New Orleans Pelicans star forward Brandon Ingram was not in attendance at the teams week-long voluntary minicamp, per Will Guillory. Ingram was one of two players who did not attend the camp, with the other being Daniel Theis, the team’s newest acquisition. 

Ingram was an All-Star in the 2019-20 season, and also won the Most Improved Player award that year. This past season, he averaged 20 points, five rebounds, six assists a game. 

So why did Ingram not show up to the minicamp? Probably because he wants out. The Pels expected him to be there, so him not showing up is quite concerning for the team. Also, Ingram has been getting shopped by the Pels, with teams like the Utah Jazz showing interest in him. Ingram has also taken the sidekick role to the team’s new main star, Zion Williamson, who looks like he’s about to have a career-defining year.

It’s a good guess to think that Ingram will be on a new team at or even before the trade deadline. There are a bunch of teams that would love to have him and what he brings to the table.
