Brandon Ingram didn't play in Game 6 with the Toronto Raptors' season on the line.
Heel discomfort kept Ingram out due to injury, but the Raptors pulled out an overtime victory on a miraculous bounce to get RJ Barrett's pivotal 3-pointer to drop through the hoop.
So now what do they do for Game 7 on Sunday?
The problem stems, in part, from the fact that Ingram hasn't been very good in the postseason so far.
He's shooting 32.8% from the floor, averaging 12.0 points per game on high shot volume while only having a 2.2-to-2.0 assist-to-turnover ratio.
The Raptors have been hurt by Ingram, not helped.

It's confusing, though, because during the regular season Ingram was Toronto's leading scorer at 21.5 points per game. He dished out 3.7 assists per contest, as well, and was much more efficient.
The dilemma is not knowing what version of Ingram you might get for Game 7, particularly if he's still not fully healthy.
