Undergoes heel surgery
Ingram underwent successful surgery Friday to address ongoing heel pain, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Analyse
A heel spur was removed during the surgery, and Ingram is expected to fully recover and be ready for training camp in September. This heel injury prevented Ingram from playing in the final two games of Toronto's playoff series against the Cavaliers, but by addressing it early in the offseason, his status for 2026-27 won't be in any doubt.

Officially ruled out for Game 7
Ingram (heel) is listed as out for Sunday's Game 7 of the Eastern Conference first-round series against Cleveland, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
Ingram was recently spotted in a walking boot, so his lack of availability for Sunday's elimination game isn't surprising. His return timeline remains murky, meaning he isn't a lock to return for the Eastern Conference Semifinals, assuming Toronto manages to advance. While Ingram is off the floor, Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett are anticipated to continue doing most of the heavy lifting offensively, with Jamal Shead in line to remain in the starting lineup.

Unlikely to play Game 7
Ingram (heel) has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful for Sunday's Game 7 of the first-round Eastern Conference playoff series against Cleveland, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Analyse
It looks like Ingram will miss the final two games of the series due to a right heel injury that cropped up in Game 5. Jamal Shead should stay in Toronto's starting lineup for Game 7, and the Raptors will need more scoring from other role players like Ja'Kobe Walter, Jamison Battle and A.J. Lawson in Ingram's absence.

Wears walking boot in shootaround
Ingram (heel) was in a walking boot during morning shootaround ahead of Sunday's Game 7 against the Cavaliers, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Analyse
Ingram has been hampered by inflammation in his right heel, which limited him to just 11 minutes in Game 5 and sidelined him entirely for Game 6. The veteran forward is considered questionable for Game 7, but he would need to pass several tests during pregame warmups in order to be cleared to play. If Ingram is ruled out, then Jamal Shead would likely stay in the Raptors' starting five.

Questionable for Game 7
Ingram (heel) is questionable for Sunday's Game 7 of the Eastern Conference first-round series against Cleveland, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Analyse
Ingram logged only 11 minutes in Game 5 and wasn't able to suit up for Game 6. He was spotted wearing a walking boot Friday, which isn't an encouraging sign regarding his availability for the must-win contest. If Ingram remains sidelined Sunday, Jamal Shead is expected to remain in the starting lineup.
