After a brief, 51-game stayover with the Pacers, Torrey Craig has been traded to the team where he finished last season, returning to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for Jalen Smith and a future second-round pick, reports ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarwoski.
Unready to contribute on a contender and often playing out of position, Smith has only appeared in 29 games for the Suns this season, but the 6-foot-10, 215-pound center in a four-man’s body averaged 9.7 points and 8.1 rebounds over an 11-game stretch in January, including snatching 14 rebounds against the Pacers, when DeAndre Ayton, Jae Crowder, and JaVale McGee were each in health and safety protocols at various stints.
