MILWAUKEE (April 1, 2021) – The Milwaukee Bucks have signed free agent guard Jeff Teague.
Teague (6-3, 185) is in his 12th season in the NBA and has appeared in 805 career games (598 starts) with Atlanta (2009-16, 2020), Indiana (2016-17), Minnesota (2017-20) and Boston (2020-21).

Three of Teague’s best seasons in the NBA came in Atlanta from 2013-16 under current Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer, who was head coach of the Hawks at the time. In those three seasons, the Indianapolis-native averaged 16.0 points, 6.5 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game and was named an All-Star during the 2014-15 season.
Teague, who was originally selected by the Hawks with the 19th overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft out of Wake Forest, has also played in 71 playoff games (60 starts) in his career with Atlanta, Indiana and Minnesota. Thirty-three of those appearances came under Budenholzer in Atlanta when they advanced to the Eastern Conference Semifinals twice and the Eastern Conference Finals in 2015. In postseason action, Teague is averaging 13.5 points, 4.9 assists and 2.6 rebounds per game.
