TORREY CRAIG NEWS

On track for Monday Craig is listed as probable for Monday's game against Atlanta due to a toe sprain.

Impact Craig has suited up in four consecutive contests for Chicago since returning from a 22-game absence due to a right plantar fascia sprain, so his presence on Sunday's injury report could be more maintenance related. He's trending in the right direction for Monday's game.

Playing Saturday Craig (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against Orlando.

Impact Despite being included in the injury report and being tabbed as a game-time call, Baldwin will suit up, just like it happened with Coby White (ankle) and Alex Caruso (thigh). Baldwin should continue playing his role off the bench, though he doesn't have much fantasy appeal if he's deployed with the second unit.

Probable for Saturday's game Craig (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game against Orlando.

Impact Craig was able to suit up despite his sprained right ankle Thursday against the Grizzlies, and he'll likely be available once again Saturday. He tallied three points, five rebounds and an assist in 16 minutes Thursday.

Will suit up Thursday Craig (ankle) is available to play Thursday against the Grizzlies.

Impact Craig suffered a right ankle sprain during Tuesday's overtime win over the Timberwolves, and while he was doubtful earlier Thursday, in the end, he'll suit up and play off the bench.

Questionable for Thursday Craig (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Craig suffered a right ankle sprain during Tuesday's overtime win over the Timberwolves, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available two days later. If he's sidelined against Memphis, Julian Phillips and Terry Taylor could see additional playing time.

Active but limited Tuesday Craig (heel) will play on a minutes restriction Tuesday versus Minnesota, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.

Impact Craig will be on a minutes restriction in his second game back from a right plantar fascia sprain. He logged 14 minutes in Saturday's loss to Sacramento and will likely reprise a similar role Tuesday.

Probable for Tuesday Craig (foot) is probable for Tuesday's game against Minnesota.

Impact Craig played for the first time since Dec. 16 after a 22-game absence on Saturday versus the Kings, finishing with five points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and three rebounds across 14 minutes. He could potentially see a few more minutes Tuesday with Alex Caruso (adductor) considered questionable to suit up.

Gets light role in return Craig (heel) tallied five points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and three rebounds across 14 minutes in Saturday's 123-115 loss to the Kings.

Impact Craig was cleared to play for the first time since Dec. 16 following a 22-game absence due to a right heel plantar fascia sprain. Though the Bulls will be without Zach LaVine (foot) for the rest of the season and Patrick Williams (foot) through the All-Star break, Craig won't necessarily see his playing time increase dramatically from the 14 minutes he received Saturday. The Bulls have been making more use of small-ball lineups of late featuring Ayo Dosunmu and Alex Caruso as the team's starting wings, with DeMar DeRozan pushing up from small forward to power forward in the absence of Williams. With Dosunmu and Caruso both routinely clearing 30 minutes in recent contests, Craig likely won't have a path to more than 20-to-25 minutes per game even if he cements himself as the team's top forward off the bench.

Available to play Craig (heel) is available to play in Saturday's game against the Kings, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Craig was able to practice on Friday and has the green light to return after being sidelined since mid-December. With how shorthanded the Bulls are, Craig could earn himself a large role going forward. The veteran holds averages of 6.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.1 three-pointers this season.

Chance to return Saturday Craig (foot) was a full participant during Friday's practice and has a chance to play in Saturday's game against the Kings, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Craig's official status for Saturday's game will be released Friday night, but it sounds like he could be listed as questionable for the first time since landing on the injury report. The veteran forward has been out since mid-December, but he's on the verge of a return, though he figures to be limited to a reserve role during his first game back.

FEBRUARY 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out for Wednesday Craig (heel) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Craig has been out since mid-December, but he does appear to be on the cusp of a return, so perhaps he'll be able to get back out there for Saturday's game versus Sacramento. However, he'll likely be brought back slowly, so he can safely remain on waiver wires just about everywhere.

JANUARY 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Upgraded to doubtful Craig (heel) has been upgraded to doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Craig has been sidelined since mid-December and was initially given a 4-to-6-week timetable, and it sounds like a return is on the horizon. That's good news for a Chicago team that will be without Patrick Williams (foot) for at least a couple weeks. Craig holds averages of 6.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.1 three-pointers this season.

Cleared for light jogging Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said Wednesday that Craig (heel) has resumed light jogging, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Craig's progression to light jogging marks a small step forward from last week, when Donovan said Craig had been limited to doing cardio work on a treadmill. The 33-year-old forward still has several more checkpoints to hit in his rehab program for an acute sprain of his right plantar fascia, so he may not be a realistic option for the Chicago rotation until shortly before or after the All-Star break.

JANUARY 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting to ramp up Coach Billy Donovan said Friday that Craig (heel) is going to start ramping up by running on the treadmill and doing standstill shooting, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.

Impact Craig was diagnosed with an acute sprain of his right plantar fascia in mid-December and was expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks. A month later, he still appears far away from returning to game action. However, if his ramp-up process goes well, Craig could start practicing with the team in a week or so.
