Raptors Injury News: Immanuel Quickley out for Game 1
Immanuel Quickley has been ruled out for game one of the best-of-seven series between the Toronto Raptors and Cleveland Cavaliers with a right hamstring strain.
The point guard sustained the injury on the last day of the regular season in a 136-101 blowout win over the Brooklyn Nets, where he registered just four points, two rebounds, five assists and two steals across 16 minutes of action as he had to leave the game early.
The Kentucky product had featured in 3 games to close out the regular season since returning from a right foot plantar fasciitis injury he sustained against the Phoenix Suns back on March 23rd, and missed just 12 games this season after just being able to feature in just 33 contests in a tanking 2024/25 season for the Toronto Raptors.
Quickley had an up and down year for the Raptors, but was able to come away with a career high of 8 double-doubles across 70 starts while averaging a career high of 31.9 minutes per game, while also reaching career highs in field goals per game at 5.7, assists per game at 5.9 and steals per game at 1.3.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, veteran backup center Thomas Bryant is the lone name out for tonight’s contest with a left calf strain, and he last featured for them on April 6, when he started and recorded a 14-point, 10-rebound double-double over 26 minutes of action.
Darko Rajakovic refused to reveal who will replace Quickley in the starting five, as it looks like we should find out closer to tipoff.
