Los Angeles Lakers forward Brandon Ingram has been cleared to resume non-contact basketball activities and his injury status has been upgraded to day-to-day, according to the team. His new status means Ingram could theoretically return as soon as Monday for a matchup with the Indiana Pacers.
Ingram shot around and appeared to be moving well before the Lakers’ game against the Miami Heat on Friday night, who he coincidentally originally sustained his injury against after taking a hard foul on a late drive to the basket.
Ingram has missed the team’s last eight games with the groin strain.
