Brandon Ingram Posts Instagram Story in Reaction to Being Traded to the Pelicans
By Karl Rasmussen
Brandon Ingram's Saturday afternoon probably didn't go down as expected for the 21-year-old wingman.
When he woke up in the morning, Ingram was a member of the Lakers, but fast forward to mid-day, and his whole word was flipped when he found out he was to be shipped to New Orleans as part of the blockbuster trade for Anthony Davis.
He took to Instagram to share his reaction to the swap of scenery coming his way.

The trade should come as no surprise to Ingram, who has been subject to various trade talks since the middle of last season. The Lakers were not shy in their desire to lockdown some star talent, and as expected, no deal would be complete without the inclusion of the former No. 2 overall pick.

It will be interesting to see how Ingram continues his career development in New Orleans, as he will be reunited with Julius Randle and will be joined by Lakers' teammates Lonzo Ball and Josh Hart.
