Torrey Craig Will Remain In Starting Five
Torrey Craig will remain in the starting five ahead of Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. The assumption was that Craig would head to the bench with Coby White (hip) available for this game. Instead, Craig will remain in the starting unit while White comes off the bench. The veteran forward offers more to the Bulls on the court than he does to fantasy managers. Although, the fact Craig is still a starter does give him a boost in value heading into this contest.

Torrey Craig Will Miss At Least Two More Weeks
Torrey Craig (ankle) will miss at least two weeks before being re-evaluated. The Bulls have only had the versatile veteran forward for nine games this season, and he has been sidelined since December 30 with what was originally called a lower leg contusion. The team announced on Monday that he has been diagnosed with a right ankle sprain and will be out for at least two weeks. When available, Craig averaged just 6.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 0.6 assists in 12.3 minutes per contest. He has flashed some upside, including scoring 18 points in his most recent game. However, the Bulls will continue to make their rotation work without him, leaving more work for Matas Buzelis, Talen Horton-Tucker, and Julian Phillips.

Torrey Craig Remains Out Sunday
Torrey Craig will miss a sixth straight game with a right lower leg contusion that has sidelined him since December 30. Craig averaged just 6.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 0.6 assists in his nine games this season and averaged 12.3 minutes per contest. The veteran did flash upside with 18 points in his most recent game against the Hornets, but he'll continue to be a non-factor for fantasy on Sunday.

Torrey Craig Likely Out Saturday
Torrey Craig (leg) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's matchup against the New York Knicks after missing practice Friday. If Craig cannot suit up, he will miss his second consecutive contest due to a lower right leg contusion. The 34-year-old has only reached the 20-minute mark twice this season, so he doesn't have a significant role in the Bulls' rotation. Matas Buzelis and Julian Phillips should fill Craig's minutes if unavailable.

Torrey Craig Will Not Play On Wednesday
Torrey Craig (lower leg) has been ruled out for Wednesday's meeting with Washington. Chicago has downgraded him from doubtful to out. This is unfortunate for the veteran, who just put together his best performance of the season with 18 points on Monday versus Charlotte. However, Craig reached the 20-minute mark for only the second time this season on Monday and doesn't play a significant role in the rotation. The rest of the Bulls forwards, like Matas Buzelis and Julian Phillips, should fill Craig's minutes on Wednesday.
