New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram has ramped up his activity, but there is still no timetable for when he may return. Ingram has been out since March 21, after suffering a bone bruise in his left knee.

Ingram has progressed to on-court workouts and has begun taking contact again. The Pelicans have already ruled him out for the team's game on Tuesday at the Portland Trail Blazers. That leaves three games for Ingram to potentially return before the end of the regular season.

New Orleans is in a battle for playoff positioning. After beating the Phoenix Suns on Sunday, the Pelicans pulled into a tie with the Suns for the sixth seed, and final assured playoff spot.
