The Celtics signed Teague to a one-year deal worth more than $2.5 million prior to the 2020-21 campaign. In 34 games with the franchise, he averaged 6.9 points, 1.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game while shooting 41.5% from the field and 46.4% from deep.

The 32-year-old has been in the NBA since 2009 and has also played for the Atlanta Hawks, Minnesota Timberwolves and Indiana Pacers.

It's unclear if another team will pick up Teague off waivers.
