SALT LAKE CITY -- Joe Ingles appreciates all the well-wishes and support he has received in the days following his serious knee injury, but the Utah Jazz forward wants to make one thing clear: His NBA career is not over.
The 34-year-old Ingles, who will soon undergo surgery to repair the torn ACL in his left knee, is determined and confident that he will return strong after a grueling rehabilitation process that could last into next season.
Ingles, the runner-up for Sixth Man of the Year last season who has been an essential role player during his eight-year Jazz tenure, insists that he will continue to be a quality contributor after his comeback.
