NBA Trade Rumors: Brandon Ingram Deal a 'Priority' for Pelicans amid Contract
Year
The New Orleans Pelicans are reportedly focused on finding a taker for
veteran wing Brandon Ingram in the midst of his contract year.
According to ESPN's Tim MacMahon and Bobby Marks, trading Ingram "is the
priority" for the Pels prior to the Feb. 6 trade deadline.
Ingram suffered a high-grade low left ankle sprain in early December, and he
has missed the Pelicans' past nine games.
The 27-year-old Ingram has been his productive self when healthy this season,
averaging 22.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 2.4 three-pointers made,
while shooting 46.5 percent from the field and 37.4 percent from beyond the
arc, but he has been limited to just 18 games.
Injuries have always been an issue for Ingram, who has played in 65 or more
games in a season only once in his career, and not since his rookie campaign
with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2016-17.
Last season, Ingram played in 64 games, which was the second-highest total of
his career, but he is trending toward appearing in fewer than 60 games for
the third time in the past four seasons.
For his career, Ingram averages 19.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.3 assists per
game, and the numbers look even better during his six-year run with the Pels,
as he has averaged 23.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.2 assists.
In 2019-20, he was the NBA's Most Improved Player and was named an All-Star
for the first and only time, and he has continued to put up impressive
numbers since then even though remaining on the court consistently has been a
struggle.
Ingram signed a five-year, $158.25 million maximum contract extension with
the Pels in 2020, but they have been unable to come to terms on another new
deal, meaning a trade is the best course of action for New Orleans so as to
not lose him for nothing in free agency.
