The Pelicans kicked off their most important home stand of the season on Wednesday with a victory over the Mavericks. Now they’ll face a back-to-back set over the weekend, starting with the Thunder tonight, and they’ll have to do it without Brandon Ingram.
“No Brandon tonight,” Willie Green said in pregame. There is a chance he’ll play tomorrow, per the head coach.
Ingram sprained his right ankle shortly before halftime against the Mavericks. He was listed as questionable on Friday’s injury report and the likelihood of him suiting up against the Thunder was small. He was relegated to some floor and pool work during yesterday’s practice.
