Pelicans' Brandon Ingram Out Indefinitely with Significant Ankle Injury

The injury compounds a devastating season for New Orleans, as the team struggles with a league-worst record and a wave of sidelined players.

Brandon Ingram suffered a high-grade low left ankle sprain during Saturday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder and will be out indefinitely.
The injury occurred when Ingram landed on Lu Dort's foot while attempting a shot; he left the game in a walking boot and on crutches.
Ingram, the Pelicans’ leading scorer this season with 22.2 points per game, had recently returned from a five-game absence due to right plantaris tendinitis.
The Pelicans are currently last in the Western Conference with a 5-19 record, plagued by injuries to key players including Zion Williamson, Jose Alvarado, and Jordan Hawkins.
Ingram’s absence raises further uncertainty about his future with the team, as he approaches free agency after the 2024-25 season and has expressed a desire for a more competitive environment.
