Chicago Bulls forward Torrey Craig (ankle) participated in the team's shootaround on Friday. However, head coach Billy Donovan said the veteran forward needs more time before returning to the floor, according to K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago. Craig is dealing with a right ankle sprain and will miss his 16th consecutive contest this evening. His participation in Friday's shootaround is good news for the Bulls though, as the 34-year-old veteran will likely return soon.
Chicago 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.
Chicago Bulls forward 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.
Chicago 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.
Chicago 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.
Torrey Craig Doubtful Wednesday Against Washington
Chicago Bulls forward Torrey Craig is likely to miss the Bulls' New Year's Day matchup with the Wizards due to a right lower leg contusion. Craig matched his career-high with five three-pointers in Monday's win over the Hornets while helping to fill in for Zach LaVine (toe), who is questionable. The 34-year-old veteran has only played 12.6 minutes per game this season and has only scored double-digit points three times. If he's out on Wednesday as expected with LaVine also out, Matas Buzelis, Julian Phillips, Talen Horton-Tucker, and Patrick Williams are all options to pick up more work in a favorable matchup against the Wizards. When LaVine returns, Craig will likely return to a limited role without much fantasy impact.
Chicago Bulls forward Torrey Craig (Achilles) is available ahead of Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Craig will make his way back to the court after missing each of the last eight games. His return is good timing with the Bulls being shorthanded for Monday's game. Both Josh Giddey (ankle) and Lonzo Ball (illness) are out, so Craig might see additional run. The veteran forward is only averaging 11 minutes per game this season. He might see a few more minutes on Monday, but he's not a recommended streaming option on Monday's busy slate.
Chicago Bulls forward Torrey Craig (heel) is listed as questionable for Monday night's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. Craig is dealing with left Achilles soreness and has missed Chicago's last eight games because of the issue. Chicago has been able to perform without Craig's three-and-D performance off the bench, going 5-3 in those eight games. The 34-year-old's health has been unreliable for Chicago this season as he's played in just six games this season and none of them consecutively. If Craig is unable to go on Monday, expect more time for Patrick Williams in the starting lineup while Matas Buzelis gets more minutes off the bench. Of the two, fantasy managers should prioritize Williams as the more reliable option.
Chicago Bulls forward Torrey Craig (lower leg) will be in the lineup on Friday against Atlanta. He hurt his lower leg versus Milwaukee on Wednesday but avoided serious injury, and the team has upgraded him from probable to available. Replacing Patrick Williams (foot), Craig made his first start of the campaign on Wednesday. The veteran produced a solid performance with 15 points, six rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block. However, he'll be heading back to the bench on Friday, with Ayo Dosunmu promoted to the first unit. Craig doesn't have fantasy value as a reserve.
Chicago Bulls forward Torrey Craig (illness) will sit out Saturday's matchup against Atlanta. He has been ruled out for the contest after initially carrying a questionable tag. Craig was a regular in the Bulls rotation last season, but he's been limited to only two games and a handful of minutes in 2024-25. The veteran misses a second consecutive game due to an illness on Saturday and will get the next chance to return on Monday night versus Cleveland.
