BIO: Ingram was born and raised in Richmond, Virginia, and grew up in a tight-knit family of four. He loved basketball from a 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.
Andre Ingram made his NBL debut with the Perth Wildcats at 31 years of age. He scored nine points in his first game.
When the Wildcat’s slumped to last spot in December with a 7–9 record as the team’s injury toll started to bite—long-term injuries to Martin, Jarrod Kenny, and Matthew Knight hurt the Wildcats. Import Jaron Johnson would take the brunt of the Wildcats’ poor start, and he was axed just three games into the season and replaced with three-point specialist Andre Ingram.
In a bizarre twist, Ingram left the team and returned to the US after just two games, citing mental issues, and Johnson was brought back into the team. It was at this time Perth legend Shawn Redhage announced that the 2016/17 season would be his last.
Johnson’s reinstatement was a temporary solution, and he was shown the door again in December with the Wildcats seizing the opportunity to sign former NBA guard Bryce Cotton.
With the addition of Cotton, the Wildcat’s became a completely different team and went on to claim their eighth NBL Championship.
The Wildcats went back-to-back for the first time since 1990/1991, while Gleeson became the first coach to guide the Wildcat’s to back-to-back championships.
Andre Ingram played one season in the NBL. He averaged 8.5 points, 2 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 2 NBL games.
Dan Boyce is a die-hard Sydney Kings fan who grew up in Melbourne during the roaring 90's of Australian Basketball and spent far too much time collecting Futera NBL Basketball cards.

READ MOREA second Sydney NBL team is expected to be the league’s next expansion franchise, with Gold Coast, Darwin, and Canberra all encountering significant roadblocks in recent months. It’s believed the Harbour City Stars is the leading candidate for the team name, following a branding strategy similar to how San Francisco’s Golden State Warriors use a regional moniker rather than the city’s name.
