everyone else on the roster. During Thursday's game, Eric Bledsoe notably saw 46 minutes.
Apr 1, 2021
Out, as expected
Ingram (toe) is out Thursday against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Ingram will miss his first game of the season Thursday, as he's dealing with right toe soreness. With Zion Williamson (thumb) also out, candidates for extra minutes include Josh Hart, Wes Iwundu, Wenyen Gabriel and James Johnson.
Apr 1, 2021
Likely to miss first game of season
Ingram (toe) is considered doubtful for Thursday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Per the Pelicans' injury report, Ingram is battling some irritation in his right big toe, and it'll likely cause him to miss his first game of the season. With Lonzo Ball (hip) and Zion Williamson (thumb) already ruled out, the Pels are set to be without their three best players, which should open the door for the likes of Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Eric Bledsoe and Josh Hart to increase their production.
Mar 29, 2021
Team-high nine dimes
Ingram totaled 25 points (7-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 8-11 FT), nine assists, one rebound and one steal over 37 minutes in Monday's win over the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Post All-Star break, Ingram has been a bit up and down. In 10 games, he's failed to top 20 points four times while also failing to connect on 45 percent of his shots in four contests. On the positive side, Ingram has three 30-point performances and four games with five or more assists.
Mar 27, 2021
Moving in right direction
Ingram had 19 points (8-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and an assist across 34 minutes in Saturday's win over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was coming off a couple of disappointing offensive performances since the league resumed following the All-Star break, but this outing against the Mavericks was certainly a step in the right direction. Ingram's upside has taken a hit due to Zion Williamson's emergence as the team's clear go-to player on offense, but Ingram remains a valuable asset and will be even more decisive when he leaves his struggles behind.
Mar 27, 2021
Struggles badly from field
Ingram had 13 points (5-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt), five assists, three rebounds and a block across 37 minutes in Friday's loss against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was coming off a 36-point performance the last time out and had scored 30 points in three of his previous four outings, but he was unable to repeat such numbers here and struggled badly from the field from start to finish. This might have been nothing more than a bump on the road for the star forward, however, who is still averaging 23.3 points per tilt in 11 appearances this month.
Mar 23, 2021
Scores season-high 36 points
Ingram recorded 36 points (14-21 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four assists and three rebounds in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 128-111 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Ingram lit it up against his former team, going for a season-high 36 points in his third 30-point game in four tries. Ingram also hit at least four triples for a ninth time this season.
Mar 21, 2021
Erupts for 30 on Sunday
Ingram scored a game-high 30 points (11-23 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT) while adding eight assists, six rebounds, two steals and a block in 36 minutes during Sunday's 113-108 win over the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
He tied Zion Williamson in scoring to lead the Pelicans to the victory, the second time in three games Ingram has hit for 30. The 23-year-old has been his usual productive self in March, averaging 23.0 points, 4.8 assists, 4.7 boards and 2.0 threes through nine games.
Mar 19, 2021
Moderate production in loss
Ingram produced 19 points (7-21 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and four assists in Thursday's 101-93 loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Ingram's numbers took a hit after a much better showing in the first game against Portland, and it was mostly due to a bit of wildness in his shot selection. Portland's defense kept him in check for most of the game, and he heaved up some low-percentage shot attempts as a result. You will beat the Pelicans if you can neutralize both Zion Willamson and Ingram at once, but after Ingram's 30 points in the first game, it was obvious that Portland elected to key in on Ingram.
Mar 17, 2021
Has rough night on the floor
Ingram produced 30 points (10-22 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 7-10 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal during 36 minutes in the 125-124 loss to Portland on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Ingram lost form on the floor during the close loss Tuesday. The forward is one of the primary producers for the Pelicans, but could not find his rhythm in the shooting department. He also does not produce too much outside of points to make up for nights like these. Nonetheless, Ingram is still one of the better forward options night in and night out and is always considered a stream. He is currently averaging 23.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.7 assists through 34.3 minutes on the season.
Mar 15, 2021
Scores 23 points in victory
Ingram finished with 23 points (7-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five assists and four rebounds over 26 minutes in a 135-115 win over the Clippers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Ingram and Zion Williamson combined to score 50 points on 20-for-28 shooting from the field, leading New Orleans to an impressive blowout over a talented Clippers squad. Ingram has been a solid all-around fantasy contributor this season with per-game averages of 23.7 points, 5.1 boards and 4.7 assists. He is also contributing 2.4 three-pointers per contest while shooting 47.8 percent from the field and 88.4 percent from the charity stripe.
Mar 12, 2021
Scores 28 points in 25 minutes
Ingram registered 28 points (11-14 FG, 3-6 3pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one block in 25 minutes during Friday's win against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Ingram followed up a stellar first half of the season with his most efficient game of the season. It was his 17th game with 25-plus points and 17th game with three-plus three-pointers this season. He was averaging 34.7 minutes per game before the All-Star break, and he should continue seeing heavy minutes with the Pelicans only four games back from a playoff spot.
Mar 5, 2021
Flirts with double-double in loss
Ingram totaled 17 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine assists, five rebounds, two steals and a blocked shot across 32 minutes in Thursday's 103-93 loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Although Ingram and Zion Williamson are both on track for career seasons, the Pelicans looked like a different squad without Williamson's contribution in Thursday's loss. Ingram couldn't compensate for his teammate's absence as they struggled on both sides of the ball. The Pelicans could only muster 29 rebounds without Zion in the lineup, and although Ingram succeeded in getting the ball to other playmakers, Jimmy Butler succeeded in limiting his offensive output.
