TORONTO – Brandon Ingram has waited long enough to make his Toronto Raptors debut.
Ingram spoke at the Raptors media day this morning about how eager he is to start playing with his new teammates in an actual NBA game.
The small forward was sent to Toronto by the New Orleans Pelicans back in February ahead of the NBA’s trade deadline.
Ingram was out with a left ankle sprain at the time and didn’t recover in time to play in the 2024-25 season.
