New Los Angeles Lakers member Andre Ingram got an awesome update to his Wikipedia page after making his long-awaited NBA debut.
Prior to Tuesday’s game against the Houston Rockets, the Lakers called up the 32-year-old Ingram from the G League’s South Bay Lakers for the final two games of the season. Ingram went undrafted in 2007 and has played professionally since, mostly in the NBA’s Developmental League, with the exception of a stint in Australia.
With Los Angeles without the services of Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, and Kyle Kuzma against Houston, the opportunity presented itself for Andre Ingram to get some playing time with the Lakers. Prior to checking in for the first time, Ingram received some love from Chris Paul.

Ingram also received quite the update to his Wikipedia page. Someone who edited his page changed the second sentence to say that Ingram is considered to be the “Greatest Laker to play the game since the retirement of Kobe Bryant.”

Ingram was the Lakers’ leading scorer at halftime with 11 points on 3-of-3 shooting in what was surely a lifelong dream finally coming true.
