” To be continued… “, sibylline posted Rudy Gobert, in response to Joe Ingles’ goodbye message. The Australian, whose season was over following his rupture of a cruciate ligament in his knee, has just been sent to the Blazers, in exchange for Nickeil Alexander-Walker.
“ It’s painful today… I knew it was possible but I didn’t want to believe it“, reacted on Twitter the wingerwhose wife Renae also expressed his sadness to leave Utah. ” We were lucky to call ourselves home here for eight years! I still have a lot to say, but I’m going to have a beer and relax with good friends “, wanted to put the 34-year-old player, who arrived at the club in 2014, into perspective.
He ended with a message of encouragement to his teammates: ” Go get the win guys! I will always be watching.“
With his departure, a page is turned in Utah since the left-hander was one of the Jazz executives under the Quin Snyder era, who remains on five consecutive qualifying in the playoffs, finished three times in the conference semi-finals . “ Today is a tough day compared to Joe. I can’t really express what he meant to the franchise and me personally “, Formulated the Jazz technician, while Donovan Mitchell recalled that he had never without Ingles since his arrival in the NBA.
Despite this collective emotion, the story between the undrafted player and his lifelong franchise may not be quite over, as the French pivot suggested. A few days ago, The Deseret News indeed reported that the veteran did not close the door to a return to Utah in the future. Options would still be on the table for him to remain associated with the franchise, including without being a player.
” This injury obviously puts me a little in the way, but I have good relations with the Jazz, the leaders and the coach. “, had posted the person concerned, a few days after his injury, insisting: “ I still love playing, and I want to play in the NBA. I will not try to play anywhere else. “
We remind you that the player is coming to the end of his contract (12 million dollars this season) and will be free to sign wherever he wants next off-season.
