Prior to Wednesday's game versus the Jazz in Salt Lake City, Joe Ingles, acquired by the Trail Blazers from Utah at the 2022 trade deadline, discussed joining the Trail Blazers, his initial conversations with the front office, coaches and new teammates, being a free agent this summer and the surgery to repair his injured left ACL.
-----------------------
What are your thoughts on the trade and joining the Trail Blazers even though you aren’t able to play?
Joe Ingles: Was probably still a little shocked from it all. Obviously knew there was a chance (of being traded) but, like I said a couple times, still didn’t believe it would happen.
