Toronto Raptors forward Brandon Ingram was seen in a walking boot during the team's shootaround on Sunday morning, several hours before Game 7 of the Eastern Conference first-round series against the host Cleveland Cavaliers.


Ingram initially was listed as questionable to play due to right heel inflammation. He was downgraded to doubtful when the NBA released its official injury report early in the afternoon.


An All-Star this season for the second time in his career, Ingram was limited to 11 minutes and scored one point in Toronto's 125-120 setback to Cleveland in Game 5 on Wednesday. He did not play in Toronto's 112-110 overtime victory in Game 6 on Friday.


During the regular season, the 28-year-old Ingram averaged a team-high 21.5 points over 77 games. He also averaged 5.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists and drilled 38.2% of his 3-point attempts.
