As Lopez notes in his report, Ingram is currently being listed as day-to-day. If he is indeed cleared to play in Thursday's game, he will likely be placed on a minutes restriction. As of right now, though, the Pelicans are confident that he'll be able to make a full recovery.
Ingram warmed up with his Pelicans teammates ahead of Monday night's game against the Houston Rockets. However, his knee tightened up a bit afterwards.
Ingram has been playing quite well through the early stages of this season. In fact, his 25.9 points per game are currently ranked 12th in the NBA, just behind Bradley Beal and Trae Young.
In his nine appearances with the Pelicans this season (all starts), Ingram has racked up averages of 25.9 points on 53.7 percent shooting from the field (46.9 percent from beyond the arc), 7.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists and just under one block (0.9) in 32.1 minutes per outing.
Thursday night's Pelicans-Clippers matchup is set to tip inside the Smoothie King Center at 8:00 p.m. ET.
Stay tuned for additional updates on Ingram's status.
