  Ingles agreed to a one-year deal with the Timberwolves on Wednesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Over 68 regular-season appearances in 2023-24, he averaged 4.4 points, 3.0 assists and 2.1 rebounds in 17.2 minutes per game.

• Joe Ingles: Team option turned down

  06/29/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Magic declined Ingles' $11 million team option for the 2024-25 season Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. Though Orlando wasn't interested in retaining Ingles at an $11 million salary figure, the team is expected to try and re-sign the 36-year-old at a more favorable rate.

Over 68 appearances for Orlando in 2023-24, Ingles averaged 4.4 points, 3.0 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 0.6 steals in 17.2 minutes while shooting 43.6 percent from the field.
