"Brandon Ingram's injury is frightening news for Raptors fans, as their team now needs to win two straight games to avoid elimination. Toronto is going to need Ingram's shot-making ability to win the remaining games of the series."
"Entering Game 5, Ingram was averaging 14.8 points and just 2.3 assists while shooting 33.9% from the field. None of that changes who Ingram is: a multi-time All-Star and one of the best tough shot-makers in the league."
"Losing Ingram would likely doom the Raptors against a deep and experienced Cavaliers team. The most obvious player who would need to step up is Toronto's other All-Star, Scottie Barnes."
The Toronto Raptors suffered a critical loss in Game 5 against the Cavaliers, highlighted by Brandon Ingram's injury. Ingram aggravated a heel injury and did not return, raising concerns for the team's chances of winning. Toronto needs Ingram's scoring ability to avoid elimination, as he is a multi-time All-Star known for tough shot-making. Without him, the Raptors face difficulties against a strong Cavaliers team. Scottie Barnes may need to step up in Ingram's absence, but the pressure on him is considerable.
