Brandon Ingram and the Toronto Raptors have agreed to a contract extension before the newly acquired forward has even made his team debut. Ingram is signing a three-year extension worth $120 million, per ESPN’s Shams Charania, that will include a player option for the 2027-28 season. Ingram, who was traded from the Pelicans to the Raptors ahead of last week’s deadline, was originally set to enter free agency this summer.
Ingram has not played since early December because of an ankle injury, and it’s unclear when he’ll debut with his new team. Ingram, 27, was an All-Star with the Pelicans in 2020. He’s averaged more than 20 points per game in each of the last six seasons, and posted 22.2 PPG in 18 games for New Orleans this season before the injury.
