Ingram played through a finger injury during the Pelicans’ first-round playoff series against the Phoenix Suns, taping the fourth and fifth fingers on his right hand with athletic tape.
He will spend the offseason rehabbing but is expected to be ready for training camp in September.
New Orleans is coming off a promising 2021-2022 campaign with Ingram operating as the team’s engine. The former Kia Most Improved Player averaged 22.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 5.6 assists in 55 starts.
The Pelicans said last month that fellow star Zion Williamson has been cleared to play without any restrictions.
