Brandon Ingram Out for Friday's Game vs. Celtics with Right Thumb Sprain

Toronto Raptors forward Brandon Ingram (thumb) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Boston due to a right thumb sprain, his first absence all year after leaving Wednesday's win in Charlotte. He was initially a game-time decision and participated in shootaround, but the injury affects his shooting hand. Ingram is considered day-to-day, with his next chance to play Sunday against the 76ers. With Scottie Barnes (knee) also out, Gradey Dick, Ja'Kobe Walter, and Jamal Shead are prime candidates to start.
