Heading overseas Ingles signed a two-year contract with Australia's Melbourne United on Monday, Olgun Uluc of ESPN reports.

Impact After serving as a veteran leader and depth piece for the Timberwolves over the past two seasons, Ingles will head back to his native Australia and could potentially finish his professional basketball career there. The 38-year-old spent the last 12 seasons in the NBA, including his first eight with the Jazz. He holds career averages of 6.9 points, 3.2 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 0.7 steals across 21.4 minutes per contest in the Association.

Won't start Saturday Ingles won't start Saturday's Game 1 against Denver.

Impact After starting Minnesota's regular-season finale, Ingles will retreat to the second unit. The veteran forward is unlikely to see meaningful action Saturday.

Double-double in win Ingles chipped in 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds, six rebounds, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Sunday's 132-126 victory over the Pelicans.

Impact Ingles drew the start Sunday and contributed across the board, knocking down three triples and reaching the 10-rebound mark to record his first double-double of the season. It was a positive way for the veteran to close the regular season after playing a limited role in the Timberwolves' rotation, as he'll finish averaging 1.5 points and 1.3 assists in 5.7 minutes across 27 appearances.

No longer on report Ingles (personal) is not on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Ingles didn't play Friday against the Rockets due to personal reasons, but the veteran forward should suit up Sunday. Given that the Timberwolves have ruled nine players out for this regular-season finale, it wouldn't be surprising if Ingles logs a similar workload to the one he had against the Magic on Wednesday, where he logged 18 minutes.

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

Out for personal reasons Ingles has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Rockets due personal reasons.

Impact Ingles hasn't been much of a factor in the Minnesota rotation over the course of the campaign, though he logged a season-high 18 minutes Wednesday against the Magic with his squad shorthanded. His absence Friday shouldn't have too large of an impact, as the Timberwolves can lean on Jaylen Clark, Julian Phillips and Enrique Freeman to step up in the frontcourt Friday if needed.

APRIL 9 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Magic Ingles will start in Wednesday's game against Orlando.

Impact Ingles will make his first start of the 2025-26 campaign. The 38-year-old hasn't been very productive this season, averaging 0.8 points, 0.4 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.3 steals across 4.1 minutes. However, with Minnesota down Anthony Edwards (knee), Rudy Gobert (rest), Julius Randle (hand) and Ayo Dosunmu (calf), Ingles should be more productive in all statistical categories.

Joe Ingles' NBA career may be winding down as next potential landing spot revealed Joe Ingles reportedly could be looking to return to play professionally in Australia.

APRIL 3 • DUNKINGWITHWOLVES.COM

Rare appearance in loss Ingles recorded no counting stats in four minutes during Saturday's 109-87 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Ingles logged four minutes during garbage time, appearing in a game for just the fifth time in the past 16 contests. All five appearances have come during garbage time, highlighting the fact that he is simply not a part of the rotation, if and when the team is healthy.

MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE

Not listed on injury report Ingles (personal) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Saturday's meeting with the Magic.

Impact Ingles missed Thursday's win over Toronto for personal reasons, but it appears he's back with the team and will be available for Saturday's game. That said, Ingles is not a consistent part of the rotation, so his playing status won't impact fantasy leagues.

MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE

Out for personal reasons Ingles is out for Thursday's game against Toronto for personal reasons.

Impact Ingles is averaging 4.0 minutes per game over 20 appearances, so his absence will have a negligible impact on the Minnesota rotation. His next chance to rejoin the team comes Saturday, when the Timberwolves take on the Magic.

MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE

Available for Tuesday Ingles (personal) is available for Tuesday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Ingles didn't play in Saturday's game against the Spurs while attending to a personal matter, but he'll suit up for Tuesday's clash. The veteran forward isn't currently part of the team's rotation and has appeared in only 13 games so far this season.

JANUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Sits Saturday due to personal matter Ingles was inactive for Saturday's 126-123 loss to the Spurs due to a personal matter.

Impact The 38-year-old hasn't been a regular part of the Minnesota rotation this season, so his absence Saturday didn't affect how head coach Chris Finch distributed the minutes. Ingles' next chance to suit up will come Tuesday in Utah.

JANUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Rare appearance Tuesday Ingles ended Tuesday's 139-106 win over the Bucks with two rebounds, one assist and two steals in eight minutes.

Impact In what ended up being a blowout victory, Ingles was inserted into the closing lineup, matching his season-high with eight minutes. While he is certainly considered a fan favorite in Minnesota, he is nothing more than a positive veteran presence for a young team looking to take the next step.

JANUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play vs. Denver Ingles (personal) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Ingles did not play in Tuesday's game against the Knicks while attending to a personal matter. The veteran forward is on track to be available Thursday, though he's mostly been a healthy DNP and last saw regular-season action Nov. 7 against the Jazz.

DECEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out for personal reasons Ingles is out for Tuesday's game against the Knicks for personal reasons.

Impact The veteran forward will hope to rejoin the team for Thursday's tilt in Denver. Ingles hasn't seen the court since Nov. 17 against Dallas, so his absence won't cause any major waves in the rotation.

DECEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Suiting up vs. Suns Ingles is available in Friday's game against the Suns.

Impact Ingles is managing left groin soreness, but the issue won't stop him from suiting up Friday. The veteran forward has averaged a mere 4.6 minutes per game across five appearances in 2025-26, so it's possible he won't see the court at all against Phoenix.

NOVEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable with groin soreness Ingles is questionable for Friday's game against the Suns due to left groin soreness.

Impact Ingles missed some time during training camp with a left groin strain, and the Timberwolves could be without the veteran forward Friday. Ingles had made five brief appearances on the campaign, so his potential absence isn't likely to vacate a noticeable amount of playing time in the Minnesota frontcourt.

OCTOBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't go Friday Ingles (rest) won't play in Friday's preseason game against the 76ers.

Impact Ingles will sit out the second night of the team's back-to-back set. The veteran forward recently missed time due to a groin strain, though he's expected to be ready for the team's regular-season opener against Portland on Wednesday.

OCTOBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Returning from hamstring strain Ingles (hamstring) is available for Thursday's preseason game against the Bulls, Chris Hine of the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Impact Ingles missed a week of action due to a groin strain, but he's ready to return to the floor Thursday. The veteran forward is expected to serve as frontcourt depth for the Timberwolves in 2025-26.
