Brandon Ingram Injury Update: Latest on Pelicans star’s status ahead of game vs. Celtics (March 30)

Despite the New Orleans Pelicans welcoming the Boston Celtics at the Smoothie King Center on Saturday, it is unlikely that Brandon Ingram will be playing. Ingram has been sidelined for the past four games since sustaining a knee injury on Mar. 21 during the Pelicans’ defeat against the Orlando Magic.

Despite his injury, the one-time All-Star has remained crucial to New Orleans’ performance this season. Prior to his setback, he had been averaging 20.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 5.8 assists, while maintaining impressive shooting percentages of 49.0% from the field, 35.6% from 3-point range, and 80.1% from the free-throw line.

Despite currently holding the fifth spot in the Western Conference, the Pelicans are determined to secure a top-4 finish. In order to increase their chances, they must defeat formidable opponents such as the Celtics. Unfortunately, in their first meeting on Jan. 29 in Boston, the Pelicans fell short with a final score of 118-112.

The Rise and Fall of Brandon Ingram

After much worry surrounding Ingram, who has been a standout for the New Orleans Pelicans this season, an MRI was conducted which confirmed a left knee contusion. This news came as a relief for the Pelicans.
