Ingram's Clippers Debut Delayed by Surgery
28 Sep
Summary
- Brandon Ingram's Clippers debut is delayed due to surgery.
- He underwent surgery for a right heel and Achilles injury.
- There is currently no timetable for his return to play.
Brandon Ingram's anticipated debut with the Los Angeles Clippers will be delayed following surgery to address a right heel injury and a partially torn Achilles tendon. The procedure was performed in May, and the team discovered the Achilles issue during the operation.
Ingram, a two-time All-Star acquired from the Toronto Raptors in the Kawhi Leonard trade, expressed optimism about his recovery. However, he confirmed he would not participate fully in training camp, which opens Tuesday in Hawaii. A definitive return date has not been set.
Last season, Ingram posted impressive averages of 21.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.7 assists for the Raptors. He missed the final two games of their playoff series against Cleveland due to his heel injury.
The Clippers are also managing other player health concerns. Guard Bradley Beal is experiencing right knee inflammation and will miss the start of training camp. Forward Jordan Miller is recovering from rotator cuff surgery, and Yanic Konan Niederhauser is sidelined by a foot ligament tear.