Mar 4, 2021
Scores 21 points in 25 minutes
Ingram accumulated 21 points (8-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 128-124 loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Ingram's 25 minutes were the fewest he's seen all season. The Pelicans made a late push in the fourth quarter, scoring 45 points, but Ingram remained on the bench for much of it. Regardless, the performance marked the seventh straight game in which Ingram has scored at least 20 points. During this stretch, he's averaged 26.3 points on 49.0 percent shooting, 4.3 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 35.6 minutes.
Mar 2, 2021
Efficient 26 in victory
Ingram contributed 26 points (11-20 FG, 4-4 FT), five assists, four rebounds and one block in the Pelican's 129-124 victory over the Jazz on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has been on a scoring tear of late, scoring at least 23 points in each of his last six games. While the forward has been efficient from the field of late, making 49.2 percent of his shots over his last six games, he hasn't been consistent from three. Ingram has made just 29.3 percent from beyond the arc over that same span, which is likely why Ingram made a concerted effort to attack the paint in Monday's game as he did not attempt a three for the first time this season.
Feb 28, 2021
Scores 29 in loss
Ingram scored 29 points (11-23 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-5FT) to go along with four rebounds and five assists across 36 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Ingram scored efficiently from inside and around the paint but continued to struggle with his three-point shot. Across his last six games, he's shooting only 27.9 percent from beyond the arc, though he's still managed to score 25.2 points per contest in that span. Despite that slump, Ingram remains just as efficient as his breakout 2019-20 campaign, as he's shooting 46.9 percent from the field and 87.9 percent from the free-throw line.
Feb 26, 2021
Scores 23 in loss
Ingram had 23 points (11-25 FG, 1-10 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and four rebounds in Thursday's loss to Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
While Ingram topped 20 points for the 13th time in his last 14 games, he had a horrendous night from beyond the arc, hitting just one of his 10 attempts. Over the last five games, Ingram is a combined 10-of-36 (27.8%) from three-point range.
Feb 24, 2021
Racks up eight assists
Ingram scored 27 points (9-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT) to go along with seven rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 37 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Ingram reached at least 25 points for the third consecutive game and continued to shoot efficiently from all areas of the floor. He has been strong from the free-throw line all season and is shooting a career-best 88.1 percent across 31 contests. Ingram also chipped in across the box score, reaching eight assists for the first time since Jan. 27 and topping six rebounds for the first time in his last eight games.
Feb 21, 2021
Drops season-high 33
Ingram scored 33 points (11-22 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 6-6 FT) and added six rebounds and three assists in the Pelicans' comeback victory over the Celtics on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Ingram contributed a new season-high point total in the largest comeback in franchise history. The Pelicans trailed by as many as 24 points and Ingram's inside-out scoring was a big reason why they were able to battle their way back. The forward has been extremely consistent this season, scoring at least 20 points in all but five games. In the month of February, Ingram is averaging 23.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game.
Feb 20, 2021
Struggles from deep Friday
Ingram notched 25 points (10-20 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three assists, two rebounds and two steals across 33 minutes in Friday's loss against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Ingram bounced back from a 14-point output Wednesday against the Blazers and reached the 25-point mark for the fifth time over his last nine games. Despite his recent struggles from deep (1-8 3Pt over his last two games), Ingram has been deadly from deep and has hit 42.3 percent of his treys during that aforementioned nine-game stretch.
Feb 18, 2021
Struggles in loss to Blazers
Ingram had just 14 points (4-12 FG, 6-6 FT) to go with six assists and five rebounds in Wednesday's loss to Portland.
ANALYSIS
The Pelicans let a double-digit halftime lead slip away, as the Blazers put up 67 second-half points en route to a 126-124 victory. Ingram was held to his second-lowest scoring output of the season, and Wednesday marked only the fourth time he's failed to hit at least one three-pointer.
Feb 16, 2021
Scores 22 points in win
Ingram notched 22 points (8-13 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven assists, four rebounds, two steals and a block across 31 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Ingram committed six turnovers and looked sloppy with the ball at times, but he still posted his ninth straight contest with at least 20 points while delivering another accurate shooting performance. Ingram has been taking a backseat to Zion Williamson in terms of scoring of late, but Ingram is still averaging 24.6 points per game over his last nine appearances.
Feb 14, 2021
Puts up 26 points in loss
Ingram registered 26 points (7-19 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 9-10 FT), seven assists, four rebounds and a steal across 38 minutes in Sunday's loss against the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Ingram paced the Pelicans in scoring alongside Zion Williamson, and the former Duke star has scored 20 or more points in eight straight games. He's shot 45.3 percent from the field and has drained multiple threes in his last seven appearances as well, so he's putting the ball in the basket at a decent rate and with strong volume numbers. His role as one of New Orleans' top offensive threats alongside Williamson is not under question and that makes him a strong fantasy asset across most formats on a nightly basis.
Feb 13, 2021
Reaches 30-point mark again
Ingram delivered 30 points (11-23 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, five assists and a steal across 35 minutes in Friday's loss against the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Ingram pushed his scoring streak of games with 20 or more points to seven contests, and he has reached the 30-point plateau six times already this season -- he accomplished that feat 11 times last season but is on track to surpass that in 2020-21. Ingram is averaging 24.7 points per game over his last seven appearances and should remain one of New Orleans' go-to players on offense alongside Zion Williamson.
