On March 10, Beijing time, the Pelicans officially announced today that the team's forward Ingram underwent an MRI examination today, which showed that his right hamstring was slightly strained and he will be re-evaluated within 7 to 10 days, which means that Ingram will be injured for 7-10 days.
The pelicans lost to the Grizzlies in the last game, and Ingram was truncated due to injury, and after an MRI, his injury was diagnosed as a slight strain of the hamstring.
So far this season, Ingram has played in 50 regular season games for the Pelicans, averaging 22.8 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.5 assists in 34.2 minutes per game, shooting 46.2% from the field and 33.5% from three-point range, ranking second in points per game for the Pelicans; this season, the Pelicans have only a 2-13 record when Ingram missed 15 games.
Ingram is on injury for 7-10 days and misses at least four games — today against the Magic, followed by the Hornets, Rockets and Suns, and is expected to return against the Spurs on March 19; the Pelicans are currently in 10th place in the West with 27 wins and 38 losses, 1.5 wins behind the Lakers, and Ingram's injury stop is undoubtedly a big blow to the Pelicans' impact on the playoffs.
It is also worth mentioning that Pelicans star Zion Williamson has returned to New Orleans and will not sit on the bench today, but Pelicans coach Willie Green said that Zion will return tomorrow; Zion is said to have lost nearly 11 kilograms, but this season Zion has not yet made his season debut due to injury, and the foot injury is worrying.
