The one-time NBA All-Star and 2020 Most Improved Player has a significant high-grade, low ankle sprain and is expected to be done for an extended period, per ESPN . This piles on the Pelicans’ injury-riddled season, as they now stand at a Western Conference-worst 5-19 following Saturday’s loss to the Thunder. Ingram left with an ankle injury during the Pelicans’ 119-109 loss to the Thunders on Saturday. He exited after just 19 minutes of play, where his night ended with only five points. On the season, Ingram is averaging 22.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists per contest while shooting 46.5 percent from the field, 37.4 percent from 3-point range and 85.5 percent on free throws. At 18 games played, Ingram has already missed six other games on the year. This comes on the heels of the recent returns of starting guards Dejounte Murray and CJ McCollum. McCollum had been out with a thigh injury after playing four games but returned to action on November 25. Murray, who suffered a broken hand on opening night on Nov. 27, returned the game after McCollum’s return. Star forward Zion Williamson has been limited to six games this season due to a hamstring injury, and he’s scheduled to be re-evaluated later this month. And this past week, starting forward Herb Jones returned from a shoulder injury. Still, Ingram will be joining Williamson on the injury report, an ongoing list that also includes backup point guard Jose Alvarado and fellow backcourt standout Jordan Hawkins, both of whom were playing integral roles with the Pelicans before their setbacks.

8 Thanksgiving mistakes: Frozen or overcooked turkey, too many sides and other common holiday miscuesSyrians cheer end of 50 years of Assad rule at first Friday prayers since government fellShe's been at the centre of a lot of speculation this week, having erased every trace of I'm A Celebrity from her social media accounts and now Tulisa Contostavlos has confirmed she won't be at the final on Sunday night. In the first few days of the ITV show returning for a new series, with the N-Dubz singer and former X Factor judge in its line-up, Tulisa, 36, was seen a potential contender for victory; with viewers at home loving her double act with Alan Halsall in the launch episode, as they won the challenge to become the first leaders of camp. Tulisa continued to get a lot of positive comments online during the first two weeks of I'm A Celebrity' s latest run, despite not getting too much airtime; so it came as a bit of a surprise that she ended up being voted out so early, as the third star to be eliminated on Monday. Things then took a mysterious turn when Tulisa 'snubbed' the chance to be on I'm A Celeb spin-off Unpacked and also deleted all the I'm A Celebrity related posts from her Instagram grid. It was then reported that the star had clashed with two friends behind the scenes, included best pal Michelle McKenna who was there to greet her at the end of the bridge after her exit interview with Ant and Dec. Tulisa strenuously denied any claims of a fallout, telling press to 'leave her friends alone.' However, the plot thickened again on Sunday as, while she has now uploaded her I'm A Celebrity best bits to her Insta grid, she also used the platform to confirm she will play no part in the I'm A Celebrity final. The Londoner told fans: L"ooking back at some of my favourite moments from the @Imacelebrity jungle. It’s been a whirlwind. Thank you to @itv for the experience and sending so much love to my Jungle Fam before the final tonight. Sorry I can’t be there to celebrate with you all "
