Jeff Teague played with torn patella in 2015-2016, according to Jeff Teague's Instagram

Jeff Teague has been in the news during the off-season, as a report surfaced that the Atlanta Hawks and Philadelphia 76ers were discussing a swap that involved the veteran point guard in exchange for Nerlens Noel. Now, though, Teague is breaking his own news, as he took to Instagram to reveal that he played on a torn patella tendon during the 2015-2016 season.

This is, of course, huge news for the soon-to-be 28-year-old point guard, as Teague is set to enter a contract year in 2016-2017 in addition to the trade rumors. Teague struggled in many aspects during the 2015-2016 season, taking a sizable step back from his breakout, All-Star season in 2014-2015, but he did manage to shoot 40% from beyond the three-point line, which helped Teague to maintain real value offensively.
