Hawks guard Jeff Teague has been given a Flagrant Foul 2 following an NBA review of a non-foul call against Timberwolves forward Nemanja Bjelica in the final seconds of a 117-107 loss Monday, according to people within the leauge with knowledge of the decision.
The starting point guard will not face additional disciplinary action by the league in the form of suspension or fine.
The league's Last Two Minutes report issued Tuesday stated an incorrect non-call that Teague should have been called for a foul on Bjelica with 1:16 remaining. It then stated an incorrect non-call when Teague made contact, a punch it stated, with Bjelica after a rebound with 1:15 remaining and that the play was being reviewed by the league.
The incident occurred behind the play after Teague had a layup attempt blocked by Karl-Anthony Towns and Bjelica got the rebound. A video replay showed Teague, who appeared frustrated, reach around Bjelica and make contact with his face several times.
