Brandon Ingram Rumors

“It is for my hair, to keep my hair down,” Ingram, 22, said. “It’s something I used to do when I was little when I had braids. I liked to rock the durags. I had waves so I rocked the durag to keep my hair down.”

Owner Akram Abdul, who said he is a casual basketball fan, didn’t recognize the 6-foot-9-inch forward when he came to the store in September. “It is great that he came in here, but I don’t know him. He never mentioned to me that he is a player,” Abdul said. “Once a coach from the New York Knicks came in twice. I told him, ‘Whatever you take, consider it free. It was a pleasure to have him in the store.’ … But this Pelicans player didn’t even mention it to me.”
