Craig will come off the bench during Sunday's Eastern Conference quarterfinal-round Game 1 matchup against the Magic, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Craig started two of the last three regular-season games for Boston, but he 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.

Celtics' Torrey Craig: Starting vs. Orlando
Rotowire
Craig is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Magic, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.
The Celtics are resting all of their regular starters, which will allow several non-regulars to see action in this contest. Craig has averaged 10.5 minutes per game off the bench in 10 appearances since the beginning of March.

Celtics' Torrey Craig: Swats three shots
Rotowire
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.
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.

Celtics' Torrey Craig: Back in rotation Wednesday
Rotowire
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.
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.

Celtics' Torrey Craig: Back in rotation Tuesday
Rotowire
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.
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.

Celtics' Torrey Craig: Notches 12 points
Rotowire
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.

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.

Torrey Craig: Cut by Chicago
Rotowire
Chicago waived Craig (ankle) on Monday.
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.

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.
