NEW ORLEANS -- New Orleans Pelicans high-scoring wing Brandon Ingram, who has missed 12 games with a left knee contusion, is returning for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Ingram has averaged 20.9 points in 63 games this season. Coach Willie Green said Ingram could be on a moderate minutes restriction in his first game action since March 21.

Green was gratified to see Ingram return for at least one game before the Pelicans enter the postseason.

"For timing and rhythm for the team, it was important to get him back as soon as possible," Green said before tipoff.
