Brandon Ingram is going viral again, but not because of another water bottle
Brandon Ingram is not very popular with fans right now. Last weekend, during Toronto Raptors‘ 119-109 shot of Ingram kicking a water bottle in anger from the sideline. The The Raptors forward hit a match follower with a water bottle and sprayed him, which was unfortunate in itself. But he decided to double down on this by not apologizing. The NBA fined him $25,000 for this outburst.
But with Ingram having two full days off to clear his head, he appears to be in a much better frame of mind for the Raptors. The fact that his significant other, famous rapper GloRilla, was in attendance for their 119-109 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday seemed to help Ingram relax a little.
Ingram even shared a fun moment with his partner after the game. Now, the Raptors forward is going viral for the right reasons as he patiently taught GloRilla what to do their signature handshake as a boyfriend/girlfriend must be.

Everything was going right for Ingram on Tuesday, which is quite a contrast from where his head was last Saturday. He led the Raptors with 25 points and also helped his team earn its sixth win of the season in 11 contests. And to end the night at the Barclays Center with some his girlfriend’s celebratory affection? That must be good for the 28-year-old striker.
Ingram and the Raptors will look to continue their winning ways on Thursday when they face a Cleveland Cavaliers team for the second night of back-to-back games.
The Raptors want to make it work in a weakened East
The Raptors, somehow, have one of the most expensive rosters in the league. This suggests that they are under pressure to at least play winning basketball and qualify for the playoffs, especially in a weakened Eastern Conference.
Their starting five is solid, with Scotty Barnes, Immanuel Quickley, RJ Barrett and Jakob Poltl joining Ingram. The second unit is filled with youthful fervor, led by recent lottery picks Colin Murray-Boyles and Grady Dick. And a 6-5 start is promising enough for a team that won just 30 games last year.
