When Brandon Ingram returns from his four-game suspension as the Los Angeles Lakers take on the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night, he will (likely) be bumping Kyle Kuzma out of the starting lineup. Or so he seems to think.
Brandon Ingram after serving four-game suspension: "I'm not coming off the bench. I don't know the lineup, but I know I'll be in it."

The move would be an unsurprising one for a few reasons, but mainly because Ingram is one of the most important long-term building blocks the Lakers have on their roster and was playing fairly well individually prior to his suspension, averaging 14 points and 4 rebounds on 52.
