The Golden State Warriors have officially announced the signing of a $153 million star player, Brandon Ingram, marking a significant addition to their roster. The New Orleans Pelicans All-Star will be joining the Warriors as they continue to solidify their position as title contenders in the highly competitive Western Conference.
Ingram, a former No. 2 overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, has consistently demonstrated his scoring ability, averaging over 20 points per game in recent seasons. With a five-year, $153 million contract nearing its end, the Warriors saw an opportunity to add a versatile and experienced scorer to their lineup.
Warriors management, after considering their options, decided that Ingram’s offensive prowess and potential to thrive in their system outweighed concerns about his injury history. Despite his limited playoff success with the Pelicans, Golden State believes Ingram can elevate his game on the championship stage alongside Stephen Curry and Draymond Green.
Though some skeptics had questioned whether the Warriors would target Ingram due to his injury history and lack of deep playoff runs, the team’s front office feels confident in the move. The Warriors have been searching for a player who can complement Curry and provide another scoring threat, and Ingram’s ability to create his own shot fits that mold.

While Ingram has faced criticism for being injury-prone, he has proven to be a consistent scorer when healthy. His addition to the Warriors will give them another dynamic offensive weapon, making them an even more formidable force in the upcoming season.
Ingram has expressed excitement about joining the Warriors, stating, “I’m ready for a fresh start and to compete at the highest level. Golden State’s winning culture and my desire to win a championship align perfectly.”
This signing is part of the Warriors’ ongoing efforts to maximize the remaining years of the Stephen Curry era and return to championship glory.
With Ingram on board, Golden State now has a chance to build upon its already star-studded lineup and make a serious push for the NBA title.
