Darko Rajakovic on Scottie Barnes’ development: "Scotty is the one who's transformed the way that he's played the most. He's really been willing to do a lot of the dirty work stuff and like last year, Brandon Ingram became the go-to guy. Star players are like, I want the ball, I want to take the shots, I want to be the centerpiece. And Scotty really kind of shifted his focus on, I'm going to be a great defender, I'm going to be a great facilitator. I know I'm going to get my shots, but that's not going to be where my focus is."
Tomer Azarly: Bradley Beal, Brandon Ingram, Jordan Miller, Yanic Konan Niederhäuser, and Max Strus are all OUT for the Clippers tomorrow vs. the Kings. Kobe Sanders is not listed and expected to play.

Tomer Azarly: Brandon Ingram, Bradley Beal, Yanic Konan Niederhauser, and Kobe Sanders are all not doing 5-on-5 right now and doing individual player development work. Clippers say Bradley Beal is continuing to have inflammation managed and Kobe is day-to-day.
In his Bleacher Report NBA insider update, Jake Fischer revealed that there is "optimism" around the recovery progress of the new Clippers franchise star. “I heard optimism that Brandon Ingram is gonna be back on the floor sooner than really anticipated," Fischer relayed. "We look forward to, hopefully, a positive development for him. "The Clippers certainly need it."
Anthony Slater: Brandon Ingram doing light shooting/court work prior to Clippers first practice in Hawaii. Expected to miss start of the season after heel/Achilles surgery. Ty Lue: “As he gets closer, we got to start getting him on the floor and going through the plays, seeing what he likes.”
The Clippers acquired Ingram, Gradey Dick and draft compensation from the Raptors this offseason in exchange for Leonard, whose injury-riddled tenure with LA ended after seven seasons. Per a team source, who spoke under condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly, the Clippers were aware of Ingram’s Achilles repair at the time of the trade and learned more about his condition after it was completed. Redden said the surgery Ingram underwent in May also addressed his Achilles injury.
Tomer Azarly: 6 months from May, since the surgery he had in May addressed both the heel and Achilles. Partially torn has a much quicker timetable, and why he’s already back on the court.

Got a lot of soldiers out there that's ready to work and try to put their best foot forward. So I'm excited."
