MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Minnesota Timberwolves have ruled point guard Jeff Teague out for their game at Milwaukee because of an injury to his left knee that occurred the previous night.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press reports that Teague will be out indefinitely after an MRI conducted Thursday revealed a sprained MCL in his left knee, a source confirmed. Teague suffered the injury late in the fourth quarter of Minnesota’s 128-125 overtime victory over Denver, when Gary Harris rolled up on his knee going for a loose ball that resulted from a jump ball.
He limped off the court Wednesday night in the final minute of the fourth quarter of the team’s overtime victory over Denver. Teague had 11 points and 10 assists before departing, with Tyus Jones taking his place in the lineup.
The 29-year-old Teague, in his first season with the Wolves, is averaging a career-high 34.2 minutes per game, with 13.4 points and 7.3 assists and a 44.7 field goal percentage. He missed four games last month because of an Achilles injury on his right foot.
