The season for the New Orleans Pelicans may not have ended the way they or we wanted it to but there were a couple of bright spots. Perhaps the brightest spot this past season was newly acquired forward Brandon Ingram who came to New Orleans via the Anthony Davis trade from the Los Angeles Lakers.

On Monday, Ingram was officially awarded the Most Improved Player of the Year Award from the National Basketball Association via the New Orleans Pelicans on Twitter:

What a great set-up by Pelicans Owner Gayle Benson and having his family in the zoom call when he found out was incredible along with Lonzo Ball making an appearance as well.
