In a disappointing turn of events for the Toronto Raptors, forward Brandon Ingram has been ruled out for the remainder of the season due to a lingering left ankle injury. The talented player, acquired from the New Orleans Pelicans in February, has not seen any court time for the Raptors since the trade. Despite signing a lucrative contract extension just days after joining the team, Ingram's focus is now on recovery and preparing for the upcoming summer training program.
Ingram recently underwent a platelet-rich plasma injection in his ankle after consulting with a specialist in New York City. Coach Darko Rajakovic expressed confidence in Ingram's recovery process, emphasizing that the treatment was necessary for the player's long-term health. A former No. 2 overall pick in the 2016 draft, Ingram showcased his skills in limited appearances this season, averaging impressive numbers before being sidelined. Raptors fans will eagerly await his return to full strength and presence on the court in the future.
