It's only a matter of time before Jeff Teague gets slapped—no pun intended—with some sort of punishment by the league. During tonight's game between the Atlanta Hawks and Minnesota Timberwolves, Teague got tangled up with Nemanja Bjelica as Ricky Rubio started to dribble to the other side of the court.

For a brief second, the Hawks star point guard let his emotions get the best of him after he didn't get a call from the ref, slapping Bjelica in the face before making his way to the other side of the court as well.

As The Cauldron points out, the referees missed the smack, but the league probably won't. Stay tuned. The NBA's fine announcement is coming soon.
