Brandon Ingram Cleared for Contact Ahead of Training Camp

Brandon Ingram, who missed 36 games last season due to an ankle injury, has been medically cleared for contact, a significant step as he prepares for the upcoming season. This development is crucial for Ingram, who aims to continue his consistent scoring and improved playmaking, despite potential shifts in usage with Zion Williamson's return and CJ McCollum's continued presence on the Pelicans. His efficiency, particularly his strong free-throw shooting at an 88.2 percent clip, remains a key asset as he works to maintain his offensive impact.
