Ingram back this week?

Read an interview from Friday where BI said he hopes to be back for this road trip. He's listed as out for tonight still. Rotowire has his expected return as against Boston on Wednesday. I guess we will see but hopefully he is fully healthy when he gets back and can help CJ carry us until Zion can come back.

Why can't we have nice things? They always seem to break...

What interview? Roto wire?

Last game of the road trip I bet.

He hasn't even practiced yet. Or "made it through a full practice," according to Willie today. That's not encouraging.

Rotowire is a fantasy basketball site. They have good injury info in there usually.

If you click on BI's name it brings you to his page with the latest updates on his status.

It isn't perfect but it's a pretty good source for injury news.

They have him as a game time decision again as of now, which is an improvement over the last couple weeks.

Christian Clark tweeted that Brandon didn’t practice at all today. WTF. It doesn’t sound like he’s getting closer to returning.

Herb Jones looks like he has a contusion, Willie Green says. Added Herb was a little sore and team was thankful it wasn’t anything more. Team will see how he’s feeling tomorrow.

Nothing new on Brandon Ingram although we did see him getting up shots after practice.

Hopefully Herb's contusion isn't like Brandon's.

Has to be a bone bruise for BI.

"Though Ingram previously said that he expected to play at some point during the Pelicans' five-game road swing that began last Saturday in Dallas, he sat out the first two contests of the trip and appears on track to miss another one Wednesday in Boston. If Ingram can practice in some capacity Thursday, he might have a chance at being available Friday in Detroit. Given that he hasn't played since Nov. 25 due to a left big toe sprain, Ingram will presumably be on a minutes restriction if he's able to play Friday and/or in the final game of the road trip Monday in Cleveland."

That's the first mention I've heard of a sprain. It would explain the extended absence if they are correct. Also makes more sense than a contusion due to length of time missed so far.

playing against Detroit is a lot like practice lol
