Jeff Teague Ruled Out for Monday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jeff Teague (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Head coach Tom Thibodeau recently said that Teague is getting "real close" to returning. Derrick Rose will continue to benefit with Teague sidelined.

Andrew Wiggins is Questionable for Monday
