Professional career

Following a junior basketball career with the South West Metro Pirates of the Queensland Basketball League, Teys signed with the Brisbane Bullets of the NBL as a development player in 2008 but the club folded before the season commenced.[1] Teys followed former Bullets coach Joey Wright to the Gold Coast Blaze, where he played sparingly over three seasons.[1] After the Blaze folded before the start of the 2012–13 NBL season, Teys played with the Townsville Crocodiles for two games in 2012.[2]

Teys was encouraged by Wright to sign with the Adelaide 36ers following the latter's appointment as head coach for the 2013–14 NBL season.[2] Teys was named captain of the 36ers for the 2017–18 NBL season.[3] He was appointed 36ers co-captain alongside Kevin White for the 2019–20 NBL season.[4]
