Pelicans' Brandon Ingram Targets Nets For Season Debut

Recently-acquired New Orleans Pelicans star Brandon Ingram is targeting the team's season opener against the Brooklyn Nets for his debut

New Orleans Pelicans star Brandon Ingram, who was acquired from the Los Angeles Lakers in a blockbuster trade on draft night, is targeting the team's season opener against the Brooklyn Nets for his debut, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Ingram suffered a sprained ankle in the preseason and has been sidelined since, but he has been ramping up his activity in recent days and is expected to be ready for the start of the regular season.

Ingram's debut will be a major boost for the Pelicans, who are hoping to make a playoff push this season.

Ingram is a talented scorer and playmaker who averaged 22.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game last season, and his addition to a young Pelicans team that includes Zion Williamson, Lonzo Ball, and Josh Hart could make them a force in the Western Conference.

Here are some additional details about Ingram's debut:

Ingram is expected to start at small forward for the Pelicans.
He will likely be on a minutes restriction in his first game back.
The Pelicans are hoping that Ingram can help them get off to a good start to the season, and they believe that he can be a key part of their success this year.
