Toronto Raptors forward Brandon Ingram is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic due to a heel injury. Ingram struggled in the team's previous game against the New Orleans Pelicans, and with backup guard Immanuel Quickley also sidelined, the Raptors may need to turn to other players like Ja'Kobe Walter and Jamal Shead to fill the void if Ingram is unable to play.

Why it matters

Ingram is a key player for the Raptors, and his potential absence could significantly impact the team's chances against the Magic. The Raptors are fighting for playoff positioning, so any missed games from their star players could be costly.

With Quickley also out due to a foot injury, the Raptors may need to rely on Walter and Shead to step up in the starting lineup if Ingram is unable to play.
