Joe Ingles’ journey to the NBA has been winding.
This week, overlooking the Manhattan skyline, the Utah Jazz forward took a moment to reflect.
“Me and Rudy are the only two left from Quin’s first year here,” Ingles told ESPN’s Zach Lowe. “I didn’t think that would be me.”
The 32-year-old Aussie joined the NBA writer on his Lowe Post podcast to discuss the Jazz’s nine-game win streak, the difference between starting and coming off the bench, his patented ball-fake layup (“I don’t know why it still works”), trash-talking with Paul George and Jimmy Butler, the wildfires ravaging his country, and how Ingles went from a world-traveling journeyman to a player “so embedded in the Utah Jazz’s DNA”.
