Raptors Brandon Ingram Cleared for Full-Court Practice in Summer League

News summary

The Toronto Raptors have received encouraging news regarding Brandon Ingram's recovery from a severe ankle sprain that sidelined him for the entire 2024-25 season. Ingram, acquired from the New Orleans Pelicans at the 2025 trade deadline and signed to a three-year, $120 million extension, has now been cleared for full-court basketball activity and is participating in team workouts ahead of training camp. Raptors head coach Darko Rajaković confirmed Ingram is pain-free, moving well, and able to engage in full-contact runs, marking a significant milestone in his rehabilitation. The team had previously opted for a platelet-rich plasma injection to accelerate his recovery, which delayed his return to the summer but aims to ensure full readiness for the upcoming season. Ingram's presence is seen as pivotal for the Raptors' future success, as they view him as a foundational piece alongside Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett to help the team return to Eastern Conference contention. Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks are contending with a groin injury to forward Melvin Ajinca during the Summer League; Ajinca missed games and his status remains uncertain, though the team is optimistic about his potential impact once healthy.
