The Indiana Pacers have acquired Jeff Teague from the Atlanta Hawks as part of a three-team trade.

The Utah Jazz will acquire George Hill from Indiana as part of the deal. The Jazz will send the 12th overall pick to the Hawks as part of the deal.

Teague will be a free agent in 2017 and the Hawks will go forward with Dennis Schroder at the point guard position.

Celtics Shopping No. 3 Pick For Butler, Hayward, Parker, Middleton

Jun 22, 2016 12:04 AM

The Boston Celtics have been pursuing a number of established veterans, building a trade package around the third overall pick in Thursday's draft.

The Celtics have been working to put together a package for either Jimmy Butler, Gordon Hayward, Jabari Parker or Khris Middleton.

Boston, so far, has been unable to make any progress with the Bulls, Jazz or Bucks, respectively.

The Celtics acquired the third overall pick from their 2013 trade with the Brooklyn Nets, giving them the rare opportunity to be a playoff team with such a high draft pick.

Dante Exum Won't Participate In Olympics For Australia

Jun 19, 2016 9:46 AM

Danté Exum will not participate in Australian National Team activities this summer.

Exum will instead focus on his preparation for the 2016-17 Jazz season. His rehabilitation and recovery process has continued to progress accordingly, and he was recently cleared for full-contact basketball activities.

“At this stage the most important thing for me right now is to continue training,” said Exum. “It's been great to be back on the court competing, and I'm really motivated to help the Jazz have a successful season this year. My support and best wishes will be with the Boomers this summer, and I look forward to future opportunities to represent my home country.”

The 20-year-old guard underwent successful surgery to repair the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee on Sept. 3, 2015, after having sustained a tear of the ACL on Aug. 4 while competing for the Australian National Team in a game against the Slovenian National Team in Ljubljana, Slovenia. As a result of the injury, he missed the entire 2015-16 NBA season.
