Draymond Green views Brandon Ingram as key factor for Clippers this season

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green suggests Brandon Ingram can bolster his career profile by performing for the Los Angeles Clippers during the upcoming season. The Clippers face a rebuilding period after the league mandated the forfeiture of five first-round picks due to a salary cap circumvention scandal. Green expects Ingram and teammate Darius Garland to play with high intensity as they look to increase their market value for potential trades. Although the Clippers are currently not expected to deal Ingram, his contract includes a player option for the 2027-28 season. Green cautions other teams against overlooking the roster, noting the players may act as spoilers during the regular season while seeking personal opportunities.
