Minnesota Timberwolves forward Joe Ingles started his first game in over three years on Friday night and there was a special reason why.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Minnesota head coach Chris Finch opted to put Ingles in the starting lineup to ensure he got into a game with his autistic son, Jacob, in attendance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ingles, 37, was held scoreless in six minutes in a win over New Orleans, but that hardly mattered to Ingles and his family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to The Athletic, Ingles had his wife, Renae, and their three children at the game after they spent the entire season in Orlando, where he played last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jacob attended a Timberwolves game earlier in the week, but Ingles didn\u2019t get on the court.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finch made sure that didn\u2019t happen again. <\/p>\n
\u201cSometimes you\u2019ve got to do the human thing,\u201d Finch said, according to the site. \u201cWe always talk about, \u2018All these minutes matter,\u2019 and those minutes mattered for another reason.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ingles is in his 11th season in the NBA, eight of which were spent with Utah.<\/p>\n
Joe Ingles son, who is autistic, made it through his first ever NBA game last week.Ingles didn’t play that game, but tonight Chris Finch provided Ingles with his FIRST start of the season so his son could see him play \ud83d\udc99(via @NBA) pic.twitter.com\/uYIuRMVGrA\u2014 Yahoo Sports (@YahooSports) March 22, 2025<\/p>\n
\u201cSomeone put it in my head as an idea to make sure Joe can see the floor and I figured if we\u2019re going to do it, let\u2019s do it in style,\u201d Finch said. \u201cGuys were behind it and I think it gave us just the right boost that we needed and change of energy. Not often that you get to do those types of things, but we\u2019re really happy that we could.\u201c<\/p>\n
Ingles, who has played in 19 games this season, took the opportunity to raise awareness about autism.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis s\u2013t is real,\u201d Ingles said of his son\u2019s condition. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter who you are or your lifestyle, your money, whatever. Jacob doesn\u2019t really care I play basketball\u2026 He wants his dad home and every time I say I\u2019m going to play basketball, he\u2019s like \u2018Ughhh.\u2019 Which I\u2019m sure a lot of kids \u2014 it\u2019s not just me obviously.\u201d<\/p>\n
And\u00a0 Ingles wants people to understand the challenges families impacted by autism face. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll keep doing what we do,\u201d Ingles said. \u201cWe\u2019ll keep pushing the awareness and doing what we can to help other families, but I think people just need to understand this is a real thing. It doesn\u2019t go away with money. It doesn\u2019t go away with the situation that you\u2019re in. All we can do is talk about and obviously for us, give Jacob the best chance to fit in this kind of crazy world that we\u2019re in.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
