Brandon Ingram will not participate in the Toronto Raptors’ pre-season match against the Washington Wizards. This information was confirmed by the team prior to the game. This marks the second consecutive game he has missed.
Background on Ingram’s Situation
Ingram, who is 28 years old, was acquired by the Raptors during last season’s trade deadline. However, he did not play for Toronto due to recovery from a serious ankle injury. This injury limited his appearances to just 18 games while he was with the New Orleans Pelicans.
When in form, Ingram has shown impressive statistics. He averaged 22.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 5.2 assists per game. These figures are closely aligned with his career averages of 19.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.3 assists.
Ingram’s Pre-Season Performance
Ingram was brought to the Raptors to boost their scoring capabilities. In the two pre-season exhibition games he played, he demonstrated his potential by scoring a total of 40 points in 45 minutes of play.
Upcoming Games for the Raptors
The Raptors have three remaining pre-season games. The season opener is scheduled for October 22, where they will face the Atlanta Hawks on the road.
- Ingram’s missed games: 2 consecutive
