Toronto Raptors star forward Brandon Ingram was spotted wearing a protective walking boot during Sunday morning’s team practice session, just hours before the critical Game 7 showdown against the Cleveland Cavaliers in their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series.
The team has listed Ingram as questionable for tonight’s decisive contest due to inflammation in his right heel.
The two-time All-Star selection has been significantly hampered by the injury in recent games. During Toronto’s 125-120 loss in Game 5 on Wednesday, Ingram managed just 11 minutes of playing time and contributed only one point. He was completely sidelined for Friday’s thrilling 112-110 overtime win in Game 6 that forced tonight’s winner-take-all battle.
The 28-year-old veteran had an outstanding regular season performance, leading the Raptors in scoring with 21.5 points per game across 77 contests. He also contributed 5.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game while connecting on 38.2% of his three-point shot attempts.
