Forward Brandon Ingram was in a walking boot during the Toronto Raptors’ shootaround Sunday morning as they prepare to face the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 7, reports TSN’s Josh Lewenberg.

Ingram was officially downgraded to doubtful with right heel inflammation early Sunday afternoon.

Lewenberg reported previously that Ingram was in a walking boot on Saturday as well. Ingram only played 11 minutes and scored one point before leaving Wednesday’s Game 5 with the injury and did not play in Game 6 as the Raps won in overtime to force Sunday’s decider.

The Duke product has struggled against the Cavs all series long, averaging just 12 points alongside a 32.8 field goal percentage over five games.

Ingram was named an All-Star in 2025-26 as he averaged 21.5 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists over 77 games in his first season with the team.

The winner of the Raptors and Cavs series will play the winner of the Detroit Pistons and Orlando Magic, who play a Game 7 of their own Sunday evening.
