Brandon Ingram To Miss Start Of Season After Achilles Surgery

Los Angeles Clippers forward Brandon Ingram will miss the start of the 2026-27 season after undergoing surgery to repair a partially torn Achilles tendon and a heel issue. Acquired from Toronto for Kawhi Leonard, the 29-year-old averaged 21.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.7 assists last season. Interim president Trent Redden noted no fixed return timeline, though recovery is shorter than a full tear. Ingram played through pain last year before discovering the injury.
