Watch: Joe Ingles calls Blake Griffin a flopper
Joe Ingles and Blake Griffin had a funny exchange in which Ingles wasn’t shy about telling Griffin exactly how he felt.
During the first quarter of Monday’s game between the Utah Jazz and Detroit Pistons, Ingles made contact with the back of Griffin. Griffin appeared to embellish the contact. It apparently worked because Ingles was called for an offensive foul.
As the two walked up the court, Ingles was shown calling Griffin a “flopper.”

Ingles and Griffin had a funny exchange on Twitter last year. On Monday, Ingles took it to the court.
Ingles was in a joking mood all night. After hitting a three-pointer late in the fourth quarter, Ingles blew kisses in the direction of some Pistons fans.

Keep in mind that Griffin being accused of flopping is nothing new. He’s been called out for flopping many times in the past, by players and NBA analysts. Ingles isn’t breaking new ground here.