Feb 10, 2021
Struggles from field in loss
Ingram notched 21 points (6-19 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, four assists and a steal across 38 minutes in Wednesday's loss against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Ingram had a woeful night from the field, but the fact that he still found a way to surpass the 20-point mark says a lot about his shooting volume and his quality as a scorer. Ingram has scored 20 or more points in six straight games and continues to show why he's one of the most important offensive weapons in the Pelicans roster.
Feb 10, 2021
Scores efficiently in win
Ingram scored 22 points (9-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT) to go along with five rebounds, three assists and one block across 28 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Ingram had no trouble converting his shot on Tuesday, racking up an impressive 80.4 true shooting percentage against the poor Rockets' defense. The Pelicans expanded their lead considerably in the fourth quarter, allowing Ingram and other starters to play limited minutes and lowering his volume stats in the process. While much of his stat line has remained in line with his breakout 2019-20 campaign, Ingram has greatly increased his block rate and is now averaging 1.1 swats per game.
Feb 7, 2021
Logs double-double with four blocks
Ingram recorded 27 points (11-20 FG, 5-8 3Pt), 12 rebounds, four blocked shots and three assists across 35 minutes in Saturday's 118-109 win over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
The power duo of Ingram and Zion Williamson let it loose in an important win. The victory is notable because the team allowed their best players to do their thing and provided support when needed. An inability to establish a good offensive rhythm has caused Ingram to struggle a bit down the stretch, but the power share between him and Willamson hit the sweet spot on Saturday.
Feb 5, 2021
Drops 30 in victory
Ingram totaled 30 points (12-21 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven assists and six rebounds across 39 minutes Friday during the Pelicans' win over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
It was Ingram's fifth 30-point performance in 21 games after hitting that plateau 10 times last year across 62 games. It was also the 11th time this season that Ingram has added at least four assists and four rebounds in a game.
Feb 4, 2021
Produces 23 points Wednesday
Ingram recorded 23 points (7-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four rebounds, six assists and two blocked shots in Wednesday's win over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has recorded 20-plus points in six of his last seven contests, and he ranks second on New Orleans in scoring this season at 23.4 points per game. The fifth-year forward is producing at a near-identical rate to his All-Star campaign last season, complementing his scoring output with 2.3 three-pointers, 5.2 rebounds and 4.7 assists per contest.
Feb 2, 2021
Scores team-high 20 points
Ingram notched 20 points (6-20 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block across 36 minutes in Monday's loss against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Ingram might have paced the Pelicans with another 20-point performance -- a mark he's reached in 15 of his 19 contests this season -- but he struggled massively from the floor once again. Ingram is shooting 46 percent from the field through his last five contests, however, so all signs point to this game being an outlier rather than the norm going forward for the 23-year-old forward. He should remain the Pelicans' go-to player on offense even if he struggles from time to time.
Jan 31, 2021
Struggles in loss to Rockets
Ingram had 15 points (5-15 FG, 2-7 3PT, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and four assists in Saturday's loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Ingram struggled from the field, and his 15 points marked his second-lowest scoring total of the season. He still chipped in a decent supporting line, however, adding one steal and two blocks on the defensive end.
Jan 30, 2021
Leads Pelicans on scoreboard
Ingram recorded 28 points (7-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 11-13 FT), four assists, one steal and one block over 35 minutes in Friday's 131-126 win over the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Ingram put up a season-high 32 points Wednesday against Washington, and he followed up his performance with another effective game on the scoreboard. He was unable to haul in any rebounds with Steven Adams recording 20 boards in the win, but Ingram was still quite productive in several areas while leading the Pelicans in scoring.
Jan 28, 2021
Scores season-high 32 points
Ingram registered 32 points (12-19 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and eight assists across 36 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
This was Ingram's best scoring output of the season, and while he has already reached the 30-point mark in four contests, this was one of his most complete games of the season just yet -- he also tied his second-highest assist total of the campaign while ending just two dimes away from a double-double. Most of Ingram's value lies in what he can do as a scorer, but he has been able to fill the stat sheet on a regular basis during the current campaign.
Jan 25, 2021
Upcoming matchup postponed
Ingram won't take the court Monday night against the Spurs after the game was postponed, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
It's not yet clear which squad is dealing with COVID-19 issues, but neither team had the required eight players available to play Monday's game. The Pelicans' next scheduled matchup comes Wednesday against the Wizards.
Jan 23, 2021
Scores team-high 30 points
Ingram registered 30 points (11-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, two assists and a block across 37 minutes in Saturday's loss against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has reached the 30-point mark in three games already, and he has scored at least 20 points in 12 of his 15 appearances this season. While Ingram hasn't been the stat-stuffing machine he was in 2019-20, he is currently posting career-best marks for assists and blocks per game while scoring 23.7 points per game over his last 10 contests.
Jan 20, 2021
Scores 17 points in loss
Ingram registered 17 points (8-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 35 minutes in Tuesday's loss at Utah.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has scored fewer than 20 points just three times all season long, but two of those games have come over his last five appearances. The fact that he's routinely scored 20 or more points should give fantasy managers a clear view of his upside, as he's one of the leading scorers in the Pelicans roster and should remain a must-start player across all formats. He is averaging 22.8 points per game in 2020-21.
