Torrey Craig lost in the NBA Finals with the Phoenix Suns, but he will get an NBA Championship ring because he played for the Milwaukee Bucks earlier in the season. The Indiana Pacers have now officially signed Craig.

More on the announcement can be read here from the Pacers. 

Back on August 2, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the agreement was for two-years, $10 million (see Tweet below).

Craig played in the NBA Finals last season for the Phoenix Suns (who lost in six games to the Milwaukee Bucks), but ironically will still be getting an NBA Championship ring. 

That's right. 

Craig also played for the Bucks earlier in the season, so he will still get a ring (see Tweet below from StatMuse).

Congratulations Torrey Craig for winning his first championship!

No matter who wins the Finals, he will get a ring for playing for both the Suns and Bucks this season.
