The Toronto Raptors have acquired Brandon Ingram from the New Orleans Pelicans in exchange for Bruce Brown Jr., Kelly Olynyk, a first-round pick, and a second-rounder, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania.

The Raptors are sending New Orleans the Indiana Pacers' 2026 first-rounder, which is top-four protected, TSN's Josh Lewenberg reports. The second-round pick is for 2031, according to Sportsnet's Michael Grange.

Toronto was reportedly neck-and-neck with the Atlanta Hawks for the All-Star forward's services.

Ingram hasn't played since Dec. 7 due to a high-grade low left ankle sprain. He's averaged 22.2 points, 5.6 boards, and 5.2 assists over 18 appearances this season.

Ingram is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer.

Meanwhile, Brown averaged 9.2 points, 3.8 boards, and 2.3 assists across 51 appearances over parts of two seasons with the Raptors. He's also set to hit the open market this offseason.

Olynyk tallied 10.2 points, 4.7 boards, and 3.6 assists since his acquisition from the Utah Jazz almost exactly a year ago. The veteran center is signed through the 2025-26 campaign.
