The one-year UNC basketball forward hasn't scored a point in the league yet, but it's likely only a matter of time.
Harrison Ingram will probably spend most of his rookie season playing for the San Antonio Spurs' G League affiliate, the Austin Spurs. But on Wednesday night, the 2023-24 UNC basketball force suited up for San Antonio in its 127-100 road defeat at the hands of the Houston Rockets .And Ingram, a Dallas native who came off the board No. 48 overall to the Spurs at the 2024 NBA Draft, was on the court against the Rockets for seven minutes late in the blowout loss.
Still, the fact he's already seeing the floor while on a two-way contract signals a good chance that he'll hear his number again before long. As for the Spurs' other UNC basketball product, veteran starting forward Harrison Barnes tallied only two points, one rebound, and one assist across his 18 minutes, shooting 1-for-4 from the field.
