The New Orleans Pelicans received a considerable boost Wednesday night as they fought for their playoff lives in the Western Conference. A big 113-106 win over the Dallas Mavericks kept 10th-seeded New Orleans within striking distance of the bottom four playoff teams in the conference standings.
But guard Brandon Ingram perhaps weirdly took some of his mid-game celebrations a little too far.
While Ingram was seated next to teammate Jose Alvarado on the bench, he leaned after doing a shimmy and proceeded to bite Alvarado’s shoulder. Not only was the bite itself weird, Ingram lingered a little bit before Alvarado pushed him away out of pain.

Uh, that certainly happened, didn’t it?
I don’t want to ascribe malicious intent to this because Ingram and Alvarado are teammates. But it’s still kind of jarring to see another human being just … bite someone else … for fun?
I guess if that chemistry mix works for the Pelicans, they shouldn’t change it up. I mean, they should, but they (meaning, Ingram) probably wouldn’t listen to me.
