Toronto Raptors forward Brandon Ingram underwent surgery to remove a spur in his right heel, the team announced on Friday.
The Raptors expect him to fully recover and be ready for training camp prior to the 2026-27 season.
Ingram, 28, missed the final two games of the Raptors’ first-round series with the Cleveland Cavaliers. He averaged 12.0 points, 3.2 rebound, and 2.2 assists in the first five games of the series before the Raptors fell in Game 7.
This was Ingram’s first full season with the Raptors after he was acquired from the New Orleans Pelicans for guard Bruce Brown, centre Kelly Olynyk and two draft picks prior to the 2025 trade deadline.
The 6-foot-8 forward did not appear for the Raptors during the 2024-25 campaign due to a high-grade left ankle sprain he sustained as a member of the Pelicans.
Ingram led the Raptors in scoring this season, averaging 21.5 points to go along with 5.6 rebounds per game. He joined star swingman Scottie Barnes at the 2026 All-Star Game.
His play helped the Raptors put together a 16-win improvement from last year, going 46-36 to finish in fifth place in the Eastern Conference.
Drafted second overall by the Los Angeles Lakers in 2016, Ingram has averaged 19.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.2 assists in his 572-game career split between the Lakers, Pelicans and Raptors.
The Duke alum also won the NBA’s Most Improved Player award in 2020 after averaging 23.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.2 assists in his first season with the Pelicans.
