14 Brandon Ingram SF

Ingram (knee) will not play in Thursday's game against Orlando.

The Pelicans season will come to a disappointing end Thursday, as they failed to hang around in the race for the eighth seed in the Western Conference. Ingram will conclude his breakout fourth season with averages of 23.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.0 steal and 0.6 blocks per game.

Ingram will not play in Tuesday's game against the Kings due to a sore right knee.

It's fairly safe to assume that Ingram would be playing if the Pels had a chance to make the playoffs, but with that goal out of reach, the All-Star wing will be held out of action, as will Zion Williamson (knee) and Jrue Holiday (elbow). Keep an eye on Ingram's status for Thursday's seeding game finale against Orlando, as well.

Ingram had 17 points (6-14 FG, 2-4 3PT, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and five assists in Sunday's loss to San Antonio.

It was a relatively quiet afternoon for Ingram, who took just 14 shots in 33 minutes of action. The Most Improved Player candidate has remained a focal point of the Pelicans' offense, but he's hit fewer than 50 percent of his shots in five of six seeding games.

Ingram posted 24 points (8-14 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Thursday's 140-125 loss to the Kings.

Thursday marked Ingram's third 20-point game of the bubble, only dipping below that mark Aug. 1 against the Clippers. It was also the sixth time this season Ingram has scored at least 20 points on 14 or fewer field-goal attempts.

Ingram scored 24 points (8-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-10 FT) while adding seven rebounds, five assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Monday's 109-99 win over the Grizzlies.

Ingram was coming off an uninspiring 14-point effort against the Clippers, but he bounced back admirably in this pivotal game for New Orleans. Ingram has been one of the Pelicans' biggest offensive threats this season and should remain in that role down the stretch, even if Zion Williamson and Jrue Holiday remain healthy the rest of the way.

Ingram scored 23 points (7-20 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT) while adding eight rebounds and a block in 33 minutes during Thursday's 106-104 loss to the Jazz.

The 22-year-old helped the Pels carve out a 12-point lead heading into halftime, but the team faded down the stretch. Prior to the hiatus, Ingram was in the midst of a big-time breakout during his first campaign in New Orleans, and there was no sign here that the layoff might have slowed his momentum.

Ingram (face) managed 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists in 20 minutes during Monday's 124-103 scrimmage win over the Bucks.

Ingram returned to the rotation after missing Saturday's scrimmage against the Nuggets following a minor dental procedure. He should be expected to play Thursday when the Pelicans' season resumes with a game against the Jazz. Ingram has averaged an absurd 39.0 points to go along with 6.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.7 blocks across 39.0 minutes through three matchups versus Utah this season.

Ingram will be sidelined for Saturday's scrimmage against the Nuggets following a minor dental procedure.

Ingram was also absent from Saturday's shootaround, but it does not sound like anything to worry about heading into Thursday's opener against the Jazz. Nicolo Melli will presumably see the most minute uptick during Saturday's scrimmage as a result of his absence.

Ingram registered 12 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 11 minutes during Wednesday's 99-68 win over the Nets.

Ingram was having a career year when play got suspended in March, and if this scrimmage is any indication, he is going to pick things up right where he left them off. The small forward is expected to carry a sizable role in the Pelicans offense, as New Orleans will compete for the eighth seed in the Western Conference once play resumes.

Ingram had 15 points (6-12 FG, 0-2 3PT, 3-5 FT), 12 rebounds and seven assists in Sunday's win over Minnesota.

Ingram took only 12 shots in 40 minutes, but he pulled down double-digit rebounds, while functioning as a playmaker. Ingram's seven assists tied for his most in any game since early January.

Ingram finished with 12 points (4-20 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block in 30 minutes during the Pelicans' 110-104 Friday night victory over the Heat.

The stat line doesn't show it, but Ingram played a major role in securing the win for New Orleans. Being 2-of-17 from the field, Ingram proceeded to nail a clutch two and a contested three to keep the Pelicans in front by a bucket prior to the incessant fouling of the closing minute beginning. The fearlessness is a silver-lining on nights where Ingram can't find his stroke.

