Pacers point guard Jeff Teague grew up Indianapolis, so when the Atlanta Hawks traded him to his hometown Pacers this summer, he didn’t have to look long for a place to stay.

Teague is living with mom and dad for an entire season because he’s the most cost-conscious starting point guard in the NBA.

In an interview with Fox Sports 97.5 in Indianapolis, the hosts joked that it would be cool if Teague just lived at home, and that’s when Teague — to their surprise — revealed that he actually is living at home.

Teague explained his decision to live in his parents’ basement for “the whole year.”

He said that he gave the house to his parents and is just moving back:

“I bought a home here some years back, and when I re-signed back with Atlanta, I just decided that I was going to live in Atlanta. And I just gave the house to my mom and dad. And now, I sold my house in Atlanta, so I’m moving back. So now I’m gonna live in my old house with my mom and dad.”

Teague said that his parents are keeping the master bedroom, so he’s staying the basement. He was lucky enough to get out of chores and a curfew.

Millennial jokes aside, this is a smart move from Teague. He’s returning to his hometown Indy on an expiring contract. The $8 million he’ll make in 2016-17 could get him a nice apartment in Indianapolis, but why spend money when you don’t need to? Sure, he could end up re-signing with the Pacers, but who knows what will happen? This way he can stay at a sick mansion with his family and not pay rent or worry about buying a house that he may want to sell after a year.

I see you, Teague. Good choice.
