This year's NBA, the warmest story!

Timberwolves vs Pelicans, in terms of game content, is a "leftovers" game, and the Wolves won big.

However, because of a move by the Timberwolves, we have presented the warmest story of this year's NBA.

Head coach Finch has made striker Joe Ingles a starter for the first time this season because:

Veteran Joe Ingalls' wife, Renee, and three children, who have lived in their Orlando home all season, came to Minnesota this week.

Ingles' son, Jacob, has autism, and earlier this week he reached a major milestone when he watched an NBA game in its entirety for the first time, but Ingles didn't show up.

In this game, Timberwolves coach Finch deliberately arranged for Ingles to start, which can be regarded as making Jacob's dream come true.

“This is why we play！”

An old NBA slogan comes to mind again.

This is where the NBA's humanistic care and what it does well.

You must know that the last time Ingles played a starter was wearing a Jazz jersey 3 years ago.

The Timberwolves were warm, but Ingles was also a good father.

Ingalls' wife, Renae, a former tennis player, gave birth to twins named Jacob and Milla in 2016, which is a cause for celebration.

As a result, when his son was growing up, Jacob lacked verbal communication, had difficulty in social interaction, and had sleep disorders, sensitivity to light, and extreme pickiness in eating, and was diagnosed with autism.

The Ingalls wrote: "We were shocked, but quickly decided to take it positively and arrange treatment immediately. ”

Later, in his autograph letter "Jacob is still our Jacob", he wrote a lot of warm words:

"No matter what kind of wind and rain you go through,JacobIt's still oursJacoband always will be. ”

"Whether we are happy or not, we are all in this together, and even though we know that there is a long challenge ahead of us, as parents, we all want to give Jacob and Milla a happy, healthy childhood and a bright future."

"If your child has been diagnosed with autism, I want you to know that you're not alone."

In 2019, during a game between the Jazz and the Lakers, Mitchell, Rubio and Ingles wrote "For Autistic Children" on their sneakers, along with Jacob, to call for more attention to autistic children.

Ingalls has repeatedly said that he will not hesitate to retire if his family needs it.

During the epidemic in 2020, he said:

"If a doctor had told me that I had to retire to protect Jacob, I would leave the NBA immediately and never look back."

"There are a million reasons why I want to play, but the only reason to give up is 'I love Jacob'. Basketball is just a part of life, and family always comes first. ”

This year, Ingalls is 37 years old, and he is not far from returning to his family.

What is shared today is another story of family, life is greater than basketball.
