Mandatory Credit: Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images Toronto Raptors point guard Immanuel Quickley will sit out Game 1 of the Eastern Conference first-round series versus the host Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday afternoon due to a strained right hamstring, head coach Darko Rajakovic announced.
Quickley exited Toronto's regular-season finale against the Brooklyn Nets on Monday after logging just 17 minutes of playing time. He underwent an MRI after the game.
Quickley, 26, averaged 16.4 points, 5.9 assists and 4.0 rebounds in 70 games (all starts) this season.
He has averaged 14.4 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 394 career games (168 starts) with the New York Knicks and Raptors.
Quickley was the 25th overall pick of the 2020 NBA Draft and started his career with the Knicks. He spent two-plus seasons in New York before being traded to Toronto on Dec. 30, 2023. Quickley, fellow guard R.J. Barrett and a second-round pick in the 2024 NBA Draft went to New York for forward OG Anunoby, center Precious Achiuwa and guard Malachi Flynn.
