Revisiting biggest NBA moves of the summer

Brandon Ingram would like a bigger role with Team USA than the one he’s had so far this summer. But Ingram isn’t going to let that get in the way of the team’s success, even if it’s not what he envisioned.

“This is totally different than what I am used to,” Ingram told The Athletic Sunday. “The team is winning right now, so I can’t be selfish thinking about myself. But it’s a little frustrating right now for me, and I’m just trying to figure out ways I can be effective.”

Ingram has the ball a lot less with Team USA than in his role as the New Orleans Pelicans primary playmaker. That’s been an adjustment, but it’s one Ingram said he think can pay off in the NBA, as well.

“I know who I am,” Ingram said. “In ways, I can get stuck and think my way is the best way. This is a learning experience. … I get to see everybody work, get to see everybody’s strengths and everybody’s weaknesses, so I can take it back to my team, be smart about it.”

Giannis Antetokounmpo is not expected to be ready for the start of the Milwaukee Bucks’ first round series against the Indiana Pacers due to his left calf strain.

The Bucks are hopeful that Antetokounmpo will be able to return during the series based on his ongoing treatment.

Antetokounmpo was also limited during the Bucks’ first round series last season against the Miami Heat due to a back issue.
