Raptors’ Quickley day-to-day with mild hamstring strain

Published: 

Toronto Raptors point guard Immanuel Quickley has been diagnosed with a mild right hamstring strain and is considered day-to-day, the team announced on Monday.

The injury is on the same leg that Quickley has been dealing with plantar fasciitis.

The Raptors begin their first-round playoff series against the Cleveland Cavaliers this coming Saturday, April 18.

The guard appeared to sustain the injury in Sunday’s 136-101 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday. He played 17 minutes before exiting, scoring four points and adding five assists.

Quickley, 26, started a career-high 70 games this season and averaged 16.4 points, a career-high 5.9 assists, and 4.0 rebounds per game.

The Kentucky product has played six NBA seasons with the Raptors and New York Knicks, averaging 14.4 points, 4.1 assists, and 3.5 rebounds in 394 games (168 starts).

The Raptors claimed the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference with Sunday’s win, leaping over the Atlanta Hawks and clinching the club’s first playoff berth in four years.
