Joseph Howarth Ingles (born 2 October 1987) is an Australian professional basketball player for the Utah Jazz of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He also represents the Australian national team. Standing at 6 ft 8 in (2.03 m), he primarily plays at the small forward and shooting guard positions, but he is versatile enough to play at the point guard as he often plays a point forward role.

Early life

Born in the Adelaide suburb of Happy Valley, Ingles played junior basketball for the Southern Tigers. Ingles attended both Lake Ginninderra College and the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) in Canberra with future Boomers teammate Brad Newley. He played basketball for the AIS in 2005 and 2006. Along with basketball, Ingles also played Australian rules football and cricket in his younger years but gave both sports away to focus on basketball.[1]

Ingles' two basketball goals as a boy were to play for the Adelaide 36ers and Australia. He was highly sought after when he came out of the AIS in 2006, and he subsequently met with the 36ers as a 17-year-old, but a couple of Adelaide blunders set him off interstate. Ingles said of the situation, "The minimum salary at the time was $20–$22,000 and while money wasn't a primary concern for me, they offered me a two-year deal at $12,500 per, plus two season tickets." Ingles had several other contract bids to consider, all offering at least the minimum and many of them providing additional incentives. His decision to not sign with the 36ers came when his contract from the club arrived with his name misspelt. It did not leave a glowing impression on Ingles or his family, so he moved his attention to Melbourne.[2]

Professional career

South Dragons (2006–2009)

On 17 March 2006, Ingles signed a multi-year deal with the South Dragons of the National Basketball League, becoming the very first player to sign with the club.[3] In the Dragons' debut game, the 18-year-old Ingles made league history by scoring the most points by an Australian on debut – 29, on 11-of-15 shooting from the field. His excellent first season earned him the NBL Rookie of the Year Award.[4] In 34 games in 2006–07, he averaged 15.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game.[5]

In 2007–08, Ingles played in 30 games for the Dragons, averaging 15.4 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game.[5]

In 2008–09, Ingles helped lead the Dragons to the minor premiership while earning All-NBL Third Team honours. He went on to help the Dragons win their maiden NBL championship with a 3–2 grand final series victory over the Melbourne Tigers. However, two months after winning their first title, the club folded due to financial difficulties.[6] In 38 games for the club in 2008–09, Ingles averaged 13.1 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game.[5]

In 102 games for the Dragons over three seasons, Ingles averaged 14.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game.[5]

Spain and Israel (2009–2014)

Ingles with FC Barcelona, 2011

In July 2009, Ingles signed with Spanish club CB Granada of the Liga ACB.[7] In November 2010, Ingles transferred from Granada to FC Barcelona, signing a three-year deal with the club.[8][9] In June 2013, Ingles announced that he would not re-sign with Barcelona for the 2013–14 season.[10]

On 24 July 2013, Ingles signed with Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv.[11][12] Ingles and Maccabi, led by head coach David Blatt, went on to win the 2013–14 EuroLeague championship.

Utah Jazz (2014–present)

2014–15 season

After spending preseason with the Los Angeles Clippers,[13][14] Ingles was acquired by the Utah Jazz on 27 October 2014.[15] Ingles made his NBA debut two days later, playing four minutes but only had a missed three-point attempt in a loss to the Houston Rockets.[16] A day later, he recorded his first two NBA points in a loss to the Dallas Mavericks.[17] Ingles began starting for the Jazz in March 2015, and on March 23, he scored a season-high 18 points in a loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.[18]

2015–16 season

On 10 July 2015, Ingles re-signed with the Jazz to a multi-year contract.[19] On 26 December 2015, he scored a season-high 14 points in a loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.[20] He topped that season high on 17 March 2016 with 15 points and career-high six steals in a 103–69 win over the Phoenix Suns.[21]

2016–17 season

On 14 November 2016, Ingles scored a career-high 20 points in a 102–96 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies.[22] He topped that mark on 8 December 2016, scoring 21 points while hitting a career-high five 3-pointers in a 106–99 loss to the Golden State Warriors.[23] In Game 4 of the Jazz's first-round playoff series against the Los Angeles Clippers on 23 April 2017, Ingles had a career-high 11 assists in a 105–98 win that tied the series at 2–2.[24] In 2016–17, Ingles recorded the best three-point percentage (.441) by a Jazz player since Kyle Korver set an NBA record (.536) in 2009–10, and became the first Jazz player in franchise history to shoot at least .441 from beyond the arc with at least 270 attempts.[25]

2017–18 season

On 25 July 2017, Ingles re-signed with the Jazz to a multi-year contract.[25] Ingles was a starter for the entire first half of the season before coming off the bench for the first time on 19 January 2018 against the New York Knicks.[26] A day later, in a 125–113 win over the Los Angeles Clippers, Ingles scored a career-high 21 points, reaching the 20-point mark for just the third time in his career.[27] On 30 January 2018, he hit a career-high six 3-pointers and scored 20 points in a 129–99 win over the Golden State Warriors.[28] On 9 February 2018, he set a new career high with 23 points in a 106–94 win over the Charlotte Hornets.[29] Two days later, he had a 24-point effort in a 115–96 win over the Portland Trail Blazers.[30] On 24 February 2018, in a 97–90 win over the Dallas Mavericks, Ingles played in his 200th straight game for the Jazz and finished with 12 points and eight assists. He recorded his 150th 3-pointer of the season during the game, trailing only Randy Foye (178) and Rodney Hood (161) for most 3-pointers in a single season for a Jazz player.[31] On 7 March 2018, he recorded the first double-double of his NBA career with 11 points and 10 assists in a 104–84 win over the Indiana Pacers.[32] On 17 March 2018, he recorded 14 points, nine assists and seven rebounds in a 103–97 win over the Sacramento Kings. Ingles made three 3-pointers to push his season total to 179, breaking the Jazz record of 178 set by Foye during the 2012–13 season.[33] Five days later, in a 119–112 win over the Mavericks, Ingles had 18 points and 10 assists, equaling his career high.[34] On 5 April 2018, in a 117–95 win over the Clippers, Ingles became the first Jazz player to make 200 3-pointers in a season.[35] Three days later, he had 22 points on 9-of-12 shooting along with 10 assists in a playoff-clinching 112–97 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.[36] In Game 3 of Utah's first-round playoff series against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Ingles scored 21 points, as the Jazz took a 2–1 lead in the series with a 115–102 win.[37] The Jazz went on to win the series in six games. In Game 2 of the Jazz's second-round series against the Houston Rockets, Ingles scored a career-high 27 points with a career-best seven 3-pointers in a 116–108 win, helping Utah tie the series at 1–1.[38]

At the 2010 FIBA World Championship, Ingles averaged 10.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists in six games.[39] At the 2012 London Olympics, Ingles again played well, and was the second-highest scorer for the Boomers after Patty Mills.
