NEW YORK CITY — Torrey Craig sat in the bleachers of Madison Square Garden, surrounded by a crowd of reporters at Celtics’ shootaround. Just a few feet away, Al Horford got up three-pointers alongside a handful of Celtics assistants, while Jaylen Brown went through his full-speed shooting routine on the other end of the court.
It hadn’t even been a full hour since the team officially announced the 34-year-old veteran’s signing — but Craig was nonetheless happy to be around the team after a whirlwind 24 hours that saw him fly from Chicago to Boston, receive a tour of the facilities, complete his physical, and ultimately join his new team in New York City late Friday.
