Brandon Ingram undoubtedly had his share of ups and downs in three seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers. He showed fans exactly the type of player he can be, and Ingram built on that this season to win the 2020 Most Improved Player Award.
Even coupled with the growing pains endured, Ingram formed a bond with Lakers fans that remains to this day. Ingram last played a game for the franchise in March 2019, but then a blood clot in his shoulder forced him to miss the remainder of the 2018-19 season.
While there were rumblings at the time, there was not telling those would be Ingram’s final games with the Lakers.
