Luke Walton calls Brandon Ingram ‘a huge part’ of Lakers organization, says he hopes Ingram can be around team soon

LOS ANGELES — Given that the Lakers have declared Brandon Ingram out for the rest of the season, there haven’t been a whole lot of reasons to get updates on him, but head coach Luke Walton was asked on Sunday how Ingram is doing in the aftermath of the thoracic outlet decompression surgery that is supposed to alleviate his blood clotting issue for good, and gave a brief update on where Ingram is at in the recovery process.

“I’ve talked to him a couple times. We haven’t seen him, so it will be good to see him again when that happens,” Walton said, adding that Ingram has been in Los Angeles but not around the team, and also not able to do basketball activities.
