It’s not a surprise that Brandon Ingram’s season is over, but it was not expected that the star Toronto Raptors forward would need a PRP injection in his left ankle. Yet, that was judged to be the best course of action and was administered on Tuesday, Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic said on Wednesday before his team hosted the Charlotte Hornets in Toronto’s final home game of the year.

“While we were in New York, we had a chance to go and see a foot specialist with the team,” Rajakovic explained. “And he was able to give us the great news that our diagnosis and all the program and everything we’ve been putting in, it’s the right things. It’s what he needs. He’s been recovering really well. He did recommend for us to consider PRP injection,” Rajakovic said. “The reasoning behind it is it’s going to speed up his recovery. And now with five, six days over here to the rest of the season, it’s going to give him a time to really rehab and rest well and to be ready for our summer program.” -via Toronto Sun / April 9, 2025
Josh Lewenberg: A Brandon Ingram update: Rajakovic says he’s been able to do more on the court and is trending in the right direction. They’re hoping that he’ll be cleared for contact and go through a full practice next week but still sounds unlikely that he’ll play again this season. -via x.com / April 4, 2025
One surprise team that pursued Durant hard at the trade deadline with other teams making calls to Phoenix was the Atlanta Hawks, sources said. The Hawks, who were also in trade discussions with the New Orleans Pelicans on a deal centered around Brandon Ingram before he was traded to the Toronto Raptors, have been searching for another star to play alongside Trae Young. -via Clutch Points / March 30, 2025
