Fri Mar 2211:24Brandon Ingram Sidelined For At Least Two Weeks
New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (knee) was forced to leave the game against the Orlando Magic on Thursday due to a hyperextended knee. Luckily, after an MRI, the team found that Ingram suffered a bone contusion, so he avoided any serious damage to his knee. The team also announced that he will be re-evaluated in two weeks to see how his recovery progresses. The Pelicans will likely play it a bit safe given Ingram's injury history so that they can make sure he's able to play in the playoffs. While he's out, Herbert Jones and Trey Murphy III will likely be in the starting lineup together. Both of them serve as solid streaming options.

Thu Mar 2120:53Brandon Ingram Exits Early During Thursday's Game
New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (knee) was forced to exit early during Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic. The star forward suffered a left knee injury during the third quarter of this game. He was putting minimal pressure on his knee and was helped to the locker room. This is concerning, but fantasy managers will have to wait for more updates. The expectation is that the organization will have Ingram undergo testing to determine the severity of the injury. In the meantime, Jordan Hawkins and Trey Murphy III should see additional playing time.

Wed Feb 2818:54Brandon Ingram Will Play Wednesday
New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) will play against Indiana on Wednesday. He was initially regarded as questionable for the game after injuring his right ankle on Tuesday versus the Knicks. Ingram was hurt early in the game but still came through with 24 points in 34 minutes, adding six rebounds, five assists, and two blocks with solid shooting, which is a sign that he wasn't bothered too much by the injury.

Wed Feb 2815:19Brandon Ingram Questionable With Ankle Sprain
New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Ingram sprained his right ankle early in Tuesday's win over the New York Knicks but was able to return to the contest, so he's not dealing with a significant setback. If the 26-year-old star forward is unable to give it a go on the second leg of New Orleans' back-to-back, Trey Murphy III would continue functioning as a Pelicans starter as a chalky DFS play against a shoddy Pacers defense yielding the worst opponent field-goal percentage (50.5%) in the NBA.

Fri Feb 2319:55Brandon Ingram Won't Play On Friday
New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Miami Heat. This marks the second game in a row that Ingram will be forced to miss due to an illness. Trey Murphy III started in his place on Thursday and finished with 13 points, three rebounds, an assist, three steals, and three blocks in 34 minutes. He's well worth a look as a streaming option with Ingram missing Friday's game.

Fri Feb 2316:46Brandon Ingram Questionable Friday
New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (illness) is officially listed as questionable for Friday's matchup against the Heat. The 26-year-old sat out Thursday's game against the Rockets due to illness and may miss his second consecutive game. In his absence on Thursday, Trey Murphy III started and is likely to do so again if Ingram remains sidelined. Ingram, averaging 21.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 5.8 assists in 33.4 minutes per game this season, is a key player for the Pelicans.

Thu Feb 2218:37Brandon Ingram Out Versus Houston
New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (illness) won't play on Thursday versus the Rockets. He has been under the weather, so he carried a questionable designation heading into this one. However, head coach Willie Green didn't rule out Ingram returning to the lineup for Friday's matchup against Miami. At any rate, CJ McCollum and Zion Williamson should see more scoring opportunities without Ingram in the lineup. At the same time, Trey Murphy III and Jordan Hawkins are expected to get plenty of attention from DFS participants.

Wed Feb 2116:18Brandon Ingram Misses Practice Wednesday
New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (illness) was absent from the team's practice on Wednesday, and his status remains uncertain for the Pelicans' game at home against the Rockets on Thursday. If Ingram is unable to play, Trey Murphy and Jordan Hawkins are the most probable candidates to see an uptick in minutes. Additionally, C.J. McCollum and Zion Williamson typically see the biggest increase in overall usage when Ingram is sidelined. This season, Ingram has been averaging 21.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 5.8 assists in 33.4 minutes per game.

Sun Jan 1422:53Brandon Ingram Expected To Suit Up Against Mavericks
New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (Achilles) is expected to play on Monday after he was listed as probable. The veteran wing missed the team's last matchup with the Dallas Mavericks, but he'll at least play them this time around. Ingram, who has dealt with several injury issues in the past, has only missed three games so far this year. He's seen a slight decrease in stats and usage this season which is in large part due to Zion Williamson being healthier. While they've contributed to more team success, it hasn't equated to more fantasy success at the moment. Either way, he's still a must-start player as he sits inside the top 80 in nine-category leagues.

Sat Jan 1320:15Brandon Ingram Ruled Out For Saturday
New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (Achilles) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The Pelicans are going to be extremely shorthanded for this game. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so hopefully these players will return after the day off. In the meantime, Herbert Jones should see a spike in usage with the Pelicans shorthanded on players. Also, Jose Alvarado, Dyson Daniels, and Naji Marshall should see more action on Saturday.

Fri Jan 1216:29Brandon Ingram Expected To Play Friday
New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (Achilles) has been listed as probable on Friday and should be taking the court to play against the Denver Nuggets. Ingram is one of four key players that was upgraded from questionable to probable. CJ McCollum (ankle), Zion Williamson (quad), and Trey Murphy III (knee) are all expected to play as well. That means key reserves Jose Alvarado, Naji Marshall, and Dyson Daniels will not be getting extra opportunities. Ingram is a must-start player whenever healthy, so managers can deploy him into lineups regardless of the league format.

Fri Nov 3 202322:11Brandon Ingram May Miss Another Game On Saturday
New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (knee) is questionable for Saturday's clash with the Atlanta Hawks. The oft-injured 26-year-old last played nearly a week ago, logging 32 minutes versus the Knicks and amassing 26 points and seven rebounds. At this point, fantasy managers are used to lengthy absences from Ingram, who hasn't played more than 62 games since his rookie year. At any rate, if he sits again, Matt Ryan, coming off a 20-point outing against the Pistons, deserves consideration for fantasy lineups. In addition, Ryan will see plenty of interest from DFS participants, even though he hasn't been consistent on the scoring end.

