Los Angeles Clippers forward Brandon Ingram is making surprising progress in his recovery from offseason Achilles surgery, according to team reports.
The 26-year-old has returned to full-contact 5-on-5 practices and is edging closer to a return to game action.
Ingram underwent surgery during the offseason to repair the Achilles tendon, and his rehabilitation has advanced faster than initially expected.
The Clippers have not yet provided a specific timeline for his season debut, but his participation in full practices is a positive sign for the team's playoff aspirations.
