Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports / Reuters

Jeff Teague of the Atlanta Hawks has been assessed a flagrant-2 foul for hitting Minnesota Timberwolves forward Nemanja Bjelica in the face in Monday's game, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution's Chris Vivlamore.

Teague will reportedly receive no further penalty, as he had no flagrant points. A flagrant 2 assessed during a game results in automatic ejection.

Teague smacked Bjelica in the face while trying to take an intentional foul in the fourth quarter of Minnesota's win. No call was made on the floor, but the NBA announced Tuesday it would review the play. The league's Last Two Minute Report called it a "punching" foul.