Thu Nov 2 202318:42Pelicans Rule Out Brandon Ingram
The New Orleans Pelicans have ruled out guard/forward Brandon Ingram (knee) for Thursday's game versus the Detroit Pistons. The Pelicans are now categorizing Ingram's injury as right knee tendinitis, which initially scratched him from Monday's starting lineup against the Golden State Warriors. Tuesday's MRI revealed no structural damage to the 26-year-old All-Star's knee, so we'll continue to assume that he is day-to-day. We'll get the next update on Ingram's status leading into Saturday's interconference tilt with the Atlanta Hawks. 2023 first-round pick Jordan Hawkins has collected 35 and 37 minutes respectively in his last two games without Ingram, so we'd expect a similar arrangement on Thursday. With Zion Williamson (rest) getting the night off, there should be plenty of DFS budget plays to pick from in New Orleans' injury-riddled rotation.

Wed Nov 1 202318:46Brandon Ingram Sidelined For Another Game
New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Brandon Ingram (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Knee soreness moved Ingram to the shelf as a late scratch before Monday's 130-102 blowout loss to the Golden State Warriors, but an MRI later showed no structural damage to his knee. The 26-year-old All-Star appears to be day-to-day, and we'll see if he is able to come back during Thursday's back end of a back-to-back versus the Detroit Pistons. Ingram is averaging 22.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 4.5 assists despite a shaky start from beyond the arc (16.7% three-point shooting). 2023 first-round pick Jordan Hawkins started and handled 35 minutes from head coach Willie Green in Ingram's absence on Monday and figures to be the main fantasy beneficiary on Wednesday once again.

Tue Oct 31 202318:29No Structural Damage For Brandon Ingram After MRI
New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Brandon Ingram (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Knee soreness forced Ingram to the sidelines as a late stretch prior to Monday's 130-102 blowout loss to the Golden State Warriors, and his status remains up in the air leading into Wednesday's tilt. The 26-year-old All-Star sounds to be day-to-day after an MRI revealed no structural damage to his knee, so we'll see if he's at Wednesday morning's shootaround. Ingram has managed strong averages of 22.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 4.5 assists despite a sluggish start from downtown (16.7% three-point percentage). 2023 first-rounder Jordan Hawkins made a spot start and received 35 minutes from head coach Willie Green in Ingram's absence on Monday and would appear to be the main fantasy beneficiary if he is shelved once again.

Fri Oct 6 202314:21Pelicans To Feature Brandon Ingram More As A Playmaker
New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram could be looking at a bigger responsibility as a playmaker this season. The team hasn't signed a true point guard and the only 'real' playmaker on the team is CJ McCollum. So, that means they'll need to lean on the 26-year-old in that department. Last season was his career-high in assists per game with 5.8 and he also registered the only two triple-doubles of his career last year. Ingram has been a great source for scoring and efficiency in category formats, so if he can expand on his playmaking abilities while maintaining his rebounding numbers, he could turn into a great all-around fantasy asset.

Sat Sep 16 202309:03Brandon Ingram Not Interested In Extension Talks At Present
New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram will reportedly put extension talks on hold until next summer. He is currently set to enter the fourth season of a five-year, $158.2 million deal. The 26-year-old noted in the offseason that he loves life in New Orleans, but it appears as though he isn't rushing into inking a new deal to secure a bigger payday for himself. Ingram's contract value increases to a maximum extension of $334 million for five seasons if he can earn All-NBA honors this season. Considering his injury history, it's a pretty risky move. Ingram hasn't played in at least 65 games since his rookie season in 2016-17, and he's missed 67 games across the past two campaigns alone.

Wed Aug 9 202309:54Brandon Ingram Loving Life In New Orleans
New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram hasn't been bothered by trade rumors and is very happy with his current situation. "For me, I love New Orleans," Ingram told The Athletic's William Guillory. "It's perfect for me and the way I want to operate. Less distractions. I can go play basketball whenever I want to. I've got direct access to the facility. I've got people close to me who can come to the gym and help me at any time. I feel connected with New Orleans and the people around me." Ingram's future is set to become a hotter topic with each passing week, as the 25-year-old star has only two seasons remaining on his contract. The former Laker has had a great time in New Orleans and will enter next season coming off a career year. Ingram averaged 24.7 points with 5.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists in 2022-23.

Thu Jun 15 202320:10Pelicans Unlikely To Trade Brandon Ingram
New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram is unlikely to be moved this offseason. The organization says no player is untouchable, but they have shown little interest in moving Ingram, according to Yahoo Sports. Ingram is coming off a 45-game, injury-plagued season with the Pelicans. Despite that, he still averaged 24.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.8 assists per game across 34.2 minutes this past season. When healthy, Ingram is a reliable contributor, but keeping him on the court has been tough. Ingram still has two years left on his deal, and it appears the team plans to keep him around.

Thu Apr 13 202310:18Brandon Ingram Notches Another 30-Point Game In Loss
New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram continued his hot streak but it wasn't enough as the team's season ended on Wednesday after their five-point loss to the Thunder. The Duke product finished with 30 points, seven assists, six rebounds, and one block on an efficient 10-for-19 shooting and 9-for-11 from the charity stripe. Ingram was one of the only Pelicans that didn't disappoint, but while Zion Williamson remains sidelined, they were going to need more from everyone to beat a Thunder team with as good of an offense as they do.
