Clippers’ Brandon Ingram to miss start of season after surgery revealed partially torn Achilles

New Los Angeles Clippers forward Brandon Ingram will miss the opening stretch of the upcoming campaign after medical evaluations uncovered a previously undisclosed partial tear in his Achilles tendon. The hidden tendon issue was discovered during a corrective operation on his heel this past May, following a postseason absence with his previous club due to the foot discomfort.

While team leadership has not established a definite timetable for his comeback, medical expectations suggest a significantly faster rehabilitation period compared to a complete rupture. The twenty-nine-year-old athlete arrived in Los Angeles via a trade earlier this month that sent Kawhi Leonard to Toronto, where Ingram had previously put up averages of twenty-one points, five rebounds, and nearly four assists per contest.
