What started off as a “pinch” under Brandon Ingram’s armpit soon developed
into something more sinister.
Inspection by the Lakers’ medical staff in early March revealed a Deep
Venuous Thrombosis — also known as a blot clot — in his right arm.
The news hit Ingram with some extra heft due to the recent saga of Chris
Bosh, whose career ended at 31 years old due to a blood clot discovered in
his leg in 2016.
“When I initially heard about it, I was kind of worried,” Ingram said at
his end of season interview on Wednesday. “I heard people talk about the
Chris Bosh thing. I think people around me kept me grounded, kept me smiling.
“… I didn’t have anything related to Chris Bosh, really. I think his was a
little bit worse. I think in my situation I’m happy that we caught it early.
It was planned out to where I could be healthy a little bit earlier.”
IG在三月初的时候诊断出血栓的问题，而前一位NBA类似的球员就是Bosh
一开始IG对此很担心，很多人也讨论到Bosh但也不断鼓舞IG。最后结果也是万幸
IG的情况跟Bosh差很多，Bosh的情形更严重，IG则因非常早期发现而状况良好。
Ingram was initially diagnosed with a “sore right shoulder” in early March,
and he didn’t foresee how the magnitude of his condition would grow.
In fact, he joked that he was worried that coach Luke Walton would razz him
for being “soft” for complaining of soreness.
“When we were going through all these tests, I didn’t think it would be
something that serious,” he said. “I just kinda woke up and my arm was
kinda tight. Couldn’t lift it over my shoulder.”
A few days later, Ingram found himself at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical
Center, where he underwent thoracic outlet decompression surgery — a
procedure that involves removing part of his rib in order to excise the clot.
IG还开玩笑说担心我疼会认为他因为不舒服而抱怨觉得他很软弱。在一连串检查时，
他原先没想到可能如此严重，因为就只是举不起来手啊(这够严重了吧...)
最后IG进UCLA医疗中心进行去除手术
Ingram’s post-surgery activity has been minimal, primarily because the
process required him to be on blood thinners.
“I’ve caught myself relaxing a little bit too much,” Ingram laughed. “
Just laying around the house after surgery.”
Lethargy is a new feeling for Ingram, who prides himself on his dedication to
basketball, often saying that he has few, if any, hobbies outside of the game.
Ingram — who said he spends eight hours a day working on hoops — hasn’t
even picked up a basketball in over a month.
“I couldn’t pick up anything with my right arm,” Ingram said. “I’m still
limited to pick up certain things. I couldn’t breathe really well. Every
time I sneezed and coughed, I felt it in my chest and in my back. The
recovery has took its toll.”
IG术后所有行动都要最小化，因为吃抗凝血剂。IG自嘲自己放松过头了
因为只能一直躺在病床上。IG只能一直昏睡，而且他除了篮球就没事情做了...
他也超过一个月没碰篮球，右手不能做任何事情，呼吸也不顺，因为胸部会痛。
Ingram’s support system has been his key during this trying time.
He credits his teammates for surrounding him with positivity; his coaching
staff for making him “a tougher person, tougher basketball player every
single day”; and Lakers fans for wishing him a successful recovery when they
see him in public.
“We get so caught up in so much of the negativity,” Ingram said. “Just to
see the positives and see everyone around us saying positive things, I think
that was good for me.”
IG的队友与家人都在鼓舞他，教练团也在鼓励他，球迷也不断激励他。
这些正面乐观的氛围真的很棒。
When Ingram — who is expected to make a full recovery before the start of
next season — does return, he’ll look to regain the star form he was
playing in before the clot.
In six games post-All-Star Break, the 21-year-old absolutely dominated,
averaging 27.8 points and 7.5 rebounds while shooting 57.0 percent from the
field.
To Ingram, it was as simple as learning to stop overthinking his approach.
“During the whole season it was different changes of mind sets of how I
could be effective on this team, how I could fit in, whatever it was,”
Ingram said. “Then I just tried to just go in the game and play basketball.
Play basketball and go have fun. Nothing was [forced] with what I was doing.”
IG尝试很多办法去融合队友，最后直接不想了，就是打球
One of the youngest players in his draft class, Ingram is far from a finished
product. While he thrived on attacking the basket and splashing fadeaways,
the North Carolina native still has plenty of room to grown when it comes to
his physique and shooing.
“I’ve seen some special things that I didn’t know he had,” 17-year
veteran Tyson Chandler said. “… Sometimes he’d make a play and I’d think,
‘Just wait until he gets a little stronger and it’s going to be every time
he gets down the court.”
老钱评价IG：他有时会做一些...很特别的事情，他只需要更壮一点
那他将掌控球场。
Although Ingram’s blood clot cost him the final 29 games of the season and
an uncertain amount of his offseason, it has brought him a greater
appreciation for where he is as a person.
“It’s given me a better perspective on life itself,” Ingram said. “
Without basketball, I’d have no idea what to do. It just brings a little
added motivation. Don’t take for granted things.
IG认为这次的伤病让他更了解生命，没有篮球他不知道该怎么办，这让他对于
一切更加的感恩。
IG加油，祝你满血回归，下一季成为全明星吧!!!!
