Why Brandon won't play vs. Jazz? Raptors star a late injury scratch

Ingram (heel) is out vs. Utah.

Just minutes away from their Monday matchup against the Utah Jazz, the Toronto Raptors have suddenly marked Brandon Ingram as unavailable to play.

Dealing with right heel soreness, Ingram was made a late scratch by the Raptors ahead of their road game in Salt Lake City.

Ingram was initially placed in the team's starting lineup, but Toronto decided to keep him sidelined for the game. Ja'Kobe Walter earned the nod as Ingram's replacement.

Facing a rebuilding and tanking Jazz squad, the Raptors are looking to snag a needed victory despite Ingram's sudden inactivity.

Ingram has enjoyed the healthiest season of his career this 2025-26. He is averaging 21.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 68 games for Toronto.
