The Toronto Raptors announced they’re officially shutting down Brandon Ingram for the rest of the 2024-25 season after receiving an injection in his hurt left ankle.
“While we were in New York, we had a chance to go and see a foot specialist with the team,” Rajakovic said about Ingram via Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun. “And he was able to give us the great news that our diagnosis and all the program and everything we’ve been putting in, it’s the right things. It’s what he needs. He’s been recovering really well. He did recommend for us to consider PRP injection.”
“Obviously he had a bad injury. We’re aware of that. We are doing everything in our power to get him back on the court and for his recovery. He’s doing amazing job. He’s very compliant. He is putting a lot of work in. I strongly believe that it’s going to be behind us,” he added.
Ingram arrived in Toronto in exchange for Kelly Olynyk, Bruce Brown, and future draft picks last February. However, he has yet to debut despite signing a three-year, $120 million contract extension on February 11.
Toronto Raptors secure 30th win of the season
The Toronto Raptors are on a two-game winning streak after notching a 126-96 win over the undermanned Charlotte Hornets yesterday.
Jared Rhoden led with 23 points. Jonathan Mogbo posted a triple-double with 17 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists, and three steals on 7-for-16 shooting from the field. Scottie Barnes, AJ Lawson, RJ Barrett, and Jamison Battle added 17, 14, 11, and 10 points.
Toronto improved to a 30-50 record, but they’re already eliminated from play-in contention as the 11th seed.
