Team Note: Ingles positioning is mainly in the locker room; he himself understands this.

July 1, According to famous reporter Shams, veteran Ingles reached a one-year, $3.6 million contract agreement with the Timberwolves. Timberwolves' reporter Jon Krawczynski wrote an article about the logic behind it.

He wrote: "Why is Joe Ingles willing to return to the Timberwolves with a basic salary contract, even if he may not be able to get stable playing time?"

"The Timberwolves regard him as a favorite teammate, and the coaching staff also value the veteran's understanding and experience of the game. The team had previously refused to execute Josh Minnot's team options because the young player was eager for more opportunities to play. And Ingles knew the current situation of the team and would not complain about playing time - his return was more like injecting veteran wisdom into the team, providing support in the locker room and tactical level. This role positioning is highly consistent with his professional attitude."

"In the free market, the Timberwolves will continue to look for a point guard and a center."
