Immanuel

Quickley

Quickly figures to be one of the primary beneficiaries of Kawhi Leonard’s return to Toronto as he’ll be their primary facilitator while also having additional space and opportunities to operate behind the three-point line. The 27-year-old speedster drained 5-of-6 from long range during an extremely shooting performance in this one. He represents a top-60 range, early-round pick in all fantasy drafts this fall.

Like Scottie Barnes, Quickley did not play in the second half of Saturday’s preseason opener. Limited to 33 games in his first full season with the Raptors, IQ appeared in 70 games last season and was close to a top-50 player in nine-cat formats. While Kawhi Leonard will be a high-usage player in his return to Toronto, his presence should not negatively affect Quickley’s opportunities. With a current ADP of 97, he could be one of the biggest steals in fantasy basketball this season.

Walter has come up big for the Raptors the last two games, totaling 44 points on 14-of-29 shooting from the field. With Brandon Ingram (heel) exiting Game 5 during the second quarter and sitting out Game 6, not to mention Immanuel Quickley (hamstring) missing the entire series, the second-year wing’s contributions have been much-needed. Walter should get another start in Game 7 on Sunday, and the Raptors will need a similar performance if they’re to advance.

Quickley isn’t going to play at all in the Raptors’ first round series against the Cavaliers. The 26-year-old point guard suffered a hamstring injury during the regular season finale and missed the first three games of the series. Now Quickley has been ruled out for the rest of the series after having a setback during the rehab process. His absence remains a major blow to the Raptors and a break for the Cavaliers.

Walter gets the start in Game 3, replacing Jamal Shead, who had filled in for the injured Immanuel Quickley. Walter is averaging 10.5 points in 28.0 minutes per game in the playoffs.

Quickley’s 2025-26 playoff debut remains on hold, as the Raptors look to avoid falling behind three games on Thursday. Jamal Shead has filled in as Quickley’s replacement in the starting unit over the first two games against Cleveland; he could remain there in Game 3.

Quickley did not play in the first two games of this series, and the Raptors missed him dearly. Jamal Shead has been the replacement in the starting lineup, but Quickley’s presence helps unlock Brandon Ingram offensively. With Ingram struggling in the first two games, getting Quickley back on the floor could be huge for Toronto.

Quickley will miss a second consecutive playoff game as he recovers from a strained right hamstring. Jamal Shead started Saturday’s series-opening defeat, and Quickley’s absence factored into Brandon Ingram only attempting nine shots in Game 1. For Toronto to have any chance of winning Game 2, they need Ingram to be more involved as a scorer than he was on Saturday.

Quickley suffered a strained right hamstring during the Raptors’ regular-season finale and did not play in Saturday’s series-opening loss to the Cavaliers. If he’s able to return for Game 2, Jamal Shead would be bumped to the bench. Quickley’s return would also be good news for Brandon Ingram, who only attempted nine shots in Game 1.

Quickley is set to miss Game 1 against the Cavaliers on Saturday with a right hamstring strain. The 26-year-old point guard suffered the injury in the Raptors’ last game of the regular season. Ja’Kobe Walter and Jamal Shead are the logical candidates to replace Quickley in Saturday’s starting lineup.
