Craig exercised his $2.8 million player option with the Bulls for the 2024-25 season Saturday, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
Craig will remain with the Bulls and will try to build his market value back up after an injury-plagued campaign in 2023-24. In 53 appearances for the Bulls, Craig produced averages of 5.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.1 three-pointers in 19.8 minutes.

Bulls' Torrey Craig: Grabs 15 boards in win
Rotowire
Craig provided 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), 15 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Friday's 129-127 win over the Wizards.
Craig's 34 minutes marked his most played all season. His 15 rebounds were also good enough for a season high. It remains to be seen if the Bulls will again sit all their starters in Sunday's regular-season finale in New York, as that could lead to another healthy workload for Craig.

Rotowire
Craig is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Wizards.
Craig will draw his first start since March 25 due to the majority of Chicago's first unit taking a seat for Friday's matchup. He's averaging 13.0 minutes through five April appearances but should be in line for a larger workload in Washington.

Bulls' Torrey Craig: Scores 12 points in start
Rotowire
Craig notched 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 27 minutes during Thursday's 126-111 loss to the Clippers.
Craig got the start Thursday with Coby White out with a mild hip strain he sustained Wednesday against the Pacers. Craig was able to score in double digits for the second-straight time after previously not reaching that mark since Dec. 16. Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported before Thursday's game that White could be back for Saturday's matchup against the Wizards, and if that's the case, Craig figures to return to his regular bench role.

Bulls' Torrey Craig: Injury report mainstay
Rotowire
Craig is probable for Thursday's game against the Clippers due to a right ankle sprain.

Bulls' Torrey Craig: Returns to injury report
Rotowire
Craig is probable for Wednesday's game against Indiana due to a right ankle sprain.
Craig carried a probable designation into Monday's loss to Dallas due to the same injury, so the veteran appears to be dealing with routine maintenance. An absence from him or Julian Phillips (foot), who is questionable, would leave Chicago's cast of forwards very shorthanded, however.

Bulls' Torrey Craig: Limited output in return
Rotowire
Craig (knee) logged 14 minutes off the bench in Thursday's 125-122 win over the Warriors, finishing with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two assists, one rebound and one block.
Making his return from a seven-game absence due to a right knee sprain, Craig was on a 12-to-16-minute restriction in his first game back in action. He ended up settling right in the middle of that restriction, but he could see a slight increase in playing time as he gets further removed from the knee injury. Craig typically handles a low-usage role on offense and doesn't offer standout production in any one area, so he's worthy of consideration only in the deepest of leagues.
