Jeff Teague took to Instagram to report personal injury news on Thursday, and shortly after his revelation, further details emerged. Teague described his injury as a "tear in my patella" in his initial post, but Mike Mazzeo of ESPN reports that Teague suffered a partial tear of his patellar tendon.

News that Teague will be back on the basketball court soon is highly encouraging, as is the fact that he was able to avoid surgery.
