Brandon Ingram has not played a basketball game since December 7, missing over two months of action. Ingram's inability to stay healthy on the court this season was a big reason why the New Orleans Pelicans decided to move on from him and not pay the max contract.

The question on everyone's mind now is when the one-time All-Star will don a Raptors jersey on the court for the first time. Ingram's debut is certainly a highly-anticipated one for Raptors fans everywhere.

The Raptors acquired Ingram, who hasn't played since Dec. 7 due to a sprained ankle, in a deal with the Pelicans last week.

The Toronto Raptors swooped in to secure the services of their newest star before the NBA Trade Deadline. The Raptors pushed hard to acquire Ingram, and wound up sending Bruce Brown, Kelly Olynyk, and a couple of picks in exchange for their brand-new star forward.

The Toronto Raptors are about to enter their final part of the season. The Raptors returned to practice on Wednesday with a full squad. Jakob Poeltl was back practicing on the court after missing 5 games with a hip injury.
