Wednesday can’t come soon enough for Joe Ingles.
After a long and exciting summer that culminated in an Olympic medal with his home country of Australia, Ingles earned a well-deserved break for most of Utah’s four preseason games—even if he didn’t want it.
“I hate sitting out, obviously,” Ingles said with a smile. “But again, with the medical team and coach and all that, they have a plan. … They know a lot more about that stuff than I do, so whatever they say goes. It was nice to watch the guys play as well and still be around the team, but obviously being out there is very different.
