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

AutoDraft Pro AI

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.
