Underdog NBA: "Brandon Ingram (toe) ruled out for Wednesday."
The former second-overall pick is averaging 20.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.7 assists per contest in 15 games.
He is one of their top players and helps make up a talented big three that also features C.J. McCollum and Zion Williamson.
McCollum will also miss Wednesday’s game, so they will need a big night from Williamson.

They are 7-3 in their last ten games and also 7-3 at home.
