Despite dominant G League double-doubles, the former second-round pick hits unrestricted free agency as San Antonio clears roster space to evaluate new talent for their evolving rotation.
Just over two years removed from draft night, Stephon Castle remains the lone man standing from the San Antonio Spurs' 2024 class.
GM Brian Wright came away from the Barclays Center with Castle, Harrison Ingram and the draft rights to Juan Núñez.
While Castle has become a star in San Antonio, Núñez remains with FC Barcelona ... and Ingram just had his qualifying offer rescinded.
Per Spotrac's Keith Smith, the Spurs withdrew Ingram's qualifying offer on Tuesday, making him an unrestricted free agent.
Ingram, 23, was the 48th pick in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft from North Carolina and signed a two-way deal shortly after his selection. Coming out of college, Ingram was viewed as a prototypical three-and-D prospect.
Ingram was projected to become a combination of Josh Hart and Aaron Nesmith — and judging by his G League stats, the projection wasn't far off.
Despite standing at just 6-foot-6, Ingram averaged a double-double across two campaigns with the Austin Spurs, but his 32 appearances this past season provided plenty of reason for optimism.
It was also the likely reason San Antonio handed Ingram the qualifying offer in the first place.
In 2025-26, Ingram poured in 16.8 points, 12.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.8 stocks per game on a highly efficient 54.8% from the field.
Ingram also knocked down 33.3% of his 3.6 three-point attempts per game, further solidifying his pre-draft scouting report.
The production dropped, however, once Ingram wasn't playing against G League talent.
Across two seasons in San Antonio, Ingram saw just 12 appearances and never managed to get his success in Austin to carry over to the Spurs' active roster.
Seven of those appearances came in 2025-26, resulting in 1.6 points and .04 rebounds per game. Ingram also converted his lone three-point attempt of the season in a 125-92 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Oct. 22.
Given the direction the Spurs are headed ... it seems there just wasn't room on the roster for Ingram anymore. While the G League success was evident, he wasn't able to translate it to the highest level.
And as guys like RJ Davis battle in Summer League for a shot at securing one of San Antonio's elusive two-way openings, the organization appears to believe that spot would be better suited for someone other than Ingram.
