Free agent forward Torrey Craig signs with Celtics

Free agent forward Torrey Craig has agreed to a deal with the Boston Celtics, Mark Bartelstein of Priority Sports told ESPN's Shams Charania on Thursday.

Craig was waived by the Chicago Bulls earlier this week to clear roster spots following their trade of Zach LaVine. The veteran appeared in just nine games this season for a Bulls team prioritizing youth.

In his eighth year in the league, Craig provides the Celtics with more wing depth. Boston traded young guard Jaden Springer earlier in the week in a cost-cutting move. Craig fills one of two open spots on Boston's roster.

Craig, 34, has extensive playoff experience, appearing in 75 postseason games with the Denver Nuggets and Phoenix Suns.
