The Boston Celtics have signed veteran forward Torrey Craig to strengthen their bench after trading Jaden Springer to the Houston Rockets. Craig, who was recently waived by the Chicago Bulls, brings 3-and-D capabilities and defensive toughness to the Celtics' roster, which is crucial as they aim for another successful season.

Craig's recent stint in Chicago saw limited playing time, averaging 6.9 points and 2.8 rebounds per game in nine appearances this season. He is expected to enhance Boston's floor spacing with his shooting, holding a career 3-point shooting percentage of 35.5%. This addition is timely for the Celtics as they look to maintain their competitive edge in the Eastern Conference.
