On September 28, 2026, Los Angeles Clippers forward Brandon Ingram will not be ready to start the 2026-27 regular season due to a partially torn Achilles and heel surgery. Ingram, who was acquired in a trade with the Toronto Raptors for Kawhi Leonard, underwent the surgery in May. Despite his talent as a 29-year-old All-Star, he will miss the start of training camp on Tuesday and the regular season opener against the Sacramento Kings on October 21st.
The Clippers are hoping Ingram's return will be sooner than if the injury were more severe, but a timetable for his return is still uncertain. With Ingram out, point guard Darius Garland and rookie Rui Hachimura will have increased offensive responsibilities.
