Toronto Raptors forward Brandon Ingram will miss Game 7 against the Cleveland Cavaliers with a heel injury.
Ingram was seen in a walking boot during the Raptors’ shootaround Sunday morning, reports TSN’s Josh Lewenberg.
“We’ve gotta dig very deep. We’ve gotta find a way. If we lose the game tonight, there’s no practice tomorrow, there is not another game tomorrow. So, we’ve gotta (find) our last energy tonight,” head coach Darko Rajakovic said before the game.
Starting guard Immanuel Quickley hasn’t played in the playoffs due to an injury.
