Toronto Raptors forward Brandon Ingram has been ruled out of Game 5 against the Cleveland Cavaliers with right heel inflammation, according to TSN’s Kayla Grey.

Ingram came up hobbled midway through the second quarter, before heading to the locker room and not returning.

In 11 minutes before exiting, Ingram had one point, one rebound, and two assists on 0-for-2 shooting.

In a career high 77 regular season games this season, the 28-year-old averaged 21.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.7 assists, while shooting 47.7 per cent from the field and 38.2 per cent from distance.
