New Year's resolution for Ingram: 'some fresh legs'

LOS ANGELES _ Brandon Ingram smiled and shook his head at the thought of missing any more time with the injuries he suffered last week.

"No, I can't sit anymore," Ingram said.

If his legs feel on Wednesday like they did during Tuesday's practice, he won't have to. Ingram participated fully in practice, his first action since Friday, and "looked really good," coach Luke Walton said.

"I almost silly-fined him for looking so good today for not playing last night," Walton said, "but he was running around the court."

Said Ingram: "I feel great. I feel fine. We ran through a few things today, where we could go through a few plays, get some shots up and I felt fine."

Ingram sat out Saturday's game against Portland and Monday's game against Minnesota after he injured both of his quadriceps last week during the Lakers' two-game trip to Houston and Golden State.

Ingram said he will participate in shootaround before Wednesday's game against Memphis and see how his legs feel. Having been injured so rarely, this is new for the 20-year-old.

"I just try to listen to my body, I try to listen to my trainers and see what they have for me and just go through it," he said.

Because of that, his New Year's resolution is more like a wish.

"Some fresh legs," Ingram said. "Thinking November was a really, really, really good month for me. And I just want to try to get back to that speed of the game, and just be more effective."
