Veterans swingman Joe Ingles went through successful knee surgery. 

As reported by the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday, Ingles took a medical procedure to address the ACL tear in his left knee. He is set to begin his rehabilitation the following week while taking a full shutdown for the remainder of the season. 

After succumbing from a season-ending tore ACL against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Jan. 30, the fan-favorite Ingles was traded by his long-time team Utah Jazz to the Blazers on Feb. 9. Before going down, he had an average of 7.2 points, 3.5 assists, 2.9 boards in almost 25 minutes of game time. 

On Twitter, the 34-year-old Australian expressed his optimism regarding the long recovery he is about to endure.
