Magic’s Gordon clears concussion protocol, available Tuesday

Brandon Ingram passed on a four-year, $160 million contract extension offer from the New Orleans Pelicans, sources tell Jake Fischer. Last week, Ingram was traded by the Pelicans to the Toronto Raptors. This week, Ingram signed a three-year, $120 million extension with the Raptors. Ingram will receive the same annual average with the Raptors of $40 million, but he has a player option for 27-28 that could allow him to test free agency a year early.

Ingram was widely shopped by the Pelicans over the past few months, but the Raptors and Atlanta Hawks were the only teams to really pursue him.

The Raptors reset their team around Scottie Barnes over the past 14 months by trading out OG Anunoby and Pascal Siakam while bringing in Immanuel Quickley, RJ Barrett and Ingram.

“They want to compete starting next year,” said one NBA figure with knowledge of the Raptors’ thinking.

The Boston Celtics will have to attempt to close out their third consecutive series without their starting center. Kristaps Porzingis was ruled out for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals due to a strained right calf.

The Celtics lead the Indiana Pacers 3-0, which means Boston can afford to play it safe with Porzingis. He’s been out since getting injured in Game 4 of the first round against the Miami Heat on April 29.

If Boston closes out Indiana in Game 4, their next game won’t be until Game 1 of the NBA Finals on June 6. If the Pacers win, the series shifts back to Boston and Porzingis could play in Game 5 on Wednesday, May 29.
