The Los Angeles Lakers announced Brandon Ingram had been cleared to return to the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks. He missed most of the month with a left groin strain suffered on a late foul in the March 1 game with the Miami Heat.
The Lakers have struggled without Ingram, going 5-7 without the sophomore forward in the lineup. Ingram is tied for first on the team in scoring this season with Julius Randle, averaging 16.2 points per game as part of a breakout campaign that’s also seen him average 5.4 rebounds and 3.9 assists while shooting 38 percent from 3-point range.
