Former Duke star Brandon Ingram was traded earlier this week as part of a deal that sent Kawhi Leonard back to the Toronto Raptors. Ingram, along with Gradey Dick and draft capital, was sent to the Los Angeles Clippers in return for Leonard.
Ingram, a North Carolina native, played in just one season at Duke, averaging 17.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, two assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.1 steals.
If he suits up for the Clippers, this would be his second time playing in Los Angeles after spending the first three years of his career with the Lakers. Last season with the Raptors, Ingram made his second All-Star team, averaging 21.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 0.8 steals.
Looking ahead to the 2026-27 campaign, Ingram will hope to establish a permanent home in Los Angeles after now being traded three times in his first 10 seasons.
