Lakers forward Brandon Ingram will miss the remainder of the season with deep venous thrombosis, the team announced on Saturday.
Ingram, who has missed Los Angeles's last two games with a sore right shoulder, underwent further testing by the team's medical staff on Friday. Tests revealed a blood clot that had formed in a vein deep in his right arm.
Ingram had been a force for the Lakers since the All-Star break, averaging 27.8 points per game with more aggressive play. The third-year forward was averaging 18.3 points, 3.0 assists and 5.1 rebounds per game this season.
