Torrey Craig News, Rumors, Updates - Boston Celtics

Back to bench for Game 1 Craig will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Magic, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Impact Craig started two of the last three regular-season games for Boston, but didn't make much of an impact during that span, failing to score in those two starts. The 33-year-old veteran will be in the second unit for Game 1 against Orlando.

Back in starting lineup Craig is in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Hornets on Sunday, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Impact Craig will make his second start in three games due to Boston resting its top rotational players. In his last start against the Magic on Wednesday, he finished with zero points, seven rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 28 minutes.

Back in starting lineup Craig is in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Hornets on Sunday, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Coming off bench Friday Craig is not in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Hornets on Friday.

Impact Craig made his second start for the Celtics on Wednesday against the Magic but didn't manage to score in a 96-76 loss. He'll revert to a reserve role Friday while Jayson Tatum and Al Horford re-enter the starting five.

Starting vs. Orlando Craig is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Magic, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.

Impact The Celtics are resting all of their regular starters and this will open up the door for several non-regulars to see action in this contest. Craig is averaging 10.5 minutes per game off the bench in 10 appearances since the beginning of March.

Swats three shots Craig finished with three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists and three blocks over 16 minutes during Sunday's 124-90 win over the Wizards.

Impact Craig matched his season-best mark of three blocks, taking advantage of some garbage time in the blowout win. The Celtics are locked into the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference with four games remaining, so Craig may get a chance to see rotation minutes if the franchise sits their key rotation players for rest at any point.

APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE

Back in rotation Wednesday Craig ended with three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and three rebounds in six minutes during Wednesday's 132-102 victory over the Suns.

Impact Craig moved back into the rotation, albeit during garbage time only. It's been rough going for the veteran since arriving in Boston mid-season, playing in just 12 games. During that time, he is averaging modest numbers, putting up 3.3 points and 1.8 rebounds in 8.9 minutes per game.

MARCH 27 • ROTOWIRE

Back in rotation Tuesday Craig had two points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds over eight minutes during Tuesday's 104-96 victory over the Nets.

Impact Craig was back in the rotation Tuesday, suiting up for the Celtics for just the third time in the past six games. Even with an abundance of players missing time, Craig has been unable to carve out a meaningful role. He has played nine games since arriving in Boston, averaging 3.4 points and 1.9 rebounds in 9.6 minutes per contest.

MARCH 19 • ROTOWIRE

Notches 12 points 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.

Impact 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.

MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE

Slides back to bench Craig will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Scores four points in spot start 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.

Impact 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 do. Porzingis' status, as well as 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.

Starting sans Porzingis Craig will start in Tuesday's game against Toronto, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact With Kristaps Porzingis (illness) having been a late scratch 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.

Gets nine minutes in team debut 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.
