NBA/Pelicans Unwilling to Offer Max Contract to Keep Ingram Amid Poor Fit with Zion Williamson

Reported 10 months ago

The New Orleans Pelicans reportedly are reluctant to keep star forward Brandon Ingram due to his poor on-court chemistry with Zion Williamson, leading to speculations of major roster changes in the offseason. Ingram's five-year, $158 million contract is set to expire next summer, but the team seems hesitant to offer an early extension, with potential talks of trading him already surfacing. Ingram's strong regular-season stats have been overshadowed by a lackluster playoff performance, and the front office believes the pairing with Williamson hasn't been effective. The possibility of parting ways with Ingram would mark a setback to the team's 2019 Anthony Davis trade, with Lonzo Ball and Josh Hart also no longer with Pelicans due to subsequent trades.
