Brandon Ingram hasn’t been playing for the New Orleans Pelicans for some time now. And through this period, while the team has been able to keep grabbing wins, they haven’t been nearly as convincing as before.

Furthermore, the franchise has released its stronghold it had on the first seed, dropping down to 3rd having lost their last 4 games on the bounce.
Simply put, Brandon Ingram is quite an important piece to this franchise. And if the losses hadn’t made it apparent already, no matter how deep this franchise is, their strength gets cut in half without him.
With that in mind, it is necessary to ask- Is Brandon Ingram going to be available to play tonight?

First, you have Zion Williamson, who is suddenly unable to play due to having to enter health and safety protocols. And then, as they looked towards Brandon Ingram to find some good news, they find that he will continue to stay out for at least 2 more games, as per ESPN.
Fans will be hoping that CJ McCollum can pull something out of his bag tonight to grab the win during this game.
If the former Blazers guard can manage to do something, it could prove to be a catalyst for the team to go on a winning run again.
Fans in New Orleans can’t be blamed if they’re biting their nails at the thought of that.
