Raptors Sign Brandon Ingram to $120M Extension After Trade
The 27-year-old forward agrees to a three-year deal with a player option, solidifying Toronto's investment in its young core.
- The Toronto Raptors have signed Brandon Ingram to a three-year, $120 million contract extension, including a player option for the 2027-28 season.
- Ingram was acquired from the New Orleans Pelicans last week in a trade involving Bruce Brown, Kelly Olynyk, a 2026 first-round pick, and a 2031 second-round pick.
- Despite not yet playing for the Raptors due to a left ankle sprain, Ingram has averaged 22.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 5.2 assists in 18 games this season.
- The extension positions Ingram as a key part of Toronto's young core alongside Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley, and RJ Barrett, though concerns about injuries and cap constraints remain.
- Ingram, a former All-Star and 2020 Most Improved Player, is known for his scoring versatility and midrange shooting, which could address Toronto's offensive weaknesses.
