New Orleans forward Brandon Ingram sustained a knee injury that caused him to leave Thursday’s loss at Orlando in the third quarter. On Friday’s official injury report ahead of a 7 p.m. Central game at Miami (Bally Sports, WRNO 99.5 FM), Ingram joins a total of five Pelicans players who are listed as out. That group includes Ingram (left knee bone contusion), Dyson Daniels (left knee meniscectomy), Malcolm Hill (G League two-way), E.J. Liddell (G League on assignment) and Dereon Seabron (G League two-way).
Miami is listing starting center and third-leading scorer Bam Adebayo (back) as questionable. Three players who appeared in the Heat’s Feb. 23 victory in the Smoothie King Center are out, including second-leading scorer Tyler Herro (foot), Duncan Robinson (back) and Kevin Love (heel).
