If the Toronto Raptors are going to stave off elimination in Game 6 against the Cleveland Cavaliers, they'll have to do so without Brandon Ingram.
The 10th-year forward is listed as doubtful tonight, according to ESPN's Jamal Collier, after injuring his heel during Game 5 in Cleveland. He's currently dealing with right heel inflammation.
Ingram has struggled mightily in the playoffs after a strong regular season. Across five postseason games so far, he's averaged 12 points and shot 32.8% from the field, while his free throw percentage, rebounds and assists have also dipped.
The foot has been limiting Ingram long before Game 5. He missed three games during the regular season's final month because of a foot injury, and Toronto coach Darko Rajaković admitted Wednesday's injury was a reaggravation.
Assuming Ingram can't go, Toronto will be down two starters as point guard Immanuel Quickley will miss the entire series with a hamstring injury suffered during the regular-season finale.
The Raptors have fought through some tough injury luck to give the Cavaliers a sweat in Round 1. They'll have a chance to force a Game 7 in Cleveland if they can pull out a win in Toronto tonight.
