After facing some uncertainty entering the day, the Toronto Raptors<\/a> will have the services of their leading scorer, after all.<\/p>\n

All-star forward Brandon Ingram<\/a> has been upgraded to available for Sunday’s home game against the Dallas Mavericks (Sportsnet ONE, Sportsnet+, 6 p.m. ET \/ 3 p.m. PT), the team announced.<\/p>\n

He was previously listed as questionable on Saturday due to an illness.<\/p>\n

Ingram entered Thursday’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves \u2014 a 115-107 loss for Toronto \u2014 also listed as questionable, but that was because of a left thumb sprain. The 28-year-old ultimately played and put up 14 points, five rebounds, two assists, and a steal on 5-of-16 shooting.<\/p>\n

For the season, Ingram is averaging a team-best 21.9 points per game to go with 5.7 rebounds and 3.8 assists while shooting 37.3 per cent from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n

The former second-overall pick is in his first full season with the Raptors after he was acquired at last year’s NBA trade deadline and later extended on a three-year deal. Ingram has only missed two games through 2025-26 thus far.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Raptors ruled out forward\u00a0Collin Murray-Boyles<\/a>\u00a0for Sunday due to a left thumb sprain. It’ll be the rookie’s fourth consecutive absence as a result of the lingering injury and 11th since it first began bothering him in late December.<\/p>\n

Murray-Boyles, the ninth overall pick in 2025, is averaging 7.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists through 47 games (22 starts) this season.<\/p>\n

Toronto will also be without two-way players Chucky Hepburn, Alijah Martin and A.J. Lawson, and sophomore forward Jonathan Mogbo, who’s on assignment with the G League’s Raptors 905.<\/p>\n

On the Mavericks’ side, rookie phenom Cooper Flagg is also available to play after he entered the day with a questionable designation due to a left midfoot injury. The 19-year-old No. 1 overall pick is averaging 20.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game through 51 appearances this season.<\/p>\n

The fifth-seeded Raptors (35-27) will be looking to bounceback from back-to-back losses against the 12-seed Mavericks (21-42), who are on a six-game skid of their own. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After facing some uncertainty entering the day, the Toronto Raptors will have the services of their leading scorer,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":511860,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[64],"tags":[355,99],"class_list":["post-511859","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-nba","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/511859","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=511859"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/511859\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/511860"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=511859"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=511859"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=511859"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
