New Orleans Pelicans all-star forward Brandon Ingram has sustained a concussion and has been placed in the league's concussion protocol, the team announced Monday
Ingram sustained the injury during the first quarter of the team's 129-123 overtime loss to the Utah Jazz on Sunday night.
Per the NBA’s Concussion Policy, Ingram must go through the return-to-participation process, which can begin no earlier than 24 hours from the time of injury. The return-to-participation process includes a series of steps designed to ensure an athlete exhibits symptom free behaviour before resuming full basketball activities. There is no timeframe to complete the process, as each injury and player is different and recovery time can vary in each case.
Ingram is averaging 22 points, 5.7 rebounds and four assists in his three appearances so far in the 2022-23 season.
