Harrison Ingram is reminding everyone why he was such a beloved player during his time in Chapel Hill.

The former UNC basketball standout put together an absolutely sensational performance for the Salt Lake City Stars on Wednesday night, recording the first triple-double of the 2026-27 NBA G League season.

And the numbers are downright ridiculous.

Ingram finished with 25 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists while committing ZERO turnovers in Salt Lake City's 123-102 victory over the Rip City Remix.

Yes, you read that correctly.

A 25-point triple-double without a single turnover.

Talk about making a statement!

Harrison Ingram is making a strong case for an NBA opportunity

Ingram wasn't just stuffing the stat sheet. He was doing so with remarkable efficiency.

The former Tar Heel made 10 of 14 field-goal attempts, including three of his four shots from beyond the arc. He also added two steals and two blocks, showcasing the versatility that made him an important piece of UNC's ACC regular-season title-winning 2023-2024 squad.

Perhaps the most impressive aspect of his performance was his ability to facilitate the offense without making mistakes.

Recording 10 assists is impressive enough. Doing so while playing 38 minutes and committing no turnovers takes that accomplishment to another level.

For Tar Heel fans, this is the Harrison Ingram they remember.

Although his NBA career hasn't featured consistent playing time, Ingram has continued to develop his game in the G League. After spending time with the Spurs, Ingram signed a two-way contract with the Utah Jazz in October, giving him another opportunity to establish himself at the professional level.

Performances like Wednesday's are exactly what can help him accomplish that goal.

Ingram has always been known for his ability to impact games in multiple ways, but this outing demonstrated just how complete his skill set can be when everything comes together.

While one spectacular G League performance doesn't guarantee an immediate opportunity with Utah, it certainly gives the Jazz organization another reason to take notice.

For a player who continues working toward establishing himself as an NBA regular, that's incredibly important.

As for Carolina fans, seeing Ingram thrive at the professional level should bring back plenty of fond memories. He may have spent only one season wearing Carolina blue, but he made a lasting impression on the program and its fan base.

Now, the hope is that Ingram can continue performing at an elite level to earn a permanent spot on an NBA roster in the near future.
