Raptors’ Brandon Ingram gets crucial injury update for Game 7 vs. Cavs

The Toronto Raptors listed forward Brandon Ingram as questionable for Game 7 against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to right heel inflammation, casting uncertainty over his availability for Sunday’s decisive matchup.

Toronto released its latest injury report Saturday ahead of the 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff on NBC and Peacock. TSN’s Josh Lewenberg added further context on X, formerly known as Twitter, noting Ingram’s condition following Game 6.

“Brandon Ingram is questionable for tomorrow’s Game 7. Was in a walking boot last night.”

Ingram did not play in Game 6, where the Raptors forced a winner-take-all contest with a 112-110 overtime victory. RJ Barrett delivered the defining moment, knocking down a high-arcing three-pointer that bounced on the rim before falling through to seal the win.

The 28-year-old Ingram last appeared in Game 5, a 125-120 loss for Toronto. He was limited to 11 minutes, finishing with one point, two assists, one rebound and one block while going 1-for-2 from the free-throw line.

Brandon Ingram’s struggles, uncertain status loom large for Raptors in Game 7 vs. Cavs

Across the series, Ingram has struggled to find consistent rhythm. He is averaging 12.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game while shooting 32.8% from the field, 38.5% from three-point range and 73.9% from the free-throw line in 29.6 minutes per contest.

His potential absence would continue to shift offensive responsibilities toward Toronto’s supporting cast, which responded effectively in Game 6 to extend the series. Barrett’s late-game heroics highlighted the team’s ability to generate production without its primary forward at full strength.

Game 7 now presents a pivotal test for both teams, with Ingram’s status likely to play a significant role in Toronto’s approach as it seeks to advance past Cleveland.
