He'll receive $40M a year on the deal, which has a player option for the 2027-28 season. The agreement fends off Ingram's pending free agency, and seems to be a team-friendly deal, as Ingram had wanted out of New Orleans because he had wanted a max five-year contract worth over $260 million.

The Pelicans were forced to deal the former All-Star before losing him for nothing this summer, and the Raptors swooped in at the trade deadline.

Ingram will now join the young, growing Toronto core with Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley, and RJ Barrett. Brighter days ahead for the Raptors, who are mired in a 16-37 season, which is 5th from the bottom in the NBA standings, giving them at least some shot at trying to win the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes at this year's Draft Lottery.

Ingram has been out of action for two months due to a severely sprained ankle. He has battled injury problems throughout his career, playing in as many as 64 games only once in the last eight seasons. But he's also averaged over 22 points and five assists per game over the last six years, when he has played, while shooting the 3-ball at a solid clip of about 37% over that time.
