Another Durant?Brandon Ingram Will Go To Los Angeles Lakers

Two weeks before his basketball future is determined at the NBA draft, Ingram went through a full workout as part of a multiday introduction to the Lakers, a vaunted franchise rebuilding from its worst season.

Ingram gained 25 pounds during his year at Duke, and he plans to keep adding mass.
