Misplay of the Day: Teletovic throws it away, then ties shoes while Hawks hit 3

It was heartwarming to see Mirza Teletovic back on the floor for the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night, three months ahead of schedule after blood clots formed in his lungs in January.
Still, much as his return may have provided the Nets an emotional lift, Teletovic showed some serious rust after three months away from competitive basketball.
He shot 0-of-2 and didn't score in four minutes of action, staying on the floor just long enough to execute the biggest goof of the night: throwing the ball away in his own backcourt, then, inexplicably, bending down to adjust the laces of his shoes while Atlanta Hawks sharpshooter Kyle Korver nailed a wide-open triple.
