Hawks' Teague out again with ankle injury
Brett Davis / Reuters
All-Star point guard Jeff Teague will miss his second game in as many nights when the Atlanta Hawks take on the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday.
Teague, who rolled his ankle on Wednesday, also sat out Friday's victory over the Miami Heat as the Hawks clinched the Eastern Conference's No. 1 seed.
Given that comfortable positioning leaving them with little left to play for, the Hawks are wise to be cautious with Teague, who's averaging 16.3 points, seven assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.7 steals.
Sophomore guard Dennis Schroder started in Teague's place on Friday and is expected to draw the start again.
