• Clippers' Brandon Ingram: Trade expected to become official soon

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  The NBA has concluded its investigation into salary cap circumvention involving Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers, and the trade sending Ingram (heel) to Los Angeles is expected to be finalized in the coming days, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Among other punishments, the Clippers were stripped of five first-round picks Wednesday. Additionally, Leonard was fined $700,000 in restitution for improper benefits. However, now that the findings and penalties have been announced, Ingram is expected to officially be traded to the Clippers after averaging 21.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.5 combined steals-plus-blocks in 33.8 minutes per game across 77 regular-season appearances with the Raptors in 2025-26. He underwent surgery in early May to address ongoing right heel pain, though the issue isn't currently expected to linger into the 2026-27 campaign. The Clippers are set to acquire Ingram, Gradey Dick, two first-round picks, two second-round picks and a first-round pick swap in exchange for Leonard.

  The Clippers are nearing a deal that would send Kawhi Leonard to the Raptors for Ingram (heel), Gradey Dick, two future first-round picks, one pick swap and two future second-rounders, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Although the trade isn't yet finalized, it sounds like Ingram is heading to Los Angeles for the 2026-27 season. The star forward is recovering from heel surgery, but the expectation is that he'll be able to fully participate in training camp this fall. If the deal is indeed consummated, Ingram would set up as the Clippers' top scoring option while sharing the primary playmaking duties with Darius Garland.

  Ingram underwent successful surgery Friday to address ongoing heel pain, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports. A heel spur was removed during the surgery, and Ingram is expected to fully recover and be ready for training camp in September. This heel injury prevented Ingram from playing in the final two games of Toronto's playoff series against the Cavaliers, but by addressing it early in the offseason, his status for 2026-27 won't be in any doubt.

• Raptors' Brandon Ingram: Officially ruled out for Game 7

  05/03/2026 • By RotoWire

  Ingram (heel) is listed as out for Sunday's Game 7 of the Eastern Conference first-round series against Cleveland, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports. Ingram was recently spotted in a walking boot, so his lack of availability for Sunday's elimination game isn't surprising. His return timeline remains murky, meaning he isn't a lock to return for the Eastern Conference Semifinals, assuming Toronto manages to advance. While Ingram is off the floor, Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett are anticipated to continue doing most of the heavy lifting offensively, with Jamal Shead in line to remain in the starting lineup.

  05/03/2026 • By RotoWire

  Ingram (heel) has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful for Sunday's Game 7 of the first-round Eastern Conference playoff series against Cleveland, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports. It looks like Ingram will miss the final two games of the series due to a right heel injury that cropped up in Game 5. Jamal Shead should stay in Toronto's starting lineup for Game 7, and the Raptors will need more scoring from other role players like Ja'Kobe Walter, Jamison Battle and A.J. Lawson in Ingram's absence.
