Ingram has been out since early December with a significant lower left ankle sprain, one of several injuries that has derailed the Pelicans' season. Ingram has dealt with nagging injury issues throughout his career; this season is the third time he's missed at least 30 games.
When he's on the court, however, Ingram has shown himself to be a resilient scoring option as a 6-foot-8 forward. He's averaged more than 20 points per game six times in his career to go along with a career average of more than four assists per game. His 23 points per game average in New Orleans ranks third in franchise history.
Ingram is in the last year of his maximum rookie extension he signed with New Orleans in 2020. He's set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer.