Ingram delivered 24 points (9-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four assists, three rebounds and two steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 139-134 loss to the Timberwolves.

Ingram's numbers have suffered a dip due to Zion Williamson's emergence as a reliable scoring threat, but the former Laker has still managed to top the 20-point plateau in three of his last four games. Since missing three games before the All-Star break, Ingram has averaged 22.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game.

Ingram contributed 15 points (5-23 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Lakers.

It was a rough showing from Ingram against his former team in this one. He couldn't seem to get the lid off the basket all night, and his supporting stats weren't there either. While Ingram still holds a top 25 fantasy ranking on the season, he's fallen outside of the top 40 in nine-category leagues over the last two weeks. This has been mostly due to a slight uptick in turnovers and the lack of blocks. Although the 22-year old isn't known as an outstanding shot-blocker, he's averaged a solid 0.7 of them this season prior to this game. Unfortunately, Ingram has gone on a nine-game streak without a single block now. Outside of this rough outing, Ingram has been his dominant self, still in the midst of an exciting breakout campaign.

Ingram amassed 29 points (11-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven assists, six rebounds and one steal in 33 minutes during Friday's 116-104 victory over the Cavaliers.

Ingram led the Pelicans in scoring as they continue to push for a playoff spot. They now sit only two wins behind the faltering Grizzlies, and the improved play of Ingram has certainly been a key factor to the Pelicans' success. After a hot start to the season, his production waned a little when Zion Williamson made his return to the lineup. However, in more recent times, Ingram appears to have adjusted to having Williamson on the floor and both are putting up excellent numbers. Ingram should continue to put up third-round value moving forward, making him arguably the most-improved player this season.

Ingram scored 34 points (12-20 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 7-8 FT), along with seven rebounds, four assists and two steals in 37 minutes during the Pelicans' 118-109 loss to Lakers on Tuesday night. He also had seven turnovers.

Coming off of a 5-for-18 shooting night on Sunday, Ingram returned to his All-Star scoring ways. The turnover total matched Ingram's season-high, which put a dent in his DFS scoring. Nonetheless, Ingram has been a top-3 asset at the small forward position in season-long leagues.

Ingram compiled just two points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal in nine minutes during Sunday's 157-155 All-Star Game loss to Team LeBron.

Ingram didn't see much action, which is no surprise with him still working his way back from an ankle injury. This was surely not the All-Star debut he would have liked, but the simple fact that he was on the court at all is a real positive. Ingram's troublesome right ankle held him out for the Pelicans' final three games before the break, but this performance seems to indicate that he should be ready to roll moving forward. That's good news for his fantasy owners, who've enjoyed a monster campaign that has Ingram sitting on career-best averages in scoring (24.9 points), rebounds (6.4), assists (4.2) and steals (1.0), His numbers have dropped slightly since the addition of Zion Williamson, but the two have demonstrated the ability to coexist, so there's no reason to think that Ingram will lose much value down the stretch.

Ingram (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Oklahoma City.

Ingram will miss his third straight matchup while nursing a right ankle sprain. Fortunately, he'll have the All-Star break to recover before his team takes the court next. Josh Hart draws the start at small forward in Ingram's place.

Ingram (ankle) isn't starting Thursday's game against Oklahoma City, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

Ingram was deemed questionable due to a right ankle issue, and it's not a good sign that he's absent from the starting five. The team has yet to rule him out for the clash, so it's still possible that he'll be available off the bench, though a final decision on Ingram's availability will come closer to tip.

Ingram (ankle) will be a game-time call for Thursday's game against the Thunder, Scott Kushner of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Ingram noted his ankle is still "a bit sore," and he'll test things out during pregame activities before a decision is made on his availability. If he's sidelined, extra usage should funnel to Zion Williamson and Jrue Holiday, while J.J. Redick and Nicolo Melli could see increased minutes.

Ingram (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Thunder.

Ingram has missed the past two games due to a sprained right ankle, but he was able to participate in shooting drills and player development work Wednesday and it sounds like he could return for the team's final game before the All-Star break. With the extended break looming, the Pelicans could play it safe with Ingram and keep him sidelined. Look for his status to clear up closer to tip-off.
