Raptors’ Ingram ruled out for Game 7 of first-round series with Cavs

CLEVELAND — The Toronto Raptors will be without forward Brandon Ingram for Game 7 of their NBA Eastern Conference quarterfinal with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The all-star forward was officially ruled out about 90 minutes before tipoff at Cleveland’s Rocket Arena.

Ingram had been seen in a walking boot at the team’s shootaround as he attempts to deal with inflammation in his right heel.

He aggravated a previous heel injury and left midway through the second quarter of Toronto’s 125-120 road loss in Game 5 on Wednesday.
