Brandon Ingram will not be available to begin the 2026-27 season as he continues his recovery from surgery addressing a right heel injury and a partially torn Achilles tendon.
Ingram, who was a key part of the Clippers’ return in the trade that sent Kawhi Leonard out of Los Angeles, is now facing an extended absence as the team prepares for the start of the new campaign.
Clippers Face Early-Season Absence
The injury leaves the Clippers without one of the central players acquired in the Leonard deal at the outset of the season. No additional timeline beyond his absence to start 2026-27 has been provided.
Ingram’s recovery will be a significant storyline for Los Angeles as the franchise moves forward following the Leonard trade and begins the season without one of its most notable additions.
