An extremely challenging season for the New Orleans Pelicans continues with yet another injury to a star player. Brandon Ingram will be out indefinitely with a low left ankle sprain, reports ESPN's Shams Charania.

Ingram suffered the injury in Saturday's 119–109 loss to the Oklahoma City. During the third quarter, he landed on Lu Dort's foot while attempting a shot in the lane. Ingram fell to the court in pain and was helped to the locker room by teammates.
