Ingles finished with six points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists and one steal across 21 minutes in Sunday's 118-111 win over the Raptors.
Considering that Ingles tore his ACL last February and turned 35 years old in October, expectations for the veteran wing were rightfully tempered heading into the season. However, since he was cleared to make his season debut Dec. 19, Ingles has emerged as arguably the most important bench piece for Milwaukee with the exception of Bobby Portis. Though he doesn't get enough usage or minutes to warrant a permanent roster spot outside of 14-team leagues or deeper, Ingles' averages of 3.8 assists and 2.9 three-pointers per game thus far in March make him a useful enough streaming option for both categories, particularly on occasions when the Bucks are missing one of their top top three playmakers (Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday).

Bucks' Joe Ingles: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Ingles (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's matchup with the Suns.
Ingles will be returning from a rest day, and with Grayson Allen (foot) and Khris Middleton (rest) set to hit the sidelines, Ingles might be able to flirt with minutes in the 30s. He's on the radar as a potential streamer for Tuesday night.

Bucks' Joe Ingles: Won't play Monday
Rotowire
Ingles has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Kings due to left knee injury management.
Ingles has appeared in 12 straight games and is averaging 8.2 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 24.4 minutes during that stretch, but the veteran forward will take the first night of a back-to-back set off to rest his knee. It's unclear if he'll be able to suit up for the second half Tuesday in Phoenix. In the meantime, Pat Connaughton, Jae Crowder and Wesley Matthews, who's expected to return from a nine-game absence due to a calf strain, are candidates for increased playing time versus Sacramento.

Bucks' Joe Ingles: Efficient performance in win
Rotowire
Ingles closed with 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 134-123 victory over the Magic.
With Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness) and Jrue Holiday (neck) sidelined, Ingles provided a much-needed offensive boost. He scored in double figures for the third time over his past four appearances and dished out at least six assists for just the fifth time this season. Over his last 10 games, Ingles is averaging 7.7 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.5 assists with 47/39/75 shooting splits.

Bucks' Joe Ingles: Efficient in victory
Rotowire
Ingles closed with 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 21 minutes during Wednesday's 139-117 win over the Magic.
Ingles' efficient scoring helped him record his second-highest points total of the season Wednesday. The veteran forward is averaging 5.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 23.0 minutes across his last 10 appearances, but his typical shot volume caps his fantasy potential.

Bucks' Joe Ingles: Set to return Friday
Rotowire
Ingles (rest) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game against the Clippers.
Ingles rested during Thursday's win over the Lakers but will return to the court for the second half of the back-to-back set. Over his three appearances this month, he's averaged 2.7 points and 3.0 rebounds in 22.0 minutes per game.

Bucks' Joe Ingles: Resting Thursday
Rotowire
Ingles (rest) will not suit up for Thursday's game against the Lakers.
Thursday's game will be the first of a back-to-back set, so Ingles will receive a maintenance day for his surgically-repaired knee. With Ingles on the sidelines, Jordan Nwora could see a bump in minutes, but that doesn't mean much with the main guys in Milwaukee healthy.

Bucks' Joe Ingles: Subdued effort in victory
Rotowire
Ingles recorded eight points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 124-115 victory over Charlotte.
Ingles didn't offer a lot in the win, scoring single digits for the sixth straight game. Although he has been able to earn a regular spot in the rotation, he typically sees no more than about 25 minutes on any given night. He can be used for streaming purposes, especially on low-volume nights, by anyone in need of either points or threes. In terms of long-term value, those days have come and gone.

Bucks' Joe Ingles: Returns with all-around performance
Rotowire
Ingles recorded 15 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and one block over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 130-122 win over Toronto.
Ingles returned to the lineup after sitting out Monday to rest, leading the bench with 15 points and leading the team in assists while setting a season-high rebounding mark. Ingles has posted at least 10 points, five assists and five rebounds in two games this year.

Bucks' Joe Ingles: Slated to play Tuesday
Rotowire
Ingles (knee) isn't listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game versus the Raptors.
Ingles got a rest in the front end of the back-to-back set Monday as he gets back in the flow following a major knee injury. He likely won't play in back-to-backs for a while, but he's set to return to action Tuesday after getting Monday's contest off. The veteran is still getting his sea legs under him, posting career-low marks of 34.7 percent from the field and 31.7 percent from deep through his first 12 appearances.

