The Toronto Raptors have listed Ingram as questionable for Sunday’s winner-take-all game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the team announced Saturday.
Ingram was ruled out for the Raptors’ thrilling Game 6 win on Friday due to right heel inflammation. He was spotted in a walking boot after the game.
The star forward reaggravated the injury in the second quarter of Wednesday’s Game 5 road loss.
With one game off between Game 5 and Game 6, the Raptors said his heel did not improve despite a day of rest.
