Report: Jazz, Ingles finalizing 4-year, $52M contract

Restricted free agent Joe Ingles and the Utah Jazz are reportedly finalizing a four-year, $52-million contract, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Ingles blossomed into an indispensable component of the Jazz's ensemble last season, appearing in all 82 games and setting career highs with 7.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.2 steals per game.

Most importantly, the Australian improved his 3-point shooting to a blistering 44.1 percent from beyond the arc, up from 37.1 percent over his first two seasons stateside.

While 2016-17 marked his third season in the NBA, Ingles will turn 30 in August. This new contract should keep him in Utah through his prime.

Wojnarowski notes that Ingles is a close companion of unrestricted free agent Gordon Hayward, who the Jazz hope to retain this offseason. The organization has planned to meet with Hayward on Monday.
