He now writes about sports instead as a form of therapy.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NBA</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The Minnesota Timberwolves, despite being in a difficult situation roster-building wise due to the financial constraints imposed upon them by the new collective bargaining agreement, have made the most out of their offseason. They kicked things off by trading a future draft pick for the draft rights to Kentucky guard Rob Dillingham, and then in free agency, they were able to pick up veteran sharpshooter Joe Ingles on a minimum contract, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/timberwolves-news-joe-ingles-reunites-rudy-gobert-mike-conley">reuniting the Australian forward</a> with former Utah Jazz teammates Rudy Gobert and Mike Conley.</p><p>With Kyle Anderson joining the Golden State Warriors, there was need for the Timberwolves to bring in a hard-nosed player who could conceivably suit up at both forward spots. Ingles certainly fit the bill; after all, the 36-year-old forward is never one to back down from a fight, and in fact, he loves getting underneath the skin of his opponents.</p><p>But one player in particular <a href="https://www.espn.com/nbl/story/_/id/40494076/australia-joe-ingles-excited-move-timberwolves" rel="noopener">will be immune</a> from Joe Ingles’ shenanigans; with Anthony Edwards being one of the most passionate trash-talkers in the game, Ingles doesn’t want to do anything to ruffle the Timberwolves star’s feathers.</p><p>“He’s good,” Ingles said of Edwards’ trash talk, per Olgun Uluc of ESPN. “I’ll save it for someone else.”</p><p>The Timberwolves have certainly become a team that’s now more annoying to deal with following the addition of Joe Ingles. Ingles is someone who never keeps quiet whenever he’s on the court, as he always has something to say to his opponents and he is never shy to let them hear about it. Perhaps Ingles can teach Anthony Edwards more of this dark art, although Edwards doesn’t seem to be in need of mentoring in this regard.</p><h2><b>Jingling Joe joins the Timberwolves</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Jazz-guard-Joe-Ingles-2-celebrates-with-guard-Mike-Conley-10-and-center-Rudy-Gobert-27-during-the-second-half.jpg"></figure><p>The Timberwolves’ interest in bringing Joe Ingles in wasn’t new whatsoever. During the 2023 offseason, the Timberwolves also expressed their desire to sign the veteran marksman, but the Orlando Magic outbid everyone with a two-year, $22 million deal amid their need for shooting up-and-down the roster.</p><p>“They actually tried to get me last year as well. … A part of it [was] having the interest for more than just: Kyle Anderson leaves and hey you can help us. Last year, they went pretty hard as well and we decided Orlando,” Ingles said.</p><p>But with the Magic setting their sights on making a huge move for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Ingles became a cap casualty, with Orlando <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/magic-news-11-million-joe-ingles-decision-but-theres-a-twist">declining his contract</a> worth $11 million for the 2024-25 campaign. This then paved the way for Ingles to join the Timberwolves on a veteran minimum, and he, despite his advanced age, may be exactly the kind of player Minnesota needs as they look to build off of last year’s trip to the Western Conference Finals.</p><p>Ingles should be a welcome addition to the Timberwolves locker room due to his fun-hearted personality. It helps matters as well that he is on excellent terms with Mike Conley and Rudy Gobert, with the three playing together for the 2020-21 Jazz team that finished with the best record in the association. Moreover, unlike Anderson, Ingles has no history of punching Gobert in the face, so that should only help.</p><p>“Playing with Mike again will be awesome, obviously I know Rudy, and then helping these other guys to keep getting better,” Ingles added. “When the opportunity came up and you speak more in depth about the basketball side, especially with the stuff I’m saying – you still wanna play, you still wanna compete – it’s a basketball opportunity that was too good to give up.”</p><h2><b>Minnesota’s roster for opening night appears to be set</b></h2><p>The Timberwolves, by and large, should already have their roster for opening night set. With the signing of Joe Ingles, Minnesota now has 14 players on the roster, provided, of course, that Rob Dillingham and Terrence Shannon sign their rookie contracts soon.