CLEVELAND (AP) — Toronto Raptors forward Brandon Ingram missed Game 7 of the Eastern Conference first-round playoff series against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday due to a sore right heel.
Coach Darko Rajakovic stated, “The injury right now is such that he needs to rest and go easy on his heel and we’ll see where he is at after this.”
Ingram has been sidelined since midway through the second quarter of Wednesday night’s 125-120 loss to the Cavaliers.
Guard Jamal Shead started in Ingram’s place for the second consecutive game.
Ingram averaged 21.5 points during the regular season and participated in his second All-Star Game in his first season with the Raptors.
However, he has averaged just 12 points in the postseason.
The winner of Sunday’s game will advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals to face the Detroit Pistons, with Game 1 scheduled for Tuesday night in Detroit.
