Torrey Craig Nearing Deal With Sydney Kings

According to Uluc, Craig is expected to join Sydney for the remainder of the 2025/26 NBL season, which runs through February 20. The NBL playoffs (technically called the finals) are in March and April.

Craig has spent the past eight years in the NBA. He was waived by the Bulls in February and signed with the Celtics for the remainder of the ’24/25 campaign a few days later.

The 35-year-old expressed interest in re-signing with Boston in May, but the Celtics chose not to retain him over the offseason and he didn’t land with any other NBA clubs either. Craig represented Team USA for a pair of AmeriCup qualifying games in November as he auditioned for teams around the globe.

After going undrafted out of the University of South Carolina Upstate in 2014, Craig spent three seasons in the NBL, Uluc notes. He used that stint as a springboard into a long NBA career.

In 458 career regular season appearances, including 171 starts, Craig averaged 5.9 points and 3.9 rebounds in 19.5 minutes per game, with a shooting line of .452/.354/.701. The 6’5″ combo forward had a reputation as a solid defender who provided energy and hustle off the bench.
