“Bro is winning,” commented another account.
Ingram hasn’t played an NBA game since taking the court for the Pelicans against the OKC Thunder on December 7, 2024. The former Duke star has been recovering from an ankle injury he suffered halfway through the 2024-25 season, but that hasn’t stopped him from enjoying some downtime this offseason.
