Season Summary
Andre Ingram’s season was only two games long, but he was one of the biggest stories in the NBA.
After a decade of grinding away in the G League, the 32-year-old finally received his long-awaited NBA call-up, and he took full advantage.
He scored 19 points in his debut — hitting each of his first five shots — and received “MVP!” chants from the STAPLES Center crowd along the way.
Ingram then turned to facilitator mode for the Lakers’ season finale. He handed out a team-high six assists, as the purple and gold ended the year by thumping the LA Clippers.
By the Numbers
47.5: Three-point percentage in the G League this season, which led all players.
384: Games played in the G League before getting his call-up.
713: Three-pointers hit in his G League career — 176 more than the next-closest player.
What’s Next
Ingram is looking to continue riding his wave into a more permanent residence in the NBA.
He will likely warrant a look from some team at this year’s Summer League, where he would surely be one of the older players on the floor.
With elite shooting, a quick release and good passing instincts, Ingram has a skill set that fits the modern NBA. Time will tell if those talents will land him on a team next year.
