In a crucial turn of events, the Toronto Raptors will have to tackle Game 6 of their intense postseason series against the Cleveland Cavaliers without the services of forward Brandon Ingram. Head coach Darko Rajakovic confirmed that Ingram is sidelined due to a sore right heel, an injury he sustained during the Raptors’ recent 125-120 defeat in Cleveland.
Ingram, a two-time All-Star, exited the game during the second quarter after managing just one point in 11 minutes. His absence marks a significant setback for the Raptors, as Ingram has been a pivotal player throughout the regular season, averaging 21.5 points per game in his first year with Toronto. However, his postseason performance has been below expectations, with an average of 12 points per game against the Cavaliers.
Cleveland currently leads the series 3-2 and stands on the brink of advancing with one more win. The Raptors, dealing with injuries to key players like Scottie Barnes alongside Ingram, are hoping to rebound and push the series to a deciding Game 7. The series has witnessed each home team securing victories, adding weight to Toronto’s home-court advantage in this upcoming clash.
Game 6 is set to be streamed live on Prime Video, as fans worldwide tune in to see if the Raptors can overcome their adversities and extend their playoff journey.
