If you've already created the team folder, you can then share a sub folder under it using /2/sharing/share_folder, and then add the group as a member using /2/sharing/add_folder_member.
That would look like this:
curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/share_folder \ --header "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \ --header "Dropbox-API-Select-Admin: <ADMIN_MEMBER_ID>" \ --header "Content-Type: application/json" \ --data "{\"path\": \"ns:<TEAM_FOLDER_ID>/<SUBFOLDER_NAME>\"}" curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/add_folder_member \ --header "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \ --header "Dropbox-API-Select-Admin: <ADMIN_MEMBER_ID>" \ --header "Content-Type: application/json" \ --data "{\"shared_folder_id\": \"<SHARED_FOLDER_ID>\",\"members\": [{\"member\": {\".tag\": \"dropbox_id\",\"dropbox_id\": \"<GROUP_ID>\"}}]}"
