The Pelicans hosted an open practice at the Smoothie King Center on Sunday afternoon in New Orleans and Brandon Ingram made quite an entrance.
Ingram, who averaged 24.7 points per game for the Pelicans last season, is one of the most important players in the organization for New Orleans. But he helped keep a very light tone in front of the fans over the weekend as he entered the arena while wearing a very silly hot dog costume.
The former No. 2 overall pick seemed tickled by his decision to dress up in such an absurd outfit. Ingram was seen smiling and pointing to the fans as he made his way onto the court.

Look at how much fun he is having out there!
Here is another angle of Ingram wearing the suit, captured in the tunnel:

Ingram wasn’t the only player on the Pelicans to rock this look, though.
EJ Liddell and Jordan Hawkins were also wearing hot dog suits on Sunday.
It happens to everyone, EJ 😂 pic.twitter.com/GOEREatABe
