“Hopefully, there’s nothing wrong with him,” guard/forward Trey Murphy III told reporters.

Coach Willie Green said he had no updates immediately after the game.

Ingram, 26, is averaging 21.0 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.8 assists, shooting 49 percent from the field and 36 percent on 3-pointers in 62 games.
