Utah Jazz’s Joe Ingles expected to be 'good' for FIBA Basketball World Cup despite reportedly mulling finger surgery

SALT LAKE CITY — During a November 5 game against the Toronto Raptors, Utah Jazz sharpshooter Joe Ingles dislocated his middle finger with 6:17 left and did not return at Vivint Arena.

The left-handed Australian didn’t miss a beat afterwards, though, as his iron man streak continued still playing all 82 games for the third consecutive season even while battling the injury.

Now, reports are surfacing overseas that Ingles could have surgery on the finger where he could miss the FIBA Basketball World Cup with the Australian national team, according to Sportsday’s Tom Morris.
