Marquis Teague removed from American Airlines flight due to blanket mishap

Former Kentucky Wildcats point guard Marquis Teague is part of one of the oddest holiday stories you’ll see.

It happened when Teague was traveling with the Memphis Hustle on Christmas Eve. Teague and his G-League squad were flying with American Airlines when he and his teammate, Trahson Burrell, were escorted off the flight after being accused of stealing blankets from the airline, according to The Undefeated.

After being given blankets upon entering the aircraft, a flight attendant accused Teague and Burrell of stealing the blankets once being seated.
