Brandon Ingram, a key player in the Los Angeles Clippers' trade for Kawhi Leonard, will not be available to start the 2026-27 season due to a right heel injury and partially torn Achilles tendon. Ingram underwent surgery to address the issue. The Clippers will need to adjust their lineup without Ingram, who was a crucial part of their return in the trade.
ESPN reports that Ingram will miss the start of the season, but no further details on his expected return date have been provided. The injury is a significant setback for the Clippers, who were looking to build on their success with Ingram and Leonard on board. Ingram's surgery and recovery will be closely monitored by the team and medical staff.
