CHICAGO (October 25, 2019) – Donte Ingram, who played a pivotal role in Loyola University Chicago's magical run to the NCAA Final Four in 2018, has been acquired by the Greensboro Swarm in trade with the Texas Legends, it was announced today. Ingram spent the 2018-19 season playing for the Legend, who are the Dallas Mavericks' NBA G League affiliate.
