Andre Ingram always believed his call to the NBA would come. There was a time, five years ago when his first daughter was born, that Ingram wondered if life in the development league could financially support his family.
But Ingram kept plugging away, and now, after 10 years, he’s on the verge of playing for the Los Angeles Lakers after spending another season in the G League with their South Bay affiliate. The team signed the 32-year-old for their remaining two games this season, and Lakers head coach Luke Walton said the expectation is Ingram will see the court against the Houston Rockets.
