No. 2 and No. 3 are very much to be determined. Ingram has battled a myriad of injuries over the course of his nine-year NBA career and hasn’t played more than 64 games since his rookie season with the Lakers. The Raptors believe they have the best medical staff in the league, led by vice president of player health and performance Alex McKechnie, who famously put together the load management plan that allowed the oft-injured Leonard to make it through his lone season with Toronto in one piece. Ingram has been an all-star calibre player and perennial 20-plus point-per-game scorer when healthy, he just hasn’t been able to stay on the floor. If he could suit up 70 times next season – a big IF – that might be the key to unlocking another level in his game. “I’ve been injured a little bit, so I’ve been forgotten a little bit,” Ingram said. “Coming to Toronto, I feel like I have a chance to sprout a little bit.”
