Ingles’ left knee injury suffered in the second quarter of Sunday’s matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves was confirmed by MRI to be a torn ACL, but there is, at least, a silver lining.
Utah Jazz guard Joe Ingles maneuvers around Sacramento Kings guard Buddy Hield as the Utah Jazz host the Sacramento Kings, NBA basketball in Salt Lake City on Tuesday, Nov. 2, 2021.Ingles’ left knee injury suffered in the second quarter of Sunday’s matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves was confirmed by MRI to be a torn ACL, which will necessitate season-ending knee surgery, the team announced Monday. One silver lining: no other structural damage was found in Ingles’ knee.
An examination during the game diagnosed a likely torn ACL, and after Ingles flew back to Salt Lake City after the Jazz’s loss, Monday’s MRI confirmed the bad news. Torn ACLs generally take 6-12 months to recover from in the NBA, though no timeline for Ingles’ return has been established. Ingles will need to have the swelling in his knee reduce, in order to recover range of motion in his knee before surgery can take place in the next several weeks, the team says.
Ingles was averaging 7.2 points and 3.5 assists in 24.9 minutes per game for the Jazz this season. His $14 million contract with the Jazz expires this season, meaning that he will be an unrestricted free agent this upcoming summer.
