LOS ANGELES -- Tuesday marked the 140th game of Brandon Ingram's NBA career. But it was the first game he's played since Anthony Davis set the basketball world on fire by requesting a trade on Monday that linked the Los Angeles Lakers forward in just about every plausible trade scenario to land the New Orleans Pelicans star.
To cap the whirlwind 24 hours, Ingram went out and scored a career-high 36 points on 16-for-20 shooting in the Lakers' 121-105 loss to Philadelphia with LeBron James, Kyle Kuzma and Lonzo Ball all out with injuries.
