Ingles

After spending 12 seasons in the NBA, Ingles will return home to Australia on a two-year deal. Ingles had a successful NBA career, but his playing time dwindled over the last few seasons. The 38-year-old Aussie will likely wrap up his professional career back home.

Back with the team after a one-game absence for personal reasons, Ingles recorded his first double-double since December 30, 2022, on Sunday. The 38-year-old shot 3-of-6 from beyond the arc and recorded a complete stat line in 32 minutes of play. Give Ingles credit for staying ready, but it’s highly unlikely that he’s asked to play major minutes in the playoffs. The No. 6 seed in the West, Minnesota will face Denver in the first round.

Ingles, who started Wednesday’s loss to the Magic due to the Timberwolves’ many absences, will not be available on Friday. His absence will not affect active fantasy leagues, even if Minnesota remains extremely shorthanded on the perimeter.

The Timberwolves, with three games left in the regular season, will use a starting lineup on Wednesday that they haven’t yet used this season. Ingles gets his first start of the year, and Anderson will also start for the first time this year as a member of the Timberwolves. Several key players, including Rudy Gobert, Julius Randle, and Anthony Edwards, won’t play against the Magic.

Ingles is back with the team after missing Thursday’s win over the Raptors for personal reasons. His availability won’t affect fantasy basketball, as he is not in the rotation on most nights.

Ingles is away from the Timberwolves for personal reasons. Hopefully, his absence won’t be for too long.

Ingles will be available after a one-game absence, but that won’t alter the Timberwolves’ rotation. If he sees the floor at all, it will only be for a few minutes.

Ingles only sees a few minutes per game if he sees the floor at all. He won’t be available as an inbounder if they need one in a late-game situation, but his absence won’t impact much else.

Hopefully, Ingles won’t be away from his teammates for too long. His absence will not affect fantasy basketball.

Ingles is available after initially being questionable for Friday’s game. However, with Jaden McDaniels also available, the minutes needed to impact fantasy basketball aren’t likely to be available.
