Joe Ingles has joined with his fellow countrymen in the NBA to donate $750,000 toward relief and recovery efforts as brushfires continue to ravage Australia.

Ingles and eight other Aussies — Aron Baynes (Phoenix Suns), Jonah Bolden and Ben Simmons (Philadelphia 76ers), Ryan Broekhoff (Dallas Mavericks), Matthew Dellavedova and Dante Exum (Cleveland Cavaliers), Thon Maker (Detroit Pistons) and Patty Mills (San Antonio Spurs) — partnered with the NBA and the National Basketball Players Association Foundation to contribute the aid.

“We are heartbroken over the devastation these fires are causing all across our homeland,” expressed the players in a joint statement.
