The Pelicans will be without Brandon Ingram, who will miss his second straight game after spraining his right ankle against the Mavericks, in tonight’s matchup against the Trail Blazers.
Ingram is on pace to play in the fewest amount of regular season games of his career. He’s made 31 appearances this season, and with only 14 games remaining after today, there’s no chance of eclipsing the 52 games played in his final campaign with the Lakers.
That analysis alone is disappointing. However, when factoring the Pelicans are fighting for their postseason lives — they’re starting the day in 11th, half a game out of the play-in tournament picture, that’s downright depressing to consider.
