The Toronto Raptors are staring down a potential season-ending Game 7 without their biggest star. All-Star forward Brandon Ingram was spotted in a walking boot at Sunday morning's shootaround and has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful for the winner-take-all showdown against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Ingram has been sidelined since early in Game 5, when he suffered a left heel injury just 11 minutes into the contest. That game ended in a loss, putting the Raptors in a 3-2 series hole. But Toronto showed incredible resilience in Game 6, grinding out an overtime win without their leading scorer to force a decisive seventh game.

Now, the Raptors face the daunting prospect of playing without the man who earned his second All-Star selection this season. Ingram has been the engine of Toronto's offense, averaging 21.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.7 assists while shooting an efficient 47.7% from the field and 38.2% from beyond the arc. His absence leaves a massive void in both scoring and playmaking.

If Ingram can't go, the Raptors will lean heavily on RJ Barrett and Scottie Barnes to carry the load. Barnes stepped up big in Friday's Game 6 victory, stuffing the stat sheet with 25 points, 14 assists, 7 rebounds, and 3 steals. Barrett and Ja'Kobe Walter each chipped in 24 points, while Jamal Shead—who replaced Ingram in the starting lineup—added 7 points and 6 assists despite a tough shooting night.

The stakes couldn't be higher. The winner of Sunday's game advances to the second round to face either the Detroit Pistons or Orlando Magic, while the loser heads home for the summer. Tipoff is set for 7:30 PM ET in Cleveland, and all eyes will be on Ingram's status right up until game time.
