Jeff Teague suffered no ill effects from the wrist injury that limited him Saturday and the point guard will start against the Warriors on Monday.

“I’m OK,” Teague said Monday morning as he left shootaround.

Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer also said there was no issue with Teague.

Teague was limited to 18 minutes in the 117-109 double overtime loss to the Bucks Saturday after he got hit and said his right wrist “popped” in the third quarter. He finished with five points and five assists. Teague said after the game that the injury was not serious. He did come back into the game for 1:55 in the fourth quarter after Dennis Schroder took a hard fall.

Budenholzer said he elected to play Schroder most of the second half, including all of the two overtime periods, in part because of Teague’s wrist and in part because of the way Schroder was playing at the time.