Bucks' Joe Ingles: Resting Monday
Rotowire
Ingles will sit out Monday's game against the Pacers for left knee injury management.
Ingles isn't believed to have suffered a setback with his surgically repaired knee since making his season debut Dec. 19; instead, his absence Monday is likely related to the fact that the Bucks are opening a three-game week with a back-to-back set. Ingles should be back in action Tuesday against the Raptors and isn't likely to face any restrictions.

Bucks' Joe Ingles: Not on Saturday's injury report

Ingles (knee) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Heat.
Ingles sat out Thursday's game against Miami due to left knee injury management, but he'll be back in action for Saturday's rematch. Over his last three appearances, he's averaged 10.0 points and 4.3 assists in 23.0 minutes per game.

Bucks' Joe Ingles: Won't play Thursday

Ingles is out for Thursday's game versus the Heat due to left knee injury management.
Ingles is likely sitting out Thursday's back-to-back for rest. Pat Connaughton, Jordan Nwora and MarJon Beauchamp are candidates to see extended minutes in his absence. Ingles should be good to go for Saturday's rematch with the Heat.

Bucks' Joe Ingles: Big night from long distance
Rotowire
Ingles ended with 17 points (6-14 FG, 5-11 3Pt), three rebounds and five assists across 28 minutes off the bench during Monday's 111-107 win over New York.
The Bucks used a barrage of threes late in the game to secure a comeback victory, and Ingles' five buckets from beyond the arc led the club. The 28 minutes were also his biggest workload of the season since returning from a torn ACL in mid-December. The 35-year-old forward is showing signs of regaining his pre-injury form.

Bucks' Joe Ingles: Sitting out Wednesday
Rotowire
Ingles will miss Wednesday's game versus the Raptors for return to conditioning purposes, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Ingles is essentially getting a rest night in the first back-to-back the Bucks have played since making his season debut. Given the significant nature of the injury -- a torn ACL -- he's returning from, it wouldn't be surprising if Ingles sits out one game of back-to-backs for a while. He figures to be back in action Friday against the Hornets.

Bucks' Joe Ingles: Sneaky double-double Friday
Rotowire
Ingles contributed 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), five rebounds and 10 assists across 24 minutes during Friday's 123-114 victory over the Timberwolves.
Ingles had easily his best game as a Buck, compiling a sneaky double-double during his 24 minutes. With Jrue Holiday (illness) sidelined, Ingles assumed the role of chief playmaker, something he did quite often during his time with the Jazz. Nights like this are unlikely to come around all too often but if you can catch him at the right time, he could have some value as an assists streamer.

Bucks' Joe Ingles: Handles small role in return
Rotowire
Ingles (knee) played 15 minutes and finished with zero points (0-4 FG, 0-4 3Pt), two assists, one rebound and one steal in Monday's 128-119 win over the Pelicans.
Making his Bucks debut and playing in his first NBA game since Jan. 30, 2022, Ingles looked rusty in his return from a torn ACL. He recorded more turnovers (three) than any other statistic and came up empty from behind the three-point line, but the Bucks are hopeful he'll get comfortable over the next several games and emerge as a reliable rotation player. However, Ingles is unlikely to regularly surpass 25 minutes now that he's healthy again, making him unworthy of a pickup outside of deeper fantasy leagues.

Bucks' Joe Ingles: Will play Monday
Rotowire
Ingles (knee) is set to make his debut in Monday's game against the Pelicans, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Ingles is still slated to miss Saturday's matchup against Utah but was given the green light for Monday's game after completing 5-on-5 activities Saturday without suffering a setback. Considering Ingles has been out for 10 months, he'll likely be under significant restrictions while he works his way back to 100 percent.

Bucks' Joe Ingles: Targeting season debut Monday
Rotowire
Ingles (knee) is setting Monday's game against the Pelicans as the target date for his season debut, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
The Bucks just need to see Ingles go through a final 5-on-5 workout Saturday before clearing him to make his team and 2022-23 debut. The veteran tore his ACL last season after appearing in 45 games and averaging 7.2 points, 3.5 assists and 2.9 rebounds in 24.9 minutes. That's probably the ceiling for his production in Milwaukee, as he'll presumably compete with Pat Connaughton, George Hill and Wesley Matthews for minutes off the bench. Expect Ingles to be on a minutes limit out of the gate.

Bucks' Joe Ingles: Returns to Bucks
Rotowire
Ingles (knee) was recalled by the Bucks on Saturday, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Ingles got in a practice session with the Herd on Saturday but has rejoined the Bucks following the session as he recovers from the ACL surgery he underwent in February. He's not expected back until after the calendar is flipped to 2023, and there's no target date at this point.
