Brandon Ingram Sidelined Indefinitely by Ankle Injury

The New Orleans Pelicans face another setback as leading scorer Brandon Ingram is out indefinitely due to a severe left ankle sprain sustained during a game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Ingram landed awkwardly while attempting a shot, leaving him with only five points in that match after a strong return from a previous injury. This season has been particularly challenging for the Pelicans, who have seen their players miss a total of 117 games due to injuries, with Ingram missing six games already. Coach Willie Green has expressed concern over Ingram's injury but provided no updates on its severity. The team was beginning to regain health, but this latest injury represents another hurdle in their challenging season. Ingram was averaging 23.2 points per game prior to his injury, highlighting his importance to the team's performance.
