0 Jeff Teague PG

Teague put up 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-4 FT) and collected a rebound along with two assists and two steals across 26 minutes Tuesday against Philadelphia.

Teague finished with just two points in his last contest after tweaking his ankle, but he looked healthy and logged 26 minutes in an embarrassing 149-107 loss on the road. The 6-2 guard hasn't been overly impressive of late, averaging just 9.6 points and 2.6 rebounds over his last five games, although he has been effective in the assist column (6.8). The third-string point guard Tyus Jones went down with an ankle injury Tuesday evening, so it'll be up to Derrick Rose and Teague to handle point guard duties until Jones returns to health.

Teague (ankle) will play Tuesday against the 76ers.

As expected, a balky ankle won't prevent Teague from assuming his regular spot in the starting lineup Tuesday. Over his last five games, the point guard is averaging 12.0 points, 8.4 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 steals across 27 minutes.

Teague aggravated his ankle injury Saturday against the Pelicans, but he was able to both go through practice Monday and participate in Tuesday's morning shootaround. While he hasn't officially been cleared to play, the expectation is that the veteran will take the court against Philadelphia.

Teague (ankle) participated in shootaround but is still a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Dane Moore of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

Teague also went through a full practice Monday, so it seems very unlikely that the point guard will be held out of Tuesday's contest, but his status will still need to be confirmed prior to tip-off.

Teague (ankle) went through a full practice Monday, Jace Frederick of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Teague aggravated an ankle injury during Saturday's game, and while he initially played through the ailment, backup Tyus Jones played the final quarter-and-a-half at point guard. At first, it looked as though Teague could end up missing time, but he was not limited at Monday's session and was not included on the Timberwolves' injury report ahead of Tuesday's matchup with the Sixers.
