Raptors all-star Brandon Ingram downgraded to doubtful for Game 6 vs. Cavaliers

May 1, 2026 | 9:18 AM

TORONTO — The Toronto Raptors have downgraded Brandon Ingram from questionable to doubtful for tonight’s playoff game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Cleveland leads the best-of-seven series 3-2.

Ingram left midway through the second quarter of Wednesday’s 125-120 Game 5 loss to the Cavaliers.

The two-time all-star aggravated inflammation in his right heel during that game and the Raptors say it has not improved despite a day of rest.

Ingram was averaging 14.8 points in the series and was coming off a 23-point effort in Toronto’s Game 4 victory on Sunday.

He averaged a team-high 21.5 points in the regular season while playing in 77 games, the second most of his career.
