I’m not sure there’s a better microcosm of Joe Ingles than what we saw tonight. Okay, sure, he doesn’t usually nearly get a triple-double — he scored 11 points on mostly 3-point shots (which he shot 42 percent on), assisted the ball like crazy (14 assists, a career-high), and picked up nine rebounds almost by accident.
Oh, and it happened on Autism Awareness Night. The Jazz have done this annually for a few years now, but this time it mattered more to Ingles. After all, his son was just diagnosed with autism a few months ago, and now he and wife Renae are all in on raising awareness and making change for the families of Utah who are facing similar challenges.
