Pelicans: Brandon Ingram out multiple weeks with hyperextension, contusion

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram will miss weeks of action as the final stretch of the regular season approaches.

The team announced Friday that former All-Star underwent an MRI after hyperextending his left knee during the third quarter of Thursday’s road defeat against the Orlando Magic. The results of the MRI revealed a left knee bone contusion.

Ingram will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

New Orleans (42-27) is fifth in the NBA Western Conference.
