Joe Ingles AVAILABLE for Monday’s game against NOLA

After ten months of rehab from a torn ACL, Joe Ingles is ready to suit up for Milwaukee in his first game this season. He finished the final hurdle of rehab on Saturday with a 5-on-5 workout.

Tomorrow the Bucks will be welcoming back Ingles with open arms, with improved playoff chances with his spacing abilities and playoff experience, against the Pelicans.

Joe Ingles signed a one-year deal with the organization worth $6.5 million dollars. The Bucks are 21-8 in the Eastern Conference, that record puts them first in their conference and the entire league.

Joe Ingles suffers terrible ACL injury that will require him to miss the rest of the season!

Joe Ingles suffers terrible ACL injury that will require him to miss the rest of the season!

The knee injury was bad in speculation, but it is even worse now that we know what the injury is exactly. CourtSideHeat covered his knee injury and what happened when he left that game, hobbling off and needing help immediately. That was not a comfortable sight no one wanted to see. First, hopefully he is able to make a full recovery and come back stronger than ever.

Secondly, this is a gigantic blow for this Utah team. For a team that has suffered injuries of all kind, plus sprinkle in COVID-19 absences, this has been a rough season for the Jazz.

There is good news to the bad news

As crazy as this may sound, there is good news within this left ACL tear. When the MRI diagnosed him with the left ACL tear; the scan also diagnosed him with no other structural damage or tears of any sorts. What a relief as tearing your MCL, meniscus, or anything else within your knee would have been very painful.

Again, Sunday night, in the loss to Minnesota, his knee buckled and needed help off the court. The Jazz already deemed it serious that night and their worst suspicions came true.

Also, as a side-note, expect Ingle’s surgery to take place within the next few weeks. The reason for the few weeks until surgery is due to the fact that once he is able to get range of motion in that knee again that is when it the all-go system checks is good then they will be able to perform the surgery.

Tough blow for the Jazz; many teams this season has had their players lost to knee injuries. Take Cleveland, no Rubio or Sexton. If you count surgeries, then my goodness the league has had many of those.
