New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram remains sidelined with no set timetable for his return to the court, according to Will Guillory.

Despite being cleared to begin individual on-court workouts, Ingram’s recovery process will continue with a gradual increase in intensity.

The Pelicans have already ruled Ingram out for the next two games against the Phoenix Suns and Portland Trail Blazers, indicating the cautious approach to his rehabilitation.

Ingram’s absence is felt deeply by the Pelicans, who are in contention for a top-six finish in the competitive Western Conference standings.

As the Pelicans strive for direct playoff qualification, every game is crucial in their pursuit of postseason success.

The Pelicans are currently positioned seventh in the West standings, trailing just one game behind the sixth-place Phoenix Suns.

Ingram’s production has been integral to the Pelicans’ success this season, averaging 20.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 5.8 assists per game.
