Los Angeles Lakers second-year forward Brandon Ingram was diagnosed with a head contusion after the team’s second preseason game and missed their third one against the Denver Nuggets.
After practicing with the team in full Friday, the team announced Saturday that Ingram was officially cleared to return Sunday when the Lakers travel to Las Vegas to take on the Sacramento Kings via Lakers Nation reporter Serena Winters:
Ingram has struggled a bit to begin the preseason, scoring 9.5 points per game in his two appearances while shooting just 29.2 percent from the field. Still, the preseason is an opportunity for the Lakers’ young and overhauled roster to gel, so Ingram will need all the reps he can get as he and the rest of the team continue to prepare for the season to come.
