Brandon Ingram exits Raptors playoff game early with right heel inflammation
CLEVELAND — Raptors all-star forward Brandon Ingram was hurt in Game 5 of Toronto’s series with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Ingram left the game in the second quarter and the Raptors announced he would not return to the floor.
A team spokesperson says Ingram had been struggling with right heel inflammation throughout the series and left the court midgame to have it retaped. When he began to warm-up again it was clear he would not be able to finish the game.
Ingram is averaging 14.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.3 assists over four playoff games. He had a point, a rebound and two assists when he was pulled from the game.
That’s well below his regular-season averages of 21.5 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists.
The best-of-seven series is tied 2-2.
