Ingles has also spent time with the Milwaukee Bucks and Utah Jazz.
His career averages are 8.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists per contest while shooting 44.8% from the field and 41.0% from the three-point range in 704 regular season games.
He has also appeared in 57 NBA playoff games (40 starts).
Via Wojnarowski: "The departure of Kyle Anderson to the Warriors played a part in opening door for Ingles’ shooting and playmaking to make even more sense for roster. Another veteran with significant playoff experience for the Western Conference finalists."
