Torrey Craig Out Two Weeks Due to Ankle Injury

Chicago Bulls forward Torrey Craig will be sidelined for at least two more weeks due to a sprained right ankle, having already missed six games since sustaining the injury on December 30. Craig, who has appeared in only nine games this season, averaged 6.9 points and 2.8 rebounds in those outings. The Bulls, currently 18-21, are expected to rely more on younger players in Craig's absence, which may affect their strategy as the NBA trade deadline approaches. His limited playing time this season could complicate potential trade discussions, as teams may hesitate to evaluate him adequately before the deadline. Coach Billy Donovan will miss Craig's presence, particularly as he offers a stabilizing 3-and-D option off the bench. Craig will be re-evaluated in two weeks to assess his recovery and readiness to return to action.
