Brandon Ingram's arrival in Toronto was a long time coming, but the star forward is making every moment count. After being acquired by the Raptors over a year ago, Ingram has exploded onto the court this 2025-26 season, immediately validating the team's patience with a historic scoring spree.
The smooth-shooting wing has officially set the Toronto Raptors' all-time record for most points scored in a player's debut season with the franchise. According to Sportsnet, Ingram has poured in 1,606 points and counting, surpassing the previous mark of 1,604 set by Mike James back in the 2005-06 campaign. Notably, this pushes the iconic Kawhi Leonard (1,596 points in 2018-19) to third on the list.
This isn't just a case of high volume, however. Ingram is scoring with remarkable efficiency, posting averages of 21.5 points per game on 47.4% shooting from the field, 38.2% from beyond the arc, and 82.6% from the free-throw line—all improvements on his career numbers. The 6'8" former No. 2 overall pick is contributing across the board, adding 5.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and solid defensive stats, showcasing the well-rounded game that makes him so dangerous.
For a Raptors franchise still building its identity post-championship, Ingram's immediate impact and record-setting consistency are a massive boost. His ability to create his own shot and score at all three levels has provided the offensive cornerstone the team needed. As Toronto looks to solidify its playoff positioning, all eyes will be on BI to see if he can carry this electrifying form into the postseason and write the next chapter in Raptors history.
