The Los Angeles Lakers announced preliminary results on Brandon Ingram for a concussion test came back negative, but he was diagnosed with a neck muscle contusion. Ingram, who did not speak with reporters following the loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, will be re-evaluated Saturday.
He was removed for the night after playing two minutes into the overtime period. Ingram appeared to suffer the injury on a foul in the fourth quarter, and he remained on the floor for a few beats before rising to his feet.
Still playing on a minutes restriction, Ingram finished with 12 points, three rebounds and six assists in 27 minutes.
