MANKATO – There was a lot about last season that was new for 32-year-old veteran Jeff Teague — and none of it was welcome.
There were injuries, which cost Teague 40 games and ultimately led to ankle debridement surgery late in the season. Teague had never missed more than 12 games in any previous season.
"It was very frustrating," Teague said. "Never really been injured before like that, so it was new to me."
Then there was the playoff streak. Teague had never missed the playoffs in his career, until last season.
"That was really awkward," Teague said.
