Sometimes it's about more than just basketball.
Friday night in Minneapolis happened to be one of those times.
Among those in attendance for the Pelicans-Timberwolves game at Target Center was Jacob Ingles, the son of Minnesota veteran Joe Ingles. Jacob has autism, and earlier this week, he achieved the milestone of being able to view an entire game in person. The only downside: His dad didn't play.
But that changed Friday night.
Timberwolves coach Chris Finch not only made sure Ingles would play but he gave him his first start since Jan.
