Watch: Timberwolves' Teague ejected after body checking Rubio into sidelines

Jeff Teague's temper got the better of him Friday.

With the Minnesota Timberwolves trailing late in the fourth quarter against the Utah Jazz at Vivint Smart Home Arena, Teague proceeded to send Jazz point guard Ricky Rubio flying into the sidelines with a body check as the Spaniard was racing up the floor.

Jazz forward Jae Crowder went right after Teague to confront him, with nearby officials separating the two before things escalated.

Teague was assessed a flagrant-2 foul for his actions, and immediately ejected. Crowder was also ejected for jawing with Timberwolves head coach Tom Thibodeau.

Teague joined teammate Karl-Anthony Towns in the locker room, who was ejected earlier in the game after picking up a second technical foul.
