Beloved Timberwolves Forward Joe Ingles Signs Contract to Play in Australia Next Year

Australian basketball great Joe Ingles signed a two-year contract with Melbourne United after his Minnesota Timberwolves concluded their 12-year NBA career following playoff elimination last weekend.
Nearly 20 years after beginning his professional career with the now-defunct South Dragons, Ingles returns to Melbourne, citing desire to reconnect with family and friends after years playing abroad.
Fellow Boomers teammate Chris Goulding welcomed the signing, saying, "His decision-making, leadership and shooting abilities make him a great teammate and someone that everyone will love to play with."
Joining a Melbourne United team in transition, the 203cm veteran aims to elevate the roster after the club finished fifth in the 2025/26 season with a 20–13 record.
As a five-time Olympian, Ingles could eye a fifth FIBA World Cup appearance next year in Qatar, where new Boomers coach Adam Caporn will lead the national team.
