Sources: Pels’ Ingram to sign with Klutch agency
New Orleans Pelicans star forward Brandon Ingram, currently set to be the top offseason free agent, is signing with Klutch Sports Group, sources told ESPN on Sunday.
Ingram recently made the decision to sign with the Rich Paul-led Klutch Sports Group, and now his future comes into greater focus on and off the floor.
The Pelicans and Ingram were unable to reach a contract extension or a trade elsewhere during the offseason.
“Brandon wants to stay here. … At the same time, there is a financial reality that we all deal with,” Pelicans executive vice president David Griffin said in late June.
Ingram, 27, has this season at $36 million left on his contract and becomes a free agent in the summer. The 2020 NBA All-Star is averaging 22.9 points, 5.8 rebounds and 5.4 assists this season but is currently sidelined with right calf soreness.
Ingram, the No. 2 overall pick of the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2016 draft, was previously represented by Excel Sports Management.
