Brandon Ingram injury update: Latest on Pelicans forward's status ahead of matchup vs Raptors | 2024-25 NBA season (Nov. 27)

Brandon Ingram’s status has been the major talking point for the New Orleans Pelicans ahead of their game against the Toronto Raptors. Ingram is listed as "questionable" with a calf injury for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.

The Pelicans have been hit with an injury crisis in recent weeks, with key players Zion Williamson, Jose Alvarado and Herbert Jones picking up serious injuries and unlikely to return to action soon. Ingram, who missed the previous game against the Pacers due to a calf ailment, could also miss this one. However, Dejounte Murray should return to the lineup for the first time since the season opener.

Ingram also missed practice on Tuesday, as reported by Will Guillory of The Athletic. On top of that, he’s leaving his agency, Excel Sports.

Brandon Ingram's performance so far this season

The 27-year-old has been a bright spark in an otherwise turbulent campaign for the Pelicans. He leads the team in scoring with 22.9 points per game and assists with 5.4 per game.

He played 16 games out of 18 this campaign and will need to stay injury-free and be as reliable this year if the Pelicans have any chance at staying in the playoff picture.

The Pelicans sit at rock bottom of the conference standings with four wins in 18 games. They are winless in five consecutive games. It's left Willie Green as the favorite to be the next coach sacked, and that's perhaps understandable given the run of games that lay ahead.

Pelicans' next five games include Cavaliers, Grizzlies, Knicks, Hawks and Suns.
