Craig finished Thursday's 123-105 victory over Philadelphia with 12 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 20 minutes.
The Celtics were extremely shorthanded Thursday, allowing Craig to see some rare rotation minutes. With an average of 10.3 minutes across six appearances for Boston, fantasy managers can mostly ignore this outlier performance from Craig.

Celtics' Torrey Craig: Slides back to bench
Rotowire
Craig will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.
Craig played 15 minutes in a spot start Tuesday, but he'll yield to Al Horford on Wednesday. Still, there should be some minutes for Craig off the bench due to Jaylen Brown's (thigh) absence.

Celtics' Torrey Craig: Scores four points in spot start
Rotowire
Craig tallied four points (2-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt) and three rebounds over 15 minutes during Tuesday's 111-101 win over the Raptors.
Craig was inserted into the starting lineup right before Tuesday's tipoff due to Kristaps Porzingis being a late scratch with an illness. Craig struggled from beyond the arc, but he managed to play the complimentary role that he was signed to fill. Porzingis' status, as well as that of Al Horford (toe) and Luke Kornet (personal) for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, will be worth monitoring as it will impact Craig's playing time.

Celtics' Torrey Craig: Starting sans Porzingis
Rotowire
Craig will start in Tuesday's game against Toronto, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.
With Kristaps Porzingis (illness) now listed as doubtful for Tuesday's contest, Craig will draw his first start as a member of the Celtics. The veteran forward has appeared in only two outings with his new club, and he has accumulated six points, four blocks, two rebounds and two assists across 18 total minutes.

Celtics' Torrey Craig: Gets nine minutes in team debut
Rotowire
Craig (ankle) tallied six points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt), one assist and one block in nine minutes off the bench Wednesday in the Celtics' 116-103 win over the Spurs.
Craig was cleared to make his Celtics debut upon completing a reconditioning period after he had missed time with a right ankle sprain before being waived by the Bulls earlier this month. The 32-year-old wasn't a regular part of the Chicago rotation, and playing time will be similarly hard to come by in Boston, even though he made an impact during his time on the court Wednesday. The Celtics were without Jaylen Brown (knee) and Jrue Holiday (shoulder) against the Spurs, and assuming at least one of those two players is cleared to play coming out of the All-Star break, Craig will be a prime candidate to exit the rotation.

Celtics' Torrey Craig: Available against Spurs
Rotowire
Craig (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Craig hasn't played since late December due to a significant ankle injury, but he'll be available to make his Celtics debut Wednesday after being cut by the Bulls. It's unclear how the veteran forward will mix into Boston's rotation, so fantasy managers can take a wait-and-see approach before looking Craig's way on waiver wires.

Celtics' Torrey Craig: Questionable for Wednesday
Rotowire
Craig (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Craig has been working on getting his conditioning up to par after recovering from an ankle injury. Once healthy, Craig is likely to be an emergency depth option for the Celtics.

Celtics' Torrey Craig: Remains out
Rotowire
Craig (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Heat, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Craig is still working his way back from from a right ankle injury and is labeled with a reconditioning tag. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against San Antonio, which is Boston's final contest before the All-Star break.

Celtics' Torrey Craig: Won't play Saturday
Rotowire
Craig is out Saturday's game versus the Knicks due to a right ankle return-from-injury reconditioning, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Craig signed with the Celtics earlier this week but won't be available to make his Boston debut Saturday due to a nagging ankle injury. While it's unclear what role the veteran forward will have when available, his next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Miami.
Craig (ankle) agreed to a contract with the Celtics on Thursday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Craig opened the season with the Bulls but hadn't played since late December due to a right lower leg contusion and a right ankle sprain before being waived Monday. After clearing waivers, the veteran forward quickly caught on with Boston, where he'll likely serve in a depth role for the remainder of the season. The 33-year-old journeyman will play for his sixth NBA team once he suits up for the Celtics, with his debut potentially coming as early as Saturday against the Knicks in New York, according to Jared Weiss of The Athletic. He averaged 6.9 points and 2.8 rebounds in 12.6 minutes per game over his nine appearances with Chicago before being cut loose.
Craig and Chris Duarte were roster casualties with the Bulls needing to open up a pair of extra spots for two of their three trade acquisitions in Kevin Huerter, Zach Collins and Tre Jones. The 34-year-old Craig had been sidelined since late December due to a right ankle sprain, but he took part in the Bulls' shootaround prior to Sunday's loss to the Pistons and could be nearing a return to full health. Craig averaged 6.9 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.7 three-pointers in 12.6 minutes per game over nine appearances for the Bulls before going down with the injury.

Bulls' Torrey Craig: Not ready to return
Rotowire
Craig (ankle) participated in shootaround Friday. Still, head coach Billy Donovan said the veteran forward needs more time before returning to the floor for Chicago, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Craig will miss a 16th straight game for the Bulls on Friday while he nurses a right ankle sprain. However, he seems to be trending toward returning sooner rather than later after participating in shootaround ahead of Friday's game against the Raptors in Toronto, which is a promising sign for Chicago.

Bulls' Torrey Craig: Remaining sidelined
Rotowire
Craig (ankle) is out for Friday's game versus the Raptors.
Craig will miss his 16th straight contest Friday due to a sprained right ankle. The Bulls haven't provided a concrete update on where he stands in his recovery, so Craig will most likely remain sidelined through the final game of the team's road trip Sunday in Detroit.

Bulls' Torrey Craig: Listed as out for Wednesday
Rotowire
Craig (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.
By the time Craig sees his next chance to return to the floor for the Bulls on Friday against the Raptors, he will have missed over a month of action due to a sprained right ankle. With Zach LaVine on paternity leave for Wednesday, Patrick Williams figures to enter Chicago's starting lineup while Matas Buzelis handle a larger role from the bench.

Bulls' Torrey Craig: Remains out Monday
Rotowire
Craig (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Denver.
Craig hasn't played since Dec. 30 due to a right leg contusion and a right ankle sprain, but the Bulls are only listing him with the latter injury at the moment. Even if Craig is cleared to play in the Bulls' next game Wednesday at Boston, he likely won't be part of the rotation.

Bulls' Torrey Craig: Out at least two weeks
Rotowire
The Bulls announced Monday that Craig (lower leg) will be re-evaluated in two weeks, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Craig has missed the Bulls' first six games of January due to a right lower leg contusion, and he apparently hasn't made enough progress in his recovery for the Bulls to view him as day-to-day. The forward has largely been outside of the Chicago rotation throughout the season, appearing in just nine contests while averaging 6.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.2 steals and 0.1 blocks across 12.4 minutes.

Bulls' Torrey Craig: Out next two games
Rotowire
Bulls coach Billy Donovan said Monday that Craig (leg/ankle) will be sidelined for a while, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
On top of Craig's lower leg injury, he's also battling an ankle sprain. Craig does not have a timetable for a return, but it's safe to rule him out for Chicago's upcoming back-to-back set -- Tuesday versus the Pelicans and Wednesday against the Hawks.
