Torrey Craig probably won’t play for the Bulls the remainder of the month. He’s been diagnosed with a right ankle sprain and will be reevaluated in two weeks, the team tweets.
Craig has already missed the past six games due to what was listed as a leg contusion. Craig has only appeared in nine games this season after seeing action in 53 games last season, his first with the Bulls. Craig, 34, will be an unrestricted free agent after the season.
On a positive note, guard Ayo Dosunmu could return to action on Wednesday, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Sports Network tweets. He went through scrimmages with some of the team’s reserves on Monday. He’s been sidelined by a calf injury since Dec. 23.
We have more from the Central Division:
- The Cavaliers had their 12-game winning streak snapped by the Pacers on Sunday. Indiana outscored Cleveland 68-40 in the second half. “What disappointed me was our first half was phenomenal, defensively, and then the second half, we fell off,” Cavs coach Kenny Atkinson said, per ESPN News Services. “So, we couldn’t sustain our defense. Just disappointed.”
- The Bucks were hammered by the Knicks 140-106 on Sunday and that didn’t sit well with franchise player Giannis Antetokounmpo. He’s tired of seeing his team taken apart by the Eastern Conference’s elite. Milwaukee is 0-8 against the top three teams in the East, ESPN’s Chris Herring said. “We’ve gotta get our stuff together. It’s as simple as that. We did not beat Boston. We did not beat the Cavs. We didn’t beat the Knicks,” Antetokounmpo said. “Those are the top three teams, and we’ve played horribly against them.”
- Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton is listed as doubtful for the team’s rematch with the Cavs on Tuesday, Scott Agness of Fieldhouse Files tweets. He experienced left hamstring tightness in Sunday’s game and did not return for the second half.