Jan 18, 2021
Puts up 22 points in win
Ingram had 22 points (8-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 35 minutes during Sunday's win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old also had a season-high five turnovers, and he was unable to make much of an impact beyond reaching 20 points for the third straight contest. Ingram is averaging 23.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.1 assists in 35.0 minutes through 12 games in 2020-21.
Jan 16, 2021
Tallies 20 points against ex-squad
Ingram totaled 20 points (9-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, five assists, two seals and one blocked shot across 35 minutes Friday in a loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Ingram's "revenge game" against the team that drafted and ultimately traded him was a relatively quiet one as he was held nearly four points below his season average. The All-Star forward was efficient from the field, however, making nine of his 15 attempts. Ingram has nearly matched his numbers from his breakout 2019-20 campaign thus far, posting per-game averages of 23.5 points, 6.6 rebounds and 5.5 assists.
Jan 14, 2021
Scores 22 points
Ingram scored 22 points (8-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT) while adding six rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 38 minutes in Wednesday's 111-106 loss against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Ingram had a rough day offensively and, while his scoring output might not suggest it, he struggled with his shot and took a secondary role due to Nickeil Alexander-Walker's career-best performance. Ingram didn't look as crisp as he has looked in past games but will have the chance to bounce back against the Lakers, his former team, this Friday. Ingram has scored at least 20 points in five of his last six appearances, so he is still in a good run of form, though.
Jan 11, 2021
Monday's game postponed
Monday's matchup for Ingram between the Pelicans and Mavericks has been postponed, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Contact tracing within the Mavs' roster left the team without the necessary eight players, so Monday's contest will be postponed and made up at a later date.

Solid numbers despite shooting woes
Ingram scored 17 points (3-11 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 8-9 FT) while adding eight rebounds, eight assists, one steal and one block in 36 minutes during Friday's 118-110 loss to the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
It wasn't the most efficient scoring performance, but Ingram still delivered a well-rounded fantasy line. It was only the second time in nine games this season the 23-year-old has failed to reach 20 points, while his 7.1 boards and 5.8 assists a game would both be career highs if he can maintain that pace.
Jan 6, 2021
Scores efficiently against Thunder
Ingram scored 24 points (9-15 FG, 0-2 3PT, 6-6 FT) to go along with 11 rebounds and four assists across 36 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has posted flashy scoring numbers throughout the season, though he managed impressive efficiency on Wednesday. He missed both of his shots from behind the three-point line, but was strong both from the mid-range and near the basket. Aside from the scoring, Ingram notched double-digit boards for the second time this season and has delivered four or more assists in all but two games to this point in the campaign.
Jan 5, 2021
Puts up 31 in defeat
Ingram had 31 points (12-31 FG, 1-6 3PT, 6-6 FT) and eight assists in Monday's loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
The 31 field goal attempts marked a new career-high for Ingram, who played 40 minutes in a game the Pelicans lost in overtime. While he was just 1-of-6 from deep, Ingram hit all six of his free throws and added four rebounds, two blocks and a steal.
Jan 2, 2021
Explodes for 31 points
Ingram generated 31 points (8-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 11-14 FT), six rebounds, four assists and a blocked shot across 35 minutes in Saturday's 120-116 win over the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Ingram returned to the floor after the ejection on New Year's Eve and turned in a masterful performance. The five-year pro has matured into a top-flite player during his tenure in the Big Easy, and he;'s already on his way to enjoying a career season. His 31 points on Saturday is a new season-high and his best scoring total since last February.
Dec 31, 2020
Scores 20 prior to ejection
Ingram logged 20 points (8-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block over 26 minutes in Thursday's 113-80 win over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was having a productive game against Oklahoma City on Thursday, but he was issued a questionable Flagrant 2 late in the third quarter after going for a block on Isaiah Roby. As a result, he was ejected from the game. Despite his ejection, Ingram topped 20 points for the fourth time in the first five matchups of the season and led the team in scoring during the comfortable win.
Dec 30, 2020
Modest night in blowout loss
Ingram compiled 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists and a steal across 28 minutes in Tuesday's 111-86 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Almost everything went Phoenix's way on Tuesday, and New Orleans couldn't; catch up after letting the game go in the second quarter. Ingram's reduced production didn't help matters, but the blame can't be placed solely on Ingram. the team only managed three three-pointers and shot on ly 12.5 percent from beyond the arc.
Dec 28, 2020
Records double-double
Ingram had 28 points (9-23 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists and one block in Sunday's win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Ingram's performance Sunday marked his first double-double since March 8 last season. He achieved such with additional rebounds, six of them which came in the first quarter. Ingram was inefficient with his shooting, but the 23-year-old can be forgiven if he can continue to average over 20 points while playing with Zion Williamson.
Dec 25, 2020
Goes for 28 in loss
Ingram had 28 points (7-17 FG, 4-8 3PT, 10-11 FT) and three assists in Friday's loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Coming off of a huge game in the season-opener, Ingram followed up with another strong scoring effort. He drained four threes and drained 10 free throws in 37 minutes of action. Ingram also added two rebounds.
