Phoenix Lands Torrey Craig In Trade
4 years agoShooting guard/small forward Torrey Craig has been dealt to the Phoenix Suns, adding to the team's depth on the wing. Craig inked a deal with Milwaukee during the off-season, but he was a limited fit for the team's second unit, not scoring in double figures in any of his 18 appearances (in which he averaged just 11.2 minutes). The Suns reportedly had interest in Craig during the off-season before they inked Jae Crowder, with the duo now providing ample defensive reinforcements for a Suns squad that has soared up the standings. Abdel Nader and E'Twaun Moore stand to be the most affected parties of the acquisition, although Craig has limited fantasy intrigue in his own right until Phoenix showcases how he'll be utilized.

Torrey Craig Will Miss At Least Two More Weeks
3 months agoChicago Bulls forward 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 Likely Out Saturday
3 months agoChicago Bulls forward 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
3 months agoChicago Bulls forward 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.
