Raptors' Brandon Ingram Reinjures Heel, Misses Second Half of Game 5

Toronto will reassess the veteran forward Thursday to determine his status for Game 6.

Overview

  • Ingram left Game 5 after 11 minutes with a heel issue and was ruled out for the second half after a failed halftime re-taping.
  • Head coach Darko Rajaković said the heel problem has been on and off this season and was re-aggravated on a single play.
  • The forward finished with one point, one rebound, two assists, and a block, and he missed both of his field-goal attempts.
  • Cleveland beat Toronto 125-120 in Game 5, and the Raptors scheduled further evaluation to gauge Ingram’s availability for Game 6 on May 1.
  • Through the first four games of the series, Ingram averaged 14.8 points and shot 38.5% from three, which means a missed game would likely reshape Toronto’s rotation and shot creation.
