UPDATE 10:45PM
Joe Ingles ended up getting stitches after the game. Crazy enough, this is the first time the habitual instigator has received stitches. Joe Ingles also said he fulfilled a life long goal of trending on twitter.
Jazz forward Joe Ingles ends with 19 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists after returning with a bandaged head wrap to beat Memphis 96-88. Ingles became aware that he was trending on social media after getting 4 stitches. “That’s what I’ve been striving for my whole life,” he joked. pic.twitter.com/s3ASeM4eqi

Original Story
Joe Ingles is known for being a tough guy, but he took that reputation to legend status tonight as he was hit across the face and began bleeding.

Utah’s trainers first started to use a glue to try to close the wound, but, as they began re-taping Joe Ingles’ finger, the glue compound had broke and Ingles was bleeding on his face once again. So Joe Ingles did what any good soldier did. He took the tape that was for his finger and had the trainers wrap his head like a Revolutionary soldier.

There was one last foul by Marc Gasol on Joe Ingles before the game was over. Joe Ingles jokingly said to Quin Snyder, “Yo, just get me out of this game.” To which Marc Gasol replied, “I’ve got one more.”
NBA is undefeated.
All hail Headband Joe.