Dec 23, 2020
Focal point of offense
Ingram scored 24 points (10-19 FG, 3-6 3PT, 1-2 FT) to go along with nine rebounds, 11 assists, three steals and one block across 37 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Ingram carried over his stat-stuffing ways from the preseason, providing numbers on both ends of the floor. He led the Pelicans in points, field-goal attempts and assists to set the tone in the victory. Ingram's three steals are also noteworthy, as he managed to match that mark on only three occasions in 62 games last season. He'll look to maintain his high level of play on Friday against the Heat.
Dec 15, 2020
Stats-a-plenty in preseason win
Ingram amassed 22 points (7-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, six assists, three steals and one block in 31 minutes during Monday's 114-92 preseason victory over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was dynamic on both ends of the floor in the win, filling the box score in an impressive performance. Coming off a breakout season, Ingram has fallen in some leagues due to the fact he ended last season with a number of subpar performances. A healthy Zion Williamson is certainly going to impact his opportunities, especially on the offensive end. That said, Ingram is still going to be a very accomplished fantasy player again this season and if you can snag him in the fourth round, he should return at least some value.
Nov 24, 2020
Receives five-year extension
Ingram and the Pelicans agreed Tuesday on a five-year, $158 million contract extension, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was a restricted free agent this offseason, but the Pelicans had every intention of matching any offer sheet that may have been presented to the 23-year-old. After passing on an extension offer from the Pelicans shortly after being traded from the Lakers last July, Ingram was able to cash in on a more lucrative long-term deal this offseason following his breakthrough All-Star season in 2019-20. Ingram posted career-high averages in points (23.8 per game), rebounds (6.1), assists (4.2), three-pointers (2.4) and steals (1.0) while hitting 85.1 percent of his free-throw attempts, a 17-point rise from 2018-19.
Aug 12, 2020
Out for finale
Ingram (knee) will not play in Thursday's game against Orlando.
ANALYSIS
The Pelicans season will come to a disappointing end Thursday, as they failed to hang around in the race for the eighth seed in the Western Conference. Ingram will conclude his breakout fourth season with averages of 23.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.0 steal, and 0.6 blocks per game.
Aug 10, 2020
Won't play Tuesday
Ingram will not play in Tuesday's game against the Kings due to a sore right knee.
ANALYSIS
It's fairly safe to assume that Ingram would be playing if the Pels had a chance to make the playoffs, but with that goal out of reach, the All-Star wing will be held out of action, as will Zion Williamson (knee) and Jrue Holiday (elbow). Keep an eye on Ingram's status for Thursday's seeding game finale against Orlando, as well.
Aug 9, 2020
Scores 17 points in loss
Ingram had 17 points (6-14 FG, 2-4 3PT, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and five assists in Sunday's loss to San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
It was a relatively quiet afternoon for Ingram, who took just 14 shots in 33 minutes of action. The Most Improved Player candidate has remained a focal point of the Pelican's offense, but he's hit fewer than 50 percent of his shots in five of six seeding games.
Aug 6, 2020
24 points in loss
Ingram posted 24 points (8-14 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Thursday's 140-125 loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Thursday marked Ingram's third 20-point game of the bubble, only dipping below that mark Aug. 1 against the Clippers. It was also the sixth time this season Ingram has scored at least 20 points on 14 or fewer field goal attempts.
Aug 3, 2020
Scores team-high 24 points in win
Ingram scored 24 points (8-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-10 FT) while adding seven rebounds, five assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Monday's 109-99 win over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was coming off an uninspiring 14-point effort against the Clippers, but he bounced back admirably in this pivotal game for New Orleans. Ingram has been one of the Pelicans' biggest offensive threats this season and should remain in that role down the stretch, even if Zion Williamson and Jrue Holiday remain healthy the rest of the way.
Jul 31, 2020
Drops team-high 23 in loss
Ingram scored 23 points (7-20 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT) while adding eight rebounds and a block in 33 minutes during Thursday's 106-104 loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old helped the Pels carve out a 12-point lead heading into halftime, but the team faded down the stretch. Ingram broke out in a big way during his first campaign in New Orleans, and there was no sign here the layoff has derailed his momentum.
Jul 27, 2020
Scores 14 in return
Ingram (face) managed 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists in 20 minutes during Monday's 124-103 scrimmage win over the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Ingram returned to the rotation after missing Saturday's scrimmage against the Nuggets following a minor dental procedure. He should be expected to give it a go during Thursday's game versus the Jazz. Moreover, Ingram is averaging an absurd 39.0 points to go along with 6.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.7 blocks across 39.0 minutes through three matchups versus Utah this season.
Jul 25, 2020
Not scrimmaging Saturday
Ingram will be sidelined for Saturday's scrimmage against the Nuggets following a minor dental procedure.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was also absent from Saturday's shootaround, but it does not sound like anything to worry about heading into Thursday's opener against the Jazz. Nicolo Melli will presumably see the most minute uptick during Saturday's scrimmage as a result of his absence.
Jul 22, 2020
Scores 12 points in limited minutes
Ingram registered 12 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 11 minutes during Wednesday's 99-68 win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was having a career year when play got suspended in March and if this scrimmage is of any indication, he is going to pick things up right where he left them off. The small forward is expected to carry a sizable role in the Pelicans offense, as New Orleans will compete for the eighth seed in the Western Conference once play resumes.
Mar 8, 2020
Double-double in win
Ingram had 15 points (6-12 FG, 0-2 3PT, 3-5 FT), 12 rebounds and seven assists in Sunday's win over Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Ingram took only 12 shots in 40 minutes, but he pulled down double-digit rebounds, while functioning as a playmaker. Ingram's seven assists tied for his most in any game since early January.
