Ingram (heel) has been downgraded to doubtful for Friday's Game 6 against the Cavaliers, Jamal Collier of ESPN.com reports.

Ingram played only 11 minutes during Wednesday's Game 5 loss before taking a seat due to right heel inflammation. He was initially listed as questionable for Friday, but the star forward is now expected to sit out Toronto's do-or-die Game 6. A.J. Lawson started the second half in place of Ingram on Wednesday, but the former played only two minutes. Jamal Shead, Ja'Kobe Walter and Jamison Battle are candidates for increased roles, especially with Immanuel Quickley (hamstring) still sidelined.
