Ten days from now, Brandon Ingram will be suiting up to play a basketball game in the same arena where he’s performing tonight, the United Center in Chicago.
On Thursday, less than an hour before tip-off of the Ingram and the Pelicans visiting the Chicago Bulls, the first-year New Orleans forward learned the team he’ll be playing with Feb. 16 in the Windy City. In the annual All-Star player draft held on TNT’s pregame show, team captain Giannis Antetokounmpo selected Ingram.
