Immanuel

Quickley

Quickley was a late addition to the injury report with right ankle soreness, but ended up leading the Raptors in points in a victory over the defending champion Thunder on Sunday. The 26-year-old point guard was efficient with 23 points on 14 field goal attempts including six made three-pointers. Quickley has been incredible lately, providing first-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Raptors are off until Wednesday, when they take on the Knicks.

Quickley was added to the injury report Saturday night as questionable with right ankle soreness. The 26-year-old point guard is ultimately available for the matchup with the Thunder. Jamal Shead and Ja’Kobe Walter could see extra minutes if Quickley is limited or has a setback during the game.

Walter is back in the mix after missing Toronto’s last six games. While his availability won’t have a significant effect on fantasy basketball, there may be a few more minutes available if he isn’t under any restrictions. Immanuel Quickley (ankle) is a game-time decision, and his absence would open things up for multiple players.

Due to a sore right ankle, Quickley is a late addition to the Raptors’ injury report. If he’s unable to play against the Thunder, Jamal Shead is the most likely replacement in the starting lineup. However, with RJ Barrett, Scottie Barnes and Brandon Ingram available, there isn’t much to gain from streaming Shead.

Quickley shot the ball well on Friday and concluded as one of three Raptors to score at least 20 points. Although his scoring was important, he put together a balanced performance overall, falling a couple of rebounds and a few assists shy of a triple-double. Quickley’s performance against Portland was just the latest in what’s been a good stretch of play for him over Toronto’s three-game winning streak. He’ll have a chance to log another productive game on Sunday against the Thunder.

Quickley put on a show Tuesday night, only missing two shots from the field and matching his career-high in scoring. Add in the assists, and the Raptors’ guard had one of his most productive nights of the season. Over the past two weeks, Quickley has been a top-50 player in eight-cat formats. Tuesday’s performance was an excellent one for IQ after tallying nine points in Sunday’s loss to the Lakers.

Quickley returned to the Raptors’ lineup after missing two games, playing 29 minutes. The scoring was modest, but the seven assists were a nice tally after he failed to record any in Toronto’s January 12 loss to the 76ers. Quickley has been a top-100 player in eight-cat formats, and that production level should be relatively easy for him to maintain for the rest of the season.

Quickley is available after missing Toronto’s last two games. His return should push Ochai Agbaji to the bench, with Quickley starting alongside Jamal Shead.

Quickley did not play in Toronto’s last two games, with Ochai Agbaji serving as his replacement in Friday’s loss to the Clippers. Not only could Agbaji retain that role if Quickley can’t play against the Lakers, but it would also place more playmaking responsibilities on Jamal Shead’s shoulders.

Quickley is out after being downgraded to doubtful Friday afternoon with a back injury. Jamal Shead and Ja’Kobe Walter figure to be more involved in the Raptors’ rotation with Quickley out.
