Jeff Teague (ankle) a late scratch for Minnesota

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague (ankle) is a late scratch and will not suit up against the Miami Heat on Friday.

What It Means:

Teague had been announced as a starter for this one, but he's a late scratch just minutes before tip. Look for Tyus Jones to likely move into the starting lineup, while Aaron Brooks should see a significant up-tick in playing time.

numberFire's models had projected Teague for 34.2 minutes before the injury, and his absence should leave plenty of minutes available.
