Utah's Joe Ingles has played in 308 straight games, the longest current streak in the NBA, and he doesn't love the thought of players sitting out.
“Personally, I don't really like it,” Ingles said. “I enjoy playing. Obviously, if I'm injured or going to hurt myself or risk myself, I'm not going to do it. But I've been fortunate, obviously too, with injuries.
"I take pride in trying to play every game. And I think it's just something I've always done. I've tried to play as many games as you can, whenever you can. Obviously, health is No. 1, but, like I said, I've been lucky on that side of things. You obviously can't judge anyone else. You don't know what other people are going through, so hopefully, he's all right — we'll see him next time I guess.”
As for sitting out in Salt Lake, Leonard could have picked a worse place.
“It's a good place to rest,” Ingles quipped. “
Beautiful city; look out at the mountains.”