</p><p>In addition to Ingles, the Timberwolves also took a flier on PJ Dozier; Dozier’s career <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/celtics-news-bostons-shocking-plan-for-pj-dozier-bol-bol-after-3-team-trade">hasn’t been the same</a> since he suffered a torn ACL in 2021, but before his injury, he was developing into a solid perimeter defender and an overall athletic presence on the wing. Dozier has never been an average three-point shooter, and he didn’t exactly turn heads with how he played last season for Partizan Mozzart Bet of the ABA League.</p><p>Nonetheless, Dozier played well enough to earn an NBA contract; he put up 8.8 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game on 50/32/75 splits while tallying 1.1 steals per game. Could he earn his keep as the Timberwolves’ backup point guard following the departure of Monte Morris and the likely exit of Jordan McLaughlin?</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The seeds of optimism were shown in 2022-23 when Rookie of the Year Paolo Banchero helped the team win 12 more games than it had the previous year. This past season, the young squad started to feed their success-starved fan base.</p><p>The Magic won 47 games and competed in a Game 7 in the opening round of the 2024 NBA Playoffs, by far the closest they have come to winning a series post-Dwight Howard. With Banchero, Franz Wagner and Jalen Suggs comprising a superbly promising core, and other young players surrounding them, Orlando is quickly rising up the ranks in the oft-unpredictable Eastern Conference.</p><p>Though, this is not the time for management to just pat itself on the back and enjoy the ride. Magic president of basketball operations Jeff Weltman and general manager Anthony Parker have some cap space at their disposal, which can possibly be used to accelerate this group’s championship contention timetable. The front office’s latest move solidifies their financial flexibility with NBA free agency just a day away.</p><p>Orlando is <a href="https://x.com/wojespn/status/1807059734052102451" rel="noopener">declining the $11 million team option</a> of Joe Ingles, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. However, the organization and the veteran forward are expected to stay engaged in talks going into next week.</p><h2><b>Magic could place high value on experience in free agency</b></h2><p>Once considered a trusty 3-and-D wing who helped the Utah Jazz topple Paul George and the Oklahoma City Thunder in the postseason several years back, Ingles faded into the background a bit with the Magic last season. He played 68 games for them in the regular season, scoring 4.4 points while shooting 43.5 percent from distance (70 made 3-pointers) in 17.2 minutes per game.</p><p>But the role the 36-year-old played in helping Orlando come of age should be properly spotlighted. He infused a necessary amount of experience and grit into this roster. Weltman could be keen on retaining those crucial intangibles for next season. Though, whether or not Ingles returns, head coach Jamahl Mosley’s squad should continue to exude toughness.</p><p>That being said, the Magic would be wise to dive into the free agency pool and fish out <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/why-clippers-paul-george-stance-is-confusing-as-76ers-magic-loom">an offensive difference-maker</a> with a stout postseason résumé. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-what-magic-offer-klay-thompson-kentavious-caldwell-pope">There are multiple names</a> that the Orlando shot-callers are reportedly eyeing ahead of what is sure to be a frenzy-filled week.</p><h2><b>Orlando’s possible offseason plans</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Kentavious-Caldwell-Pope-shouts-out-a-teammate.jpg"><figcaption>Andrew Wevers-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>The franchise has been linked to both Golden State Warriors great Klay Thompson and two-way perimeter threat Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, both of whom have six rings combined and can potentially make the Magic a more balanced unit. The team ranked 24th in the league in points per game (110.5) and 3-point percentage (35.2 percent), so either guy should assist in that regard.</p><p>Mosley could also use a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-how-wizards-blazers-trade-could-impact-magics-offseason">more seasoned playmaker</a> at the helm, as Orlando struggled to consistently move the ball around in the playoffs. It might be difficult for the Magic to address all their needs this offseason, but it is imperative they build on their landmark 2023-24 campaign. That could mean spending a ton of money, bringing back Joe Ingles, or both.