The Atlanta Hawks left point guard Jeff Teague at the Palace of Auburn Hills following Atlanta’s 112–95 win over Detroit. Teague, who had 12 points and 12 rebounds in the win, was left standing outside with a pizza box in his hands after the team bus had left.

Fortunately for Teague, it appears his sister was able to pick him up.
