MILWAUKEE — Phoenix Suns reserve forward Torrey Craig was available to play in Game Three of the NBA Finals on Sunday night (Monday, Manila time) after injuring his right knee in Game Two.
Craig hurt his knee during a collision with driving former teammate Giannis Antetokounmpo in the third quarter of Phoenix's 118-108 victory over Milwaukee on Thursday night. The Suns lead the series 2-0.
"He'll play," Suns coach Monty Williams said on Sunday. "He had a good workout yesterday. He's got some soreness, but everybody does."
