Per the NBA's Concussion Policy, Ingram must go through the return-to-participation process, which can begin no earlier than 24 hours from the time of injury.

The return-to-participation process includes a series of steps designed to ensure an athlete exhibits symptom-free behavior before resuming full basketball activities.

Last night, Ingram collided with teammate Naji Marshall when attempting to steal a pass.

Although the player came back to the court during the second quarter, Ingram's appearance didn't last even a minute as he had to check himself out and went straight to the locker room.

Pelicans star is averaging 22.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 4.0 assists over three games this season.
