Jeff Teague’s final season with the Atlanta Hawks wasn’t his best in the NBA, and that may have been thanks to the fact the new Indiana Pacers point guard says he was dealing with a torn patella tendon.
With the Hawks last season, his points, assists, and field-goal percentage were all down. For a player of his pedigree, it seems likely that his injury was at least partially is responsible for that decline.
Though it wasn’t widely reported, Teague himself told the world that, during a season that he had to deal with trade rumors, he was also struggling with a knee issue.
