The four-time MVP had a slow start with the Lakers but has found his feet now with Luke Walton’s men performing well.
Ingram is averaging 15.7 points per game this NBA season, down from his 16.1 ppg last year.
His rebounds and assists are also down this season while he’s playing a minute and a half less per game too.

But coach Walton insists he has not spoken with LeBron James over any long-term plans, and simply only on how they can maximise their potential for this year.
“We talk about the best route to get where we want to be at the end of this season,” Walton told reporters at Lakers practice.
“What’s the best way of getting there? We have those type of talks. As far as anything past this season, we don’t talk about it at all.”
