Chicago Bulls send Marquis Teague to Iowa for D-League

The Chicago Bulls assigned guard Marquis Teague to the Iowa Energy of the NBA Development League, the team announced Thursday.

The 29th pick of the 2012 draft, Teague has appeared in 19 games this season and made two starts. He is averaging 2.4 points and 1.5 assists a game and has failed to crack the Bulls' rotation. That comes despite the injury to point guard Derrick Rose, which caused the Bulls to sign D.J. Augustin this week.

Teague played two minutes, without a point, rebound or assist, in Wednesday's Christmas Day win against the Brooklyn Nets.

The University of Kentucky product is the younger brother of Atlanta Hawks point guard Jeff Teague.
