Brandon Ingram Rumors

Josh Lewenberg: A month (or so) of rest and rehab would allow BI to start ramping up in early June, which still gives him a full offseason of work. That is key. As Darko noted earlier this week, last summer was about getting/staying healthy, but needs to prioritize skill development this summer.

Michael Scotto: Toronto Raptors All-Star forward Brandon Ingram had surgery to address ongoing right heel pain. A heel spur was removed by Dr. Martin O’Malley at New York’s Hospital for Special Surgery. Ingram is expected to fully recover and be ready for training camp in September, team says.

Omer Osman: Bobby Webster on Brandon Ingram’s fit in his first season with Toronto, and if he sees BI as a long-term fit with this group: “By all accounts, I think Brandon fit in, and I think now this is the time for him to continue to improve shooting, get bigger, get stronger.” “I think having two All-Stars in Scottie [Barnes] and Brandon was a great, great season.”

Other than KD, are there any players you take things from? Baba Oladotun: I take a lot from LeBron's game, just his IQ and how he sees the court. And I also take a lot from Bam Adebayo, just like his footwork in the four. My middle name's Adebayo, actually, so like, that's a fun fact. But I take a lot from just how he's poised inside the mid post and stuff. And I also take a lot from Jabari Smith. This is his catch-and-shoot game. Obviously,he's not like a superstar in the NBA, but I like the way his play style. And then Brandon Ingram, like, gets his spots, rising over defenders.

Josh Lewenberg: Per Darko, Brandon Ingram injured his heel in late March and was playing through pain late in the season and into the playoffs. He said so much of this season, for BI, was about staying healthy and being on the floor, but this summer will be about taking his game to the next level.

Josh Lewenberg: Rajakovic said Ingram is going to see a specialist this week to learn more about the treatment plan for his heel injury. Re: Quickley's hamstring, same injury as Doncic, will miss a couple more weeks but shouldn't impact his summer. Expects both to be back on court in 3-4 weeks

The same would be true to a lesser degree with Quickley (four years and $130 million remaining) and Ingram (two years and $82 million), each of whom had positive regular seasons but were either injured (Quickley) or ineffective and injured (Ingram) in the playoffs. Quickley was in the trade market at the deadline and given how well the Raptors played even while Ingram struggled against the Cavs before missing most of Game 5 and all of Games 6 and 7 with heel inflammation, maybe they would consider using Ingram’s contract if they could somehow find an upgrade — which is no guarantee given he led the Raptors in scoring this past season.
