It appears Joe has either got over an injury or there has been a change in approach by the Jazz.
a) Ingles playing more and therefore gaining confidence and shooting more OR
b) the fact that he has started to shoot more resulted in increased time?
Thoughts?
He is now a threat so teams can't sag off making him and team more effective.
woudlnt u think the logical reason is that there are injuries to other jazz players ??? burks had surgery hence more minutes to joe..

Could be, but one guy being injured doesn't explain why a guy who didn't get on the court not long ago now has 26 & 20 minutes and has shot it 10 & 8 times Vs barely taking a shot in his few minutes he got on the court in previous minutes.
Burks wouldn't seem to be the player taking Ingles minutes either

I think it has a fair bit to do with the injuries but the fact that he has shot the ball well and made use of his minutes when he got on helped. Played well in the Clips game the other day.

Completely to do with injuries. Burks out long term, plus Gobert out long-term with the addition of Favors' back problems have stretched Utah's already super thin frontcourt.
Burks, Hood and Hayward have taken over his minutes on the wing this season, but he is getting mins now that Burks is out and the frontcourt is thin.
Coach Snyder likes him and trusts him in any position he needs to fill-in for.
