Toronto Raptors forward Brandon Ingram has been cleared for contact as he works his way back from an ankle injury.
"He's pain-free, he's moving well, he got stronger," Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic told TSN on Thursday. "He's in a really, really great spot."
The 27-year-old former All-Star is expected to take part in upcoming team scrimmages, per TSN.
Ingram has been completing individual workouts and training with the Raptors while rehabilitating the injury that ended his season on Dec. 7, when he was still a member of the New Orleans Pelicans.
