Ingram has played in 52 games this season and has averaged 18.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and three assists. In their game Saturday night against the Boston Celtics, the Lakers will be without Ingram, Lonzo Ball and Tyson Chandler .The best, most interesting and strangest stories of the day from the L.A. sports scene and beyond.
