Brandon Ingram signs with Raptors on a three-year, $120 Million extension

Brandon Ingram has solidified
his future with the Toronto Raptors by signing a three-year, $120
million contract extension, according to ESPN’s Shams
Charania.
The extension includes a player
option for the 2027-28 season, and this agreement follows his
recent trade from the New Orleans Pelicans, where he was exchanged
for Bruce Brown, Kelly Olynyk, a 2026 first-round pick, and a 2031
second-round pick.
At 27, Ingram has been sidelined
since December 7 due to a left ankle sprain but is anticipated to
return to play after the All-Star break. Prior to his injury, he
averaged 22.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 5.2 assists over 18 games
this season. Throughout his career, Ingram has maintained averages
of 19.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game, having
played for the Los Angeles Lakers and the Pelicans since being
drafted second overall in 2016.
Ingram joins a promising Raptors
core that features Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley, and RJ
Barrett. Despite the team’s current 16-37 record, this acquisition
signals Toronto’s commitment to building a competitive roster for
the future. General Manager Bobby Webster has expressed optimism
about Ingram’s integration into the team and his potential impact
once he returns to full health.