Mar 7, 2020
Late-game hero
Ingram finished with 12 points (4-20 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block in 30 minutes during the Pelicans' 110-104 victory over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
The stat line doesn't show it, but Ingram played a major role in securing the win for New Orleans. Being 2-of-17 from the field, Ingram proceeded to nail a clutch two and a contested three to keep the Pelicans in front by a bucket prior to the incessant fouling of the closing minute beginning. The fearlessness is a silver-lining on nights where Ingram can't find his stroke.
Mar 4, 2020
Decent shooting effort
Ingram delivered 24 points (9-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four assists, three rebounds and two steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 139-134 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Ingram's numbers have suffered a dip due to Zion Williamson's emergence as a reliable scoring threat, but the former Laker has still managed to top the 20-point plateau in three of his last four games. Since missing three games before the All-Star Break, Ingram has averaged 22.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game.
Mar 1, 2020
Struggles with shot in loss
Ingram contributed 15 points (5-23 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
It was a rough showing from Ingram against his former team in this one. He couldn't seem to get the lid off the basket all night, and his supporting stats weren't there either. While Ingram still holds a top 25 fantasy ranking on the season, he's fallen outside of the top 40 in nine-category leagues over the last two weeks. This has been mostly due to a slight uptick in turnovers and the lack of blocks. Although the 22-year old isn't known as an outstanding shot-blocker, he's averaged a solid 0.7 of them this season prior to this game. Unfortunately, Ingram has gone on a nine-game streak without a single block now. Outside of this rough outing, Ingram has been his dominant self, still in the midst of an exciting breakout campaign.
Feb 28, 2020
Rhythm returning
Ingram amassed 29 points (11-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven assists, six rebounds and one steal in 33 minutes during Friday's 116-104 victory over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Ingram led the Pelicans in scoring as they continue to push for a playoff spot. They now sit only two wins behind the faltering Memphis Grizzlies and the improved play of Ingram has certainly been a key factor to their success. After a hot start to the season, his production wained a little when Zion Williamson made his return to the lineup. However, in more recent times, he appears to have adjusted to having Williamson on the floor and both are putting up excellent numbers. Ingram should continue to put up third-round value moving forward, making him one arguably the most-improved player this season.
Feb 26, 2020
Team-high 34
Ingram scored 34 points (12-20 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 7-8 FT), along with seven rebounds, four assists and two steals in 37 minutes during the Pelicans' 118-109 loss to Lakers on Tuesday night. He also had seven turnovers.
ANALYSIS
Coming off of a 5-for-18 shooting night on Sunday, Ingram returned to his All-Star scoring ways. The turnover total matched Ingram's season-high, which put a dent in his DFS scoring. Nonetheless, Ingram has been a top-3 asset at the small forward position in season-long leagues.
Feb 17, 2020
Plays nine minutes in All-Star loss
Ingram compiled just two points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal in nine minutes during Sunday's 157-155 loss to Team LeBron.
ANALYSIS
Ingram barely featured Sunday as he works his way back from an ankle injury. It was not the All-Star debut he would have liked; however, the fact he was on the court at all is a real positive. Ingram had missed three straight games with his troublesome right ankle but this performance would indicate he should be ready to roll moving forward. Ingram has been a wonder this season and is currently the 14th ranked player in nine-category format. His numbers have dropped slightly since the addition of Zion Williamson but they have demonstrated the ability to co-exist and Ingram should be a solid third-round guy moving forward.
Feb 13, 2020
Officially out
Ingram (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Oklahoma City.
ANALYSIS
Ingram will miss his third straight matchup while nursing a right ankle sprain. Fortunately, he'll have the All-Star break to recover before his team takes the court next. Josh Hart draws the start at small forward in Ingram's place.
Feb 13, 2020
Not in starting five
Ingram (ankle) isn't starting Thursday's game against Oklahoma City, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was deemed questionable due to a right ankle issue, and it's not a good sign that he's absent from the starting five. The team has yet to rule him out for the clash, so it's still possible that he'll be available off the bench, though a final decision on Ingram's availability will come closer to tip.
Feb 13, 2020
Game-time decision Thursday
Ingram (ankle) will be a game-time call for Thursday's game against the Thunder, Scott Kushner of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram noted his ankle is still "a bit sore," and he'll test things out during pregame activities before a decision is made on his availability. If he's sidelined, extra usage should funnel to Zion Williamson and Jrue Holiday, while J.J. Redick and Nicolo Melli could see increased minutes.
Feb 12, 2020
Questionable for Thursday
Ingram (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has missed the past two games due to a sprained right ankle, but he was able to participate in shooting drills and player development work Wednesday and it sounds like he could return for the team's final game before the All-Star break. With the extended break looming, the Pelicans could play it safe with Ingram and keep him sidelined. Look for his status to clear up closer to tip-off.
Feb 11, 2020
Out Tuesday
Ingram (ankle) was ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was officially questionable with the ankle sprain but won't be available for Tuesday's contest after sitting out Monday's practice. Josh Hart will enter the starting lineup for the Pelicans.
