The Aussie sharpshooter brought up his 1,000th career 3-pointer for the Jazz, becoming the first player in franchise history to reach that mark, extending his lead at the top of the all-time leaderboard.


With his third triple of the night, Ingles reached the mark, spotting up from the right wing. He finished with 13 points, five rebounds and four assists on 4-of-6 from the field and 3-of-5 from the 3-point line as the Jazz held on for a 122-110 win to move to 3-0 on the season.

That wasn't the only big milestone of the night as reigning Sixth Man of the Year Jordan Clarkson reached 8,000 career points with this triple in the third quarter, much to the delight of the home fans.

“Every time Jordan is on balance and goes up, you think it’s going to go in," Jazz head coach Quin Snyder said. "I thought Joe, when they were switching or blitzing, used his size and his ability to pass, find people and make it easier on everyone.”
