Clippers Get Concerning Brandon Ingram Injury Update Before Camp
The Clippers await a key Brandon Ingram injury update with training camp approaching.
The Los Angeles Clippers have received an unsettling update regarding the health of their new acquisition, Brandon Ingram, prior to the team's upcoming training camp. ESPN analyst Brian Windhorst reported on the situation, stating that the star point guard had undergone surgery on his foot during the offseason to remove a heel spur, but the full extent of his recovery remains uncertain.
Clippers fans, eagerly anticipating the start of the season, were dismayed by the news, as Ingram was expected to be ready for the start of training camp, which runs from September 29th to October 3rd. While Ingram's initial foot injury occurred in May, the underlying issue had been troubling him since March, when it first flared up and forced him to play through pain while playing for the Raptors.
His struggles persisted during the playoffs, as he was forced to sit out Games 6 and 7 of the first-round loss against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Despite participating in just five games that season, Ingram averaged a disappointing 12 points on 32.8% shooting, far below his regular season performance. The concern lies in Ingram's inability to maintain his 2019-20 season form, where he played the most games in his career (77 games) after a healthy rookie season.
As the Clippers prepare for the new season, fans are left waiting for any updates on Ingram's recovery status, which may finally be revealed during media day.