</p><p>No matter what happens in the coming days, fans should relish being in this position. Because as the last 10 years have shown, national relevance is not so easily earned in these parts.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Redick was joking with Banchero in asking who the most sarcastic player on the team is and Benchero said “Joe Ingles” without hesitation.</p><p>“[Joe Ingles] had just signed and <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1754173751149633547" rel="noopener">he was talking sh*t</a>. Like, before we even put our shoes on,” Banchero, per The Old Man and the Three, via X.</p><p>The two were in Las Vegas during Summer League in 2023 when Banchero and Ingles shared the court for the first time. Despite Banchero being one of the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/magic-news-paolo-banchero-credits-mike-krzyzewski-eye-opening-advice-duke-days" rel="noopener">youngest players</a> on the team, he was established as a star for the Magic, given his No. 1 pick status in the 2022 NBA draft. Ingles decided to go right at the young stud, challenging him in a shooting competition.</p><p>“It was just us two who showed up that day coincidentally. This was a team workout and I think me and Joe were the only ones that showed up. It was kind of early in Vegas… Me and him were going to workout together, shoot together, so he was just talking sh*t, how he was going to outshoot me.”</p><p>The Magic continues to be an up-and-coming franchise, with some incredible young talent on its roster. Banchero headlines a core with Jalen Suggs, Cole Anthony, Franz Wagner, and more. Veterans like Ingles are crucial to have in the locker room to show the younger players how certain things develop in the league and challenge them to better each and every day.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The <a href="https://twitter.com/therealBeede/status/1745559657995808852" rel="noopener">team’s injury report reveals</a> that while Franz Wagner continues to nurse a right ankle sprain, set to miss his fourth consecutive game, there are optimistic signs regarding other key players.</p><h2><b>Magic list Wendell Carter Jr. as questionable </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Magic-news-Wendell-Carter-Jr.jpg"></figure><p>Wendell Carter Jr., who has been battling right knee tendinitis, is now listed as questionable to play in South Beach. Carter had made a comeback from a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/magic-news-wendell-carter-jr-gets-pivotal-injury-update" rel="noopener">month-long injury hiatus</a> in late December, only to be sidelined again following a double-overtime loss to the Sacramento Kings.</p><p>In his limited 13-game appearance this season, Carter has seen a dip in his performance, with career-low averages of 8.1 points and 6.4 rebounds, shooting 42.5% from the field.</p><p>The Magic’s injury woes don’t stop there. Gary Harris, dealing with a right calf strain, and Jonathan Isaac, suffering from an illness, are both out for the upcoming game. This string of injuries has forced the Magic to maintain a tight eight-player rotation in their recent games, highlighting the importance of each player’s role.</p><h2><b>Joe Ingles could potentially return against Heat</b></h2><p>In brighter news, veteran Joe Ingles, out since mid-December due to an ankle injury sustained in the team’s loss to the Boston Celtics, is no longer on the injury report. After <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/magic-news-veteran-sharpshooter-joe-ingles-paolo-banchero" rel="noopener">signing with Orlando</a> in free agency this summer, Ingles is averaging 4.9 points and 3.4 assists, shooting 44.8% overall and a notable 40.7% from beyond the arc.</p><p>The potential return of Ingles and Carter for Friday’s clash with the Heat is a timely boost for the Magic. This update comes after the team’s recent loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, where Cole Anthony played <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/magic-paolo-banchero-sudden-struggles-highlight-reactions-blowout-loss-timberwolves" rel="noopener">only seven minutes due to a thigh issue</a>. Fortunately, he isn’t mentioned on the latest injury report.</p><p>As the Magic confront these challenges, the team’s adaptability and depth will be put to the test. The updates on Carter and Ingles offer a glimmer of hope as Orlando looks to navigate through its injury predicaments and stay competitive throughout the season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
