Brandon Ingram stops practicing and could leave the Pelicans
The wayward player, who has delivered much less than promised when he arrived from the Lakers, seems not to want to continue alongside Zion Williamson
NBA Rumors: Brandon Ingram seems to be doing everything possible to move on from the New Orleans Pelicans. In recent days, more and more signs have emerged indicating that his future with the team is uncertain. It all started when Ingram posted a message on his Instagram hinting at the importance of recognizing your own worth, which many interpreted as a sign of discontent with his current situation in New Orleans.
In addition, Ingram did not attend the voluntary workouts organized by the Pelicans in California. Unlike Zion Williamson, who in the past missed these workouts due to injury, there have been no reports of Ingram dealing with any physical issues. This absence has sparked speculation about a possible rift in the relationship between Ingram and the team.
NBA reporter Shamit Dua pointed out that Ingram was the only Pelicans player, besides Daniel Theis, who did not participate in these workouts, which is significant considering that the full team was expected to be present. This has added fuel to the fire, especially after Ingram's cryptic message emphasizing the importance of not staying in environments where your true potential is not valued.
Tension between Ingram and the Pelicans
The tensions between Ingram and the Pelicans could be related to contract negotiations. Reports suggest that Ingram is seeking a contract extension for four years and around $208 million, but the Pelicans seem unwilling to offer that amount. This disparity in expectations could be the reason behind Ingram's cryptic messages and his absence from the workouts.
