Raptors’ Brandon Ingram leaves playoff game vs. Cavaliers with right heel inflammation

CLEVELAND (AP) — Toronto’s Brandon Ingram was sidelined with right heel inflammation during the first half of Game 5 of the Raptors’ first-round playoff series against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night.

Ingram has been dealing with the injury for a couple of weeks. Raptors trainers tried to retape his foot during the second quarter before Ingram was ruled out for the rest of the game.

Ingram was 0 for 2 from the field and had one point, one rebound and two assists in 11 minutes.

The All-Star forward was averaging 14.8 points in the series and was coming off a 23-point effort in the Raptors’ Game 4 victory on Sunday.

Ingram averaged 21.5 points while playing a career-high 77 games during the regular season.
