Torrey Craig Expresses Strong Interest in Returning to Celtics: “I Love Everything About Boston”
Veteran NBA forward Torrey Craig has made headlines with a heartfelt declaration about his admiration for the Boston Celtics and his desire to rejoin the storied franchise if the opportunity arises.
Speaking candidly in a recent interview, Craig didn’t hold back his affection for the team and the city. “I love everything about Boston,” he said. “From the fans to the culture to the way the organization handles its business—there’s a real winning energy there. I’d absolutely love to be a part of that again.”
While Craig has never suited up for the Celtics during a regular season, he has previously trained and worked with members of the organization, forging connections and gaining a close-up view of the team’s inner workings. His appreciation for the Celtics’ tradition and competitive mentality has clearly stayed with him.
The 33-year-old forward has built a reputation in the league as a tough, defense-first wing who brings hustle, physicality, and playoff experience—traits that align well with Boston’s identity. Craig has had stints with several teams, including the Denver Nuggets, Phoenix Suns, Milwaukee Bucks, and Chicago Bulls, making his mark as a reliable role player capable of contributing on both ends of the floor.
As the Celtics continue their pursuit of an NBA championship, depth and experience remain priorities for the front office. With Craig’s skill set and veteran savvy, he could provide valuable minutes off the bench, particularly in high-pressure postseason scenarios.
There is no official indication yet that Boston has reached out to Craig or plans to pursue him in free agency, but his public comments may spark interest or open the door for future discussions. Given his desire to join a team with championship aspirations and a system that values defensive grit, the Celtics could be a natural fit.
Whether or not a reunion comes to fruition, Craig’s words reflect the respect he holds for one of the league’s most iconic franchises—and his clear desire to contribute to its continued success. For now, Celtics fans can take pride in knowing that Boston remains a place where players want to be.
