He had 14 points, four rebounds and three assists in 21 minutes before exiting.
Ingram will be re-evaluated in two weeks and will miss at least eight games. The Pelicans (42-27) entered Friday as the fifth seed in the Western Conference.
Ingram, 26, is averaging 20.9 points, 5.8 assists and 5.1 rebounds in 63 starts this season. He's the team's second-leading scorer behind Zion Williamson.
Ingram, who made the All-Star team in 2019-20, averages 19.4 points per game for his career.
The No. 2 overall pick in the 2016 draft by the Los Angeles Lakers, Ingram is in his fifth season with the Pelicans.