Feb 10, 2020
Doens't practice Monday
Ingram (ankle) was held out of Monday's practice, though coach Alvin Gentry remained "hopeful" that he'd play in Tuesday's contest with Portland, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
While his inability to practice was worrying, it doesn't appear that Ingram's official status has changed much over the weekend. He was held out of Saturday's win over Indiana after suffering a right ankle sprain during Thursday's win over Chicago. At this point, there's a reasonable chance that Ingram's official availability will boil down to how well he handles pregame drills tomorrow.
Feb 8, 2020
Won't play Saturday
Ingram (ankle) was ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pacers, Scott Agness of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was downgraded to doubtful from questionable earlier Saturday, so it's not a surprise he won't be suiting up at Indiana. The 22-year-old will now have a couple extra days to rest up for Tuesday's matchup with the Trail Blazers. According to Will Guillory of The Athletic, Josh Hart is likely to enter the starting lineup Saturday.
Feb 8, 2020
Downgraded to doubtful
Ingram (ankle) is "probably doubtful" for Saturday's game against the Pacers according to coach Alvin Gentry, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Although it appears unlikely that Ingram will take the court, his final status will hinge on how well his sprained ankle responds to both treatment and pregame warmups. If he's held out, Josh Hart, J.J. Redick and E'Twaun Moore are all candidates for increased run.
Feb 7, 2020
Questionable Saturday
Ingram (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pacers, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram is dealing with a sprained ankle, of which X-rays returned negative. Still, it's possible he misses Saturday's contest. If that ends up being the case, Josh Hart, J.J. Redick and E'Twaun Moore are all candidates to see expanded roles.
Feb 7, 2020
X-rays return negative
Ingram was diagnosed with a right ankle sprain after X-rays came back negative Thursday, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old picked up the injury during Thursday's win over the Bulls and was limited to 15 points, three rebounds, five assists and two steals in 21 minutes. Ingram will undergo treatment Friday and his availability for Saturday's game at Indiana remains up in the air, but the team apparently doesn't view the injury as a significant issue.
Feb 7, 2020
Solid in win
Ingram supplied 15 points (5-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five assists, three rebounds and two steals during the Pelicans' 125-119 Thursday night victory against Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Ingram had modest contributions, with 10 shots matching his fewest attempts since early December. The line is modest due to Ingram's lofty standards. The Duke product is averaging 24.9 points per game and his a top-3 asset at the small forward position.
Feb 6, 2020
Shut done for night
Ingram won't return to Thursday's game against the Bulls due to a right ankle sprain, Jennifer Hale of Fox Sports New Orleans reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram attempted to play through the injury in the first half, but the team has since ruled him out for the second half. Josh Hart and JJ Redick will be in line for more minutes at small forward the rest of the night.
Feb 5, 2020
Erupts for 32 in loss
Ingram scored a team-high 32 points (12-19 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT) while adding seven rebounds, two steals, an assist and a block in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 120-108 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Impressively, Ingram nearly kept pace with Giannis Antetokounmpo in the scoring department on the night, although his overall contributions couldn't match the reigning MVP. Ingram has scored 20 or more points in four straight games, and over his last 10 the fourth-year forward is averaging a dynamic 25.0 points, 5.4 boards, 4.2 assists and 2.6 threes.
Feb 2, 2020
Scores 28, grabs 12 boards
Ingram managed 28 points (10-23 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds and three assists in 38 minutes during Sunday's 117-109 loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Ingram faded late, struggling offensively down the stretch while amassing more turnovers (four) than assists. Still, he recorded his eighth double-double through 45 appearances this season, equaling his total from his first three years combined.
Feb 1, 2020
Fills stat sheet in limited minutes
Ingram went for 20 points (6-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal in only 24 minutes during Friday's 139-111 win over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Ingram's numbers have decreased slightly since Zion Williamson's debut, as the All-Star forward has averaged 19.0 points, 4.0 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.0 steals per game in his last five games. That's a considerable drop-off since Ingram was averaging 26.8 points, 6.0 assists and 5.8 rebounds per game previous to Zion's debut. Ingram should continue as the Pelicans' main scoring threat moving forward, but it's not realistic to expect the same scoring outputs he posted during November and December.
Jan 28, 2020
Scores 24 in efficient fashion
Ingram put up 24 points (9-13 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists, two steals and one rebound in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 125-111 win over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was extraordinarily efficient offensively, canning all four of his attempts from beyond the arc while recording twice as many dimes as turnovers. He had struggled in the first three games with Zion Williamson in the lineup, but a matchup versus the lowly Cavaliers helped get Ingram back on track. The 22-year-old forward will look to build on this strong effort heading into Friday's matchup versus a Grizzlies team that's competing with the Pelicans for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
Jan 21, 2020
Poor shooting in strong outing
Ingram had 25 points (6-14 FG, 2-6 3PT, 11-12 FT), six assists, four rebounds and two blocks in 35 minutes during Monday's 126-116 win at Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Ingram might have topped the 20-point mark for the sixth time in his last seven games, but his shot has been slightly inconsistent of late. That said, he is still producing at a high level and the fact that he has dished out five or more assists in each of those seven contests should boost his upside even more. He is averaging 29.0 points, 6.9 assists and 6.3 rebounds per game during that seven-game stretch.
Jan 19, 2020
Hits for 21 in loss
Ingram scored 21 points (7-18 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-7 FT) while adding seven rebounds, six assists and a steal in 41 minutes during Saturday's 133-130 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old didn't come close to matching the career-high 49 he erupted for Thursday, but Ingram still put together an impressive performance. He's scored at least 20 points in nine of his last 11 games while recording at least five boards and assists in six of them, averaging 27.1 points, 6.0 boards, 5.5 assists, 3.3 threes, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks over that stretch.
