Joe Ingles ready to welcome Derrick Favors back to the Utah Jazz with open arms — and plenty of pocket passes

Joe Ingles’ offseason was filled with welcomed additions.

The Utah Jazz wing and his wife, Renae Ingles, welcomed their third child, Jack, into the world just a couple of weeks ago. But that’s not the only reason Ingles was smiling behind his mask as he spoke with reporters at the start of training camp Thursday. Ingles had also just welcomed his pick-and-roll partner Derrick Favors back to Utah.

“I’m a happy man,” Ingles said. “I’m a very happy man.”

Ingles’ vision and passing ability had combined with Favors’ soft hands and ability to finish around the basket to give the Jazz a consistent pick-and-roll threat in the team’s second unit.
