Brandon Ingram is reportedly heading to the Toronto Raptors from the New Orleans Pelicans in a significant trade deal. Toronto will send Bruce Brown, Kelly Olynyk, and a 2026 first-round pick in exchange for Ingram, who has been averaging 22.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 5.2 assists this season. The first-round pick is top-four protected and was part of the Raptors' previous deal for Pascal Siakam.

This season, Ingram has been sidelined since December 7 due to a sprained left ankle, but his talent is undeniable. Meanwhile, Bruce Brown, who was acquired as part of the Siakam trade, has averaged 8.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.6 assists this year, while Olynyk has been a consistent presence with 7 points and 3.6 rebounds per game. This trade reflects Toronto's hopes of elevating their roster as they seek to enhance their playoff contention.