Jan 17, 2020
Scores career-high 49 points
Ingram (knee) scored a career-high 49 points (15-25 FG, 3-8 3PT, 16-20 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one block in 41 minutes during Thursday's 138-132 overtime win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Ingram missed the Pelicans' previous game against the Pistons on Jan. 13, but he came back stronger than ever to deliver the best scoring output of his NBA career thus far. The former Lakers wing has undoubtedly emerged as the Pelicans' main scoring threat, and he has scored 28 or more points in four of his last five outings. Providing he remains healthy, he should remain an elite fantasy asset in most formats due to his role as New Orleans' go-to guy on offense. He is posting career-high numbers in minutes, points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks per games, as well as career-best figures in both free-throw and three-point percentages.
Jan 15, 2020
Probable for Thursday
Ingram (knee) is probable for Thursday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Right knee soreness prevented Ingram from participating in Monday's 117-110 win over the Pistons, but he should be able to play Thursday. This month, he's averaging 24.3 points, 6.0 assists, 5.5 rebounds, 1.0 steal and 1.0 block.
Jan 13, 2020
Officially out
Ingram (knee) won't play Monday against Detroit.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Ingram won't take the court due to a right knee injury. With Kenrich Williams (back) also out, Nicolo Melli could draw the start at power forward.
Jan 13, 2020
Likely out Monday
Ingram (knee) will likely be out for Monday's contest against Detroit, Daniel Sallerson of the Pelicans Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Alvin Gentry stated that Ingram is "more than likely" to be sidelined versus the Pistons on Tuesday after experiencing right knee soreness following the Pelicans' loss against the Celtics on Sunday. Ingram's absence will likely propel Nicolo Melli into the starting lineup Tuesday and could see an increased role.
Jan 13, 2020
Added to injury report
Ingram is considered questionable for Monday's game against Detroit due to soreness in his right knee.
ANALYSIS
Ingram emerged from Saturday's loss to Boston with some soreness in his right knee, though it's unclear how severe the issue is. In the event he's held out, Nicolo Melli could expect to see an uptick in minutes.
Jan 11, 2020
Pops for 28 in win
Ingram scored a game-high 28 points (11-18 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT) while adding nine assists, six rebounds and a steal in 39 minutes during Friday's 123-111 win over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old continues to light it up. Ingram has dropped 20 or more in 14 of the last 16 games, averaging 26.3 points, 6.7 boards, 4.4 assists, 2.8 threes and 1.2 steals over that stretch. It remains to be seen what the Pels' offense will look like once Zion Williamson (knee) joins the fray, but Ingram figures to remain a key part of it.
Jan 10, 2020
Off injury report
Ingram (finger) will play Friday against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Ingram sprained his right pinky finger during Wednesday's contest, but the team has since been cleared to run the floor. He'll start and log 30-plus minutes Friday evening, barring injury.
Jan 8, 2020
Suffers right pinky sprain
Ingram sprained his right pinky during Wednesday's 123-108 dismantling of the Bulls, Scott Kushner of The New Orleans Advocate reports.
ANALYSIS
The injury isn't overly serious as X Rays taken on the sprained pinky ruled out any structural damage. Moreover, Ingram was able to play through the issue as he posted 29 points (7-19 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 11-12 FT), a career-high 11 assists, eight rebounds and two blocks in 38 minutes of run. Although unlikely, there's a chance that Ingram's finger will tighten up over the coming days, making an absence for Friday's tilt with the Knicks not out of the question.
Nov 19, 2019
Cleared to play
Ingram (knee) will play Tuesday against Portland.
ANALYSIS
Ingram was listed as a game-time decision due to right knee soreness, but after missing the last four contests, he's expected back Tuesday evening. He should slot right back into the starting lineup upon his return. The Duke product is averaging 25.9 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.9 assists over nine starts this season.
Nov 18, 2019
Game-time call Tuesday
Ingram (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Portland.
ANALYSIS
Ingram has been held out of the last four contests due to a right knee injury, and his availability for Tuesday's matchup remains up in the air. He'll likely need to prove his health in pregame warmups to receive the green light.

Out again Sunday
Ingram (knee) will not play Sunday against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Ingram will miss a fourth straight game with a sore right knee. He was out on the floor in pregame getting shots up and moving around, but he was sporting a sleeve on his knee, and the team ultimately decided that holding him out for at least one more game is the best course of action.

Initially labeled probable heading into Saturday's eventual loss to the Heat, Ingram ended up being ruled out for the contest due to the sore right knee.

Game-time call Thursday
Ingram (knee) will be a game-time decision for Thursday's contest against the Clippers, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ingram missed the Pelicans' most recent contest against Houston on Monday due to knee soreness but is on the right track to return Thursday after an MRI revealed no ligament damage in his knee. If Ingram is held out again though versus the Clippers, Kenrich Williams and Nicolo Melli may see an extended run Thursday.

ANALYSIS
Ingram was sent for a precautionary MRI on Tuesday after experiencing soreness in his right knee, but the issue appears to be nothing more than that.

The team monitored Ingram again Sunday, but with no concussion symptoms surfacing, he received clearance for Monday.
