(INDIANAPOLIS, IN) - The Pacers formally introduced Jeff Teague to the media on Monday.
Teague was acquired via a three-way trade between Indiana, Atlanta and Utah that sent George Hill to the Jazz and the No. 12 overall pick in this year's draft to the Hawks.
Teague, an Indianapolis native that has a "317" area-code tattoo on his arm said it felt good to be home.
"I'm happy to be here. This is home. I've always wanted to play here and I think I can come in here and help."
