Utah Jazz forward Joe Ingles is upbeat about the chances of the NBA soon staging an exhibition game in Australia.Ingles believes that given Australias record contingent of eight NBA players and the success of this years NBA Basketball Without Borders event in Victoria, the next step was to host a game Down Under.He floated the idea of an all-Australian team of NBA players taking on a U.S. select squad and predicted tickets would sell out within minutes by fans hungry to see the worlds best basketball players.I think it can happen, Ingles told Australian reporters on a conference call on Thursday.I think with eight of us playing over here it is a great time to do it.Play it however you want. Aussies versus Americans or split them up.I think it is a great idea and will sell out really quickly - within minutes really.The NBA has taken pre-season games around the globe and even regular-season games to Japan, England and Mexico, but are yet to reward Australias rabid NBA fanbase.Australias NBA players - Ingles, Dante Exum, Patty Mills, Andrew Bogut, Matthew Dellavedova, Thon Maker, Ben Simmons and Aron Baynes - are leading the way for a game in their homeland.In May, Dellavedova said a NBA game in Australia?could fill a football stadium.But Scott Levy, NBA Managing Director Asia, said the league had no immediate intention of bringing a game to Australia.We dont have any plans to bring a game now and I dont think wed be willing to put a timeframe on that right now, but we do appreciate theres a lot of fans in Australia that are passionate about that, Levy said.Ingles said they pushed for Basketball Without Borders, which involved camps and promotions with NBA players and within months it became a reality.The Jazz are tipped by bookmakers and NBA analysts this season to make the playoffs for the first time since 2012.The team - despite stars Gordon Hayward, Derrick Favors and Alec Burks out with injuries - was impressive early in Tuesdays opening game in Portland against the Trail Blazers, leading 83-77 going into the final quarter before falling 114-103.Portlands All-Star guard Damian Lillard was unstoppable in the last period, scoring 16 of his 39 points.Exum, who missed last season with a torn ACL suffered while playing for the Boomers, played just eight minutes in Portland and said coach Quin Snyder was easing him back in.They dont want to throw me into the deep end straight away, Exum, who joined Ingles on the conference call, said.I think it is just going to be a process of making sure Im ready to step into that.The Jazz play their next game on Friday (Saturday AEDT) in Utah against the Los Angeles Lakers.
