The Milwaukee Bucks are signing point guard Jeff Teague, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Teague will fill Milwaukee's hole at backup point guard after the team traded DJ Augustin for P.J. Tucker last month.

The move reunites the 32-year-old with former Atlanta Hawks head coach Mike Budenholzer. Teague enjoyed his best years under Budenholzer, including his lone All-Star season in 2014-15.

The veteran started the campaign with the Boston Celtics, helping keep the team's backcourt rotation afloat in star guard Kemba Walker's absence. In 34 appearances, Teague averaged 6.9 points, 2.1 assists, and 0.8 steals in just over 18 minutes per game.

The Orlando Magic waived Teague last week after acquiring him as part of the trade package for shooting guard Evan Fournier.
