On March 22, 2012, Ingram joined the Los Angeles D-Fenders . He spent the remainder of the 2011–12 season with the D-Fenders, playing in six regular season games and seven play-off games.

However, he only played two games for the Wildcats before seeking release from his contract a week after arriving in Perth , citing mental health reasons for the sudden decision.

D-Fenders, South Bay Lakers and Los Angeles Lakers (since 2017)

On March 6, 2017, Ingram returned to the Los Angeles D-Fenders to end the 2016/17 season with them.

At 32, Ingram became the oldest American rookie in the NBA since at least 1964. His 19 points were the most by a Lakers player in his first professional game since Nick Van Exel (23 points) in 1993. For players who have their NBA Debuting after the All-Star hiatus , Ingrams 19 points were the most in a debut in 50 years, down from Danny Finn's 28 points in 1953.

On March 11, 2019, Ingram signed a 10-day contract with the Los Angeles Lakers and returned there for a second assignment. Since Lonzo Ball and Brandon Ingram were out for the rest of the season due to injury, the Lakers roster had to be strengthened.
