New Orleans (23-31, 17-9 since Dec. 18) was able to rack up 138 points and pick up a key win Tuesday over Portland without leading scorer Brandon Ingram, but the Pelicans hope they won’t have to overcome the All-Star forward’s injury absence much longer, particularly with more important games on the schedule. Ingram is listed as questionable to play in Thursday’s home matchup vs. Oklahoma City due to a right ankle sprain, saying this morning that his status likely will be determined when tip-off approaches.
“It’s feeling pretty good,” Ingram said of his ankle after this morning’s shootaround.
