Drummond, who was following on the break, thought Craig was passing the ball to him, however.</p><p>The result? Drummond almost posterized his own teammate.

Like I said, create some excitement for us, try to give us a bit of an edge and just make a run.

Chicago had the early advantage midway through the first half. However, Torrey Craig was struck with an injury scare after an awkward landing.</p><h2><b>Torrey Craig looks to bounce back for the Bulls after scary ankle injury</b></h2><p>With under three minutes left in the first quarter, Craig caught an outlet pass and drove in for an open layup. Unfortunately, Clippers guard Norman Powell trailed Craig and landed on the back of the forward’s ankle:</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Torrey Craig went down with a scary ankle injury on this play. </p><p>Hope he’s alright 🙏<a href="https://t.co/Td90p9OazX">pic.twitter.com/Td90p9OazX</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1766577290547179564?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 9, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Thankfully, Craig walked it off and eventually <a href="https://twitter.com/KCJHoop/status/1766576903400395067" rel="noopener">returned to the game</a>, per Bulls Insider K.C. Johnson. Hopefully, the veteran forward can stay healthy. He has been an important part <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-news-lonzo-ball-takes-massive-step-towards-long-awaited-return" rel="noopener">of Chicago’s rotation</a>.</p><p>The 33-year-old averages 5.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 0.6 steals, 0.5 blocks, and shoots 37.0% on three-pointers through 34 games played. Chicago continues to rely on Craig more amid star guard Zach Lavine’s absence.</p><p>Lavine dealt with a nagging foot injury that required season-ending surgery. He was one of the Bulls’ top scorers before the team sidelined him. Nevertheless, Chicago has had phenomenal offensive help from DeMar DeRozan and Coby White.

LA entered the matchup at 40-21, good for fourth place in the Western Conference standings. Meanwhile, the Bulls arrived at 31-32, which ranks them ninth in the East.</p><p>With the end of the regular season quickly approaching, Chicago needs to win as many games as possible for a chance at the NBA Playoffs. Can the Bulls build more momentum and take care of business in Los Angeles?</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Craig suffered this injury during the All-Star break, and the Bulls’ medical staff will re-evaluate him in two-to-four weeks, meaning he could possibly remain on the sidelines through the majority of March.</p><p>After signing a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-news-nba-free-agency-torrey-craig-suns" rel="noopener">two-year, $5.4 million contract</a> with Chicago in the offseason, Craig has proven to be a positive factor on the wing when healthy. Unfortunately, the 33-year-old has only played in a total of 33 games this season. In December, Craig suffered a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-news-torrey-craig-critical-billy-donovan-injury-update-amid-lengthy-absence" rel="noopener">plantar fascia injury</a> that was originally labeled with an 8-to-10 week recovery period. He ended up missing just under seven weeks and 22 total games before returning to the court in early February.</p><p>Now, Craig will be sidelined yet again, only this time as a result of his right knee injury. Starting forward Patrick Williams is also dealing with a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bulls-news-patrick-williams-crucial-injury-update-ahead-all-star-break" rel="noopener">left foot issue</a>, leaving the Bulls very shorthanded on the wing entering the stretch run of the season.</p><p>This season, Craig has averaged 6.1 points and 4.7 rebounds per game, shooting 42.5 percent from the floor and 37.4 percent from three-point range. He currently ranks fifth on the team in three-point shooting percentage.</p><p>Although oftentimes viewed as an undersized forward, Craig has always been a durable two-way presence. His tough-minded approach on defense was one of the main reasons why the Bulls looked to sign him to a two-year deal in the offseason.</p><p>Once again, the Bulls are stuck dealing with injuries on their roster, a reoccurring theme that has held them back from reaching their full potential. With Craig out, as well as Williams’ status being uncertain, Chicago will turn to Terry Taylor and rookie Julian Phillips for extra depth at both forward positions.</p><p>The Bulls will provide further updates on Craig’s status in a few weeks, although it is unlikely that he will be able to return to the court right away upon being cleared.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
