🏀 NBA · Classic #276
Brandon Ingram
Brandon Ingram is a forward for the LA Clippers, in the Western Conference's Pacific Division. On puzzle day the answer wore No. 7, was listed at 6'8" and was 29 years old.
What the correct guess showed
| Team | Conf | Div | Pos | Ht | Age | # |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LAC | West | PAC | F | 6'8" | 29 | 7 |
- Career path: Los Angeles Lakers (2016–17 to 2018–19) → New Orleans Pelicans (2019–20 to 2024–25) → Toronto Raptors (2025–26) → LA Clippers (since 2026–27).
- Guessing a current teammate, such as Darius Garland, Kris Dunn, Keaton Wagler and Bradley Beal, turned the Team tile green.
- NBA positions match when they share a letter, so any guess listed as F, G-F or F-C turned the Pos tile green. The NBA Pos tile has no yellow.
