Despite Team USA's opening 99-72 victory over New Zealand in the FIBA World Cup, Brandon Ingram voiced his frustration over lack of playing time in an interview with Joe Vardon of The Athletic on Sunday.
The talented NBA power forward, who averaged a career-high 24.7 points per game last season with New Orleans, is unhappy with his playing time in the international competition.
“This is totally different than what I am used to,” Ingram told Vardon. “The team is winning right now, so I can’t be selfish thinking about myself. But it’s a little frustrating right now for me, and I’m just trying to figure out ways I can be effective.”
