Teague will not go on Hawks’ injury list after turning ankle

Jeff Teague will be available for the Hawks game at the Magic Sunday after twisting his ankle in Friday’s win at the Celtics.

Teague turned his ankle on a drive to the basket and came out with 4:32 remaining in the third quarter. Dennis Schroder replaced Teague and played the remainder of the game, including the entire fourth quarter of the Hawks’ comeback win.

Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer acknowledged after the game that Teague hurt his ankle. He said the combination of Schroder’s play and Teague’s extended time on the bench was the reason for keeping his starting point guard out.

The Hawks have removed Tiago Splitter (right hip rehabilitation) and Mike Scott (left knee contusion) from their injury list. Kyle Korver and Thabo Sefolosha (both right ankle rehabilitation) remain as probable.
