As much as UNC fans love Ingram's game and what he was able to do in just one season as a Tar Heel, he decided to enter this upcoming NBA draft, per his tweet on X (formerly Twitter).
"Throughout my life, playing in the NBA has always been a main dream of mine, and with that, I am excited to announce that I am officially declaring for the 2024 NBA Draft," his message said.
The versatile four-man began his career at Stanford before entering the portal and joining Carolina this past year. His contributions were tremendous on North Carolina's road to becoming a No. 1 seed in the big dance. On top of helping the Heels win the ACC regular-season championship by beating Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Ingram completed the season averaging 12.2 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 2.2 assists, in addition to 43 percent from the field. An absolute stellar scorer who can play on the inside and stretch the floor beyond the arc.
However, after not initially mentioning it, Ingram will maintain his eligibility, opening the door for a return to UNC-Chapel Hill.
