Phoenix Suns forward Torrey Craig is planning to play in Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the Milwaukee Bucks, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Craig was listed as probable on Sunday's injury report after suffering the injury in Game 2. The MRI came back clean, and he's now looking good to go as the Suns try to take a commanding 3-0 lead in the series.
Losing Craig would have been another tough blow for Phoenix's depth after already losing Dario Saric to a torn ACL earlier this series. The 30-year-old has been a key reserve for the Suns after spending time at the beginning of the season with Milwaukee.
Craig only played 11.2 minutes per game in 18 contests for the Bucks before he was traded out to the desert. In 50 games with Phoenix, the forward averaged 7.2 points and 4.8 rebounds in 18.8 minutes per game. He shot 50.3% from the field and 36.9% from 3-point range.
Craig's playing time has gone down in the playoffs, with averages of 4.3 points and 3.2 rebounds in 12.5 minutes per game. He's shooting 44.6% overall and 44.1% from 3 in the postseason.
While Craig isn't as important as the Suns' key players, he's still a versatile weapon to bring off the bench. He can guard multiple positions and hit 3-pointers at a respectable rate. It's good to see that he's going to be able to play in Game 3.
