Andre Ingram (born November 19, 1985) is an American professional basketball player for the South Bay Lakers of the NBA G League. He played college basketball for American University, where he finished his four-year career as the school's fifth all-time leading scorer with 1,655 points. He then spent four seasons with the Utah Flash between 2007 and 2011, earning the title of franchise's all-time leading scorer, and five seasons (two full and three partial) with the Los Angeles D-Fenders between 2012 and 2016. His 39/50 shooting in the NBA Development League's (now G-League's) 2016 Three-Point Contest is a record across the NBA and NBA G-League's Three-Point Contests. Ingram is the NBA G-League's career leader in three-point field goals, with 610.
Ingram was born and raised in Richmond, Virginia, and grew up in a tight-knit family of four. He loved basketball from an early age, and by the time he turned 12, he was beating his older brother by seven years, Lucius, in one-on-one.
Ingram attended Highland Springs High School in Highland Springs, Virginia, where he led the basketball team to the Group AAA championship as a senior in 2002–03, the first title in school history. That year, he averaged 22.8 points and 9.5 rebounds per game, while shooting 49 percent from three-point range. He was subsequently named the Associated Press Group AAA Player of the Year for his division. He left Highland Springs as a two-time Capital District Player of the Year and First-Team All-Metro, and as a senior was a First-Team All-State and First-Team All-Central Region pick.
As a freshman at American University in 2003–04, Ingram started in all 31 games and led the team with 13.6 points per game, which ranked fifth best in the league. He was subsequently named Patriot League Freshman of the Year, becoming the first American player to win the award. He had 16 points, five rebounds, two assists and two steals against Maryland on November 22, 2003 in his first collegiate game. On January 14, 2004, he made eight shots from behind the arc in a 27-point effort against Navy, which ties the second best single game three-point total in AU history. In addition, his 15 three-point attempts against Navy is tied for the highest single game attempt total for an Eagle. He went on to score a career-high 30 points on 10-of-19 shooting against Lafayette on February 28.
