If you include the 3 games after Zion returned, you get a 7 game stretch where Ingram hit the under on his season's averages for points and rebounds, while shooting 39/33/81 in terms of splits. It was a much larger slump than you acknowledge.
This 7 game stretch included a 4/15 game, as well as a 6/22 game that was immediately followed by a 3/11 game. These games are also putrid. And of course, during this stretch, Ingram's defense was not even close to Jrue's.
But for some reason, when Ingram has it, it's a slump; he'll snap out of it. When Jrue has it, we have to light the franchise on fire.
