Former UNC basketball star records triple-double on Friday night

Key Highlights

• Ingram is now also the G League's active leader in rebounds per game (12.8). The San Antonio Spurs made Ingram a second round selection in the 2024 NBA Draft, choosing him 48th overall.
• Ingram spends most of his time in the G League, but recently received an NBA call-up. In San Antonio's Saturday night, 139-122 victory over the Sacramento Kings, Ingram played four minutes, scoring two points on his lone shot and dishing out one assist. Ingram averaged 12.2 points, 8.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game during his lone season at UNC, quickly proving himself as a key starter.
• Ingram gave the Tar Heels a rare find in today's game: a small forward who could step out and nail threes, handle the basketball efficiently, slam home thunderous dunks and lock down the opposing ball-handler.
