Brandon Ingram is diagnosed with a partially torn Achilles tendon and will miss the start of the Los Angeles Clippers’ season, according to team updates reported by multiple outlets. The injury is identified during offseason work related to heel surgery, and his recovery timeline delays his Clippers debut.
Ingram was acquired by the Clippers as part of the trade that sends Kawhi Leonard to the Toronto Raptors. One report says the partial tear is discovered during offseason surgery, indicating the team does not expect him to be ready for the season opener. Another outlet adds that the torn Achilles is found in May during heel surgery. While the reports differ slightly on the timing details, they align that the injury was identified after his move from Toronto and directly affects his availability at the beginning of the season.
