NBL EXPERIENCE
Andre Ingram made his NBL debut with the Perth Wildcats at 31 years of age. He scored nine points in his first game.
Following the Breakers’ 2016 grand final loss, chief executive Richard Clarke and coach Dean Vickerman parted ways with the organisation, with Paul Henare stepping up from assistant to take the reins as head coach, while Dillon Boucher took control of the front office as general manager.
Joining Dean Vickerman in departure was Cedric Jackson and Tai Wesley, both of whom moved across the Tasman and joined Melbourne United. While retaining Thomas Abercrombie, Corey Webster, Alex Pledger and Mika Vukona, the Breakers acquired the services of club legend Kirk Penney. With two vacant import spots, the Breakers signed Ben Woodside and Akil Mitchell. A strong New Zealand contingent also stepped up from development player roles this season, with Finn Delany, Shea Ili and Jordan Ngatai all being elevated onto the full-time roster.
An injury filled pre-season saw Shea Ili (back), Penney (calf) and Webster (hip and back) suffer injuries that would see them miss multiple games during the first half of the season. Even when Webster did return mid-season, he was never fully recovered and his production dropped from 19.6 ppg to 11.7 ppg as he battled to shake off a prolonged hip injury. After 20 games New Zealand had a total of eight wins and the ‘injury bug’ only got worse. Abercrombie (11.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.2 assists) and Woodside (8.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 1.3 steals) both spent time missed games due to injury and then in January, during a loss to Cairns (81-94), Mitchell (9.5 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists) suffered a poke to the eye from Taipans centre Nnanna Egwu which caused his left eyeball to come out of its socket. He was rushed to hospital and although his vision was restored that night, he returned to the US to seek further specialist advice.
Webster made a valiant second return to the court before the end of the season, but under medical advisement, it was felt his injuries were too serious and he was shut down for the remainder of the season. New Zealand added import forward Paul Carter (9.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 0.9 assists) and shortly replaced a underperforming Woodside with David Stockton, the son of NBA Hall of Famer John Stockton. Stockton (8.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 4.2 assists) lasted only 10 games before he too succumbed to injury and was replaced by another import, Kevin Dillard.
The combo of Dillard (18.1 points, 4 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 1.6 steals) and Penney (17.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.4 assists) helped salvage the remainder of the Breakers’ season. The duo propelled New Zealand to a four game winning streak and revived the Breakers playoff hopes, but after back-to-back losses in round 17, they dropped to fifth place (14–14) and their playoff hopes were shattered.
Andre Ingram played one season in the NBL. He averaged 8.5 points, 2 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 2 NBL games.

COLLEGE
Ingram played college basketball at American University from the 2003–04 season through the 2006–07 season, appearing in 118 games and starting 117 under head coach Jeff Jones.
In the 2003–04 season, Ingram started all 31 games for an 18–13 team that went 10–4 in Patriot League play and finished as co-regular season champions and tournament finalists, while he led the Eagles at 13.6 points per game in 31.0 minutes per game and added 4.0 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 0.7 steals per game while shooting .393 from the field, .396 from three, and .786 at the line.

Ingram followed with a 2004–05 sophomore season in which he played 28 games with 27 starts on a 16–12 squad, averaging 15.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.1 steals per game in 34.9 minutes while shooting .410 from the field, .368 from three, and .744 on free throws, and he earned first-team All-Patriot League recognition after entering the season as the Patriot League Preseason Player of the Year and opening the year with a 38-point performance against VCU.
During the 2005–06 season, Ingram started all 29 games for a 12–17 team, leading American in scoring again at 12.0 points per game while posting 4.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.0 steal per game in 32.4 minutes, and he shot .345 overall, .338 from three, and .784 at the line, with that year including a 24-point season opener against Washington and his 1,000th career point coming in a game against Saint Francis (PA) on January 2 as part of a season-high 10-rebound night, before he collected second-team All-Patriot League honours.
As a senior in 2006–07, Ingram started all 30 games for a 16–14 team and ranked among the Patriot League leaders while averaging 15.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.2 steals per game in 34.5 minutes and shooting .420 from the field, .424 from three, and .832 on free throws, and he recorded eight 20-point games with a season-high 25 points against Lafayette, earned first-team All-Patriot League honours, and closed his American career with 1,655 points while leading the Eagles in scoring in each of his four seasons.
