This weekend, the folks at the Mary Ingles Trail Association will once again set up their re-enactment camp at Beech Fork State Park to celebrate the life of their namesake
It seems Joe Ingles is ready to put the past behind him. The whole narrative of Paul George vs. Joe Ingles is a little bit old in my mind,” Ingles said. “It s Jazz vs. Clippers now. … I personally don t read into the 1-on-1 stuff. That was three years ago. My twins could barely speak then and now they annoy the hell out of me.”
The George/Ingles beef stretches back to the 2017-18 season, when George’s Thunder squared off against the Jazz in the first round of the playoffs. There was copious amounts of shoving, trash-talking and a general air of disdain between the two wings during the series, which ultimately ended with the Jazz winning 4-2. This series was also the genesis of the infamous “Playoff P” nickname with which George gifted (cursed?) himself.
