Born in Washington, D.C., she played college basketball at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
In the 2002 WNBA draft, Teasley was selected as the #5 overall pick by the Portland Fire. But shortly afterwards, she was traded with Sophia Witherspoon to the Los Angeles Sparks for Ukari Figgs and second-round pick Gergana Slavtcheva.
