The Pelicans have been ravaged with injuries this season; in addition to Ingram, Zion Williamson and Jose Alvarado are both out with hamstring injuries, Jordan Hawkins is missing due to a back ailment, and Dejounte Murray, the team's offseason acquisition, missed 17 games before returning a week and a half ago.
Ingram is in the last year of his current deal and has been the subject of numerous trade rumors over the past several months. How this injury could affect a potential move to another team remains to be seen.
