Los Angeles Lakers forward Brandon Ingram has been diagnosed with a deep venous thrombosis in his right arm and is expected to miss the rest of the season, the team said Saturday.
Ingram, who is averaging a career-best 18.3 points and 5.1 rebounds per game this season, had missed the past two games with a sore right shoulder. Further tests on Friday revealed the diagnosis.
He had started every game this season before the injury.
On Thursday, coach Luke Walton said Ingram was experiencing pain whenever he lifted his right arm.
"We've released what he's got going on, but I'm not going to get into all the details,'' Walton said.
