In the midst of a five-game losing streak, the timing couldn’t be any better for the New Orleans Pelicans. After being sidelined with a left great toe contusion for 29 games, Brandon Ingram is making his much-anticipated return tonight against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Ingram has appeared in 15 of New Orleans’ first 48 games, posting averages of 20.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.7 assists. He’s on pace to record the most lethal season of his career from 3-point range. Were his 46.7 3PT% to qualify for the leaderboard, Ingram would rank second only to Damion Lee’s 48.
