Brandon Ingram is unlikely to be traded or sign an extension soon, according to Pelicans' VP David Griffin. The team faces financial constraints but is committed to the player. New Orleans' roster is crowded, and they are navigating challenges in building around Zion Williamson. Despite some complications, they are focused on making the current group work.

Ingram, an All-Star and Most Improved Player, faces uncertain contract negotiations as teams deal with new CBA restrictions. The Pelicans are embracing a small ball approach and emphasizing their roster strengths. The future for Ingram and the team remains uncertain, but they are prepared to address challenges head-on.
