UPDATE: Ingram will not return to Wednesday’s game.

With 5:58 left in the second quarter of Wednesday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets, Brandon Ingram was replaced by Jamal Shead. The Raptors broadcast mentioned that Ingram took a few falls earlier in the game and he is now in the locker room with an undisclosed injury.

Prior to exiting, Ingram contributed six points, two assists and three blocks in 11 minutes of action.

Ingram has been a bastion of health this season, starting all 38 games, but he has a history of injuries causing him to miss time. Since his rookie season when he appeared in 79 games, Ingram has not played more than 64 games in any campaign and played more than 60 only two other times.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
