It's been almost 10 years since the Los Angeles Lakers selected Brandon Ingram with the No. 2 pick in the 2016 NBA Draft. After three seasons with the Lakers, the front office sent him to the Pelicans in the 2019 offseason for Anthony Davis. It's been six years since that happened, and Ingram is starting the season with a new team.
New Orleans traded him to Toronto before the 2025 deadline, but he didn't play during the final stretch of the season. Ingram's unofficial Raptors debut didn't happen until Monday, when Toronto played Denver in Vancouver.
