Brandon Ingram

The Los Angeles Clippers have delivered what fans and media are calling a brutal injury update on Brandon Ingram, shortly after the Kawhi Leonard trade reshaped the roster. Reaction across the NBA world has been baffled and pessimistic, with comments like 'this makes no sense' and warnings that it is 'going to be a long season' in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Brandon Ingram will miss the start of the NBA season after undergoing surgery, according to ESPN. The news is a setback for the Clippers, who will have to open their campaign without the star forward as he recovers. No detailed timeline for his return has been given beyond his absence from the season's opening games.
