Right before the All-Star Break, Joe Ingles shocked a lot of Jazz fans and the basketball world by opening up a very personal journey he and his family had been on for the last two years. That story was how his family came to understand that one of their children was on the spectrum for Autism. It was touching, it was raw, and it was authentic. Joe broke the news on an Aussie-like version of the Player’s Tribune.
It was brave and powerful. While providing those who have members of their family or friends who are on the spectrum another powerful voice and ally, Joe Ingles shared that it had been hard for him basketball-wise to focus.
