Clippers Get Brutal Brandon Ingram Injury News After Kawhi Leonard Trade
The Clippers said Ingram has a partially torn Achilles and underwent heel surgery, leaving his return timeline unclear.
- On Monday, September 28, 2026, the Los Angeles Clippers announced that forward Brandon Ingram will miss the October 21 season opener due to a partially torn Achilles tendon discovered during offseason heel surgery.
- Interim president of basketball operations Trent Redden revealed the partial tear was found in May, distinguishing it from a full rupture that typically requires nine months of recovery.
- Redden stated recovery is about six months, significantly shorter than a full tear. Ingram struggled with heel inflammation late last season, forcing him to miss the final two playoff games against Cleveland.
- The Clippers will face the Sacramento Kings on October 21 without Ingram and will re-evaluate his status once the regular season begins to determine a return timeline.
- Beyond Ingram, Bradley Beal, Yanic Konan Niederhauser, and Jordan Miller are managing separate injuries heading into training camp, compounding the team's health challenges for the 2026-27 season.
