Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Officially out Wednesday
Rotowire
Quickley (groin) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Boston, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
After missing Monday's game against the Warriors, the Raptors updated Quickley's injury from hip soreness to a left groin strain. He wasn't able to practice Tuesday, but he's still listed as day-to-day which means a return against the Bucks on Friday could be on the table. Davion Mitchell will likely see extended minutes against Boston.

Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Dealing with groin strain
Rotowire
Quickley is battling a left groin strain and is considered day-to-day, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
The Raptors previously described his injury as hip soreness, so it appears to be a little more serious. Quickley did not practice Tuesday and Lewenberg is reporting that the guard is unlikely to suit up against Boston on Wednesday. If Quickley is unable to play, Davion Mitchell would likely see extended minutes for Toronto after getting 27 against the Warriors on Monday, though he didn't do much with them -- he finished scoreless with six assists.

Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Not playing Monday vs. Golden State
Rotowire
Quickley (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Warriors, Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun reports.
Raptors' head coach Darko Rajakovic said Monday that Quickley has been dealing with a left hip issue, which flared up earlier in the morning and will prevent him from playing against Golden State, per Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca. Quickley will have his hip re-evaluated Tuesday, which will provide a better picture on whether he'll be able to play Wednesday against the Celtics. Davion Mitchell and Jamal Shead will both see increased playing time Monday due to Quickley's injury.

Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Downgraded to questionable
Rotowire
Quickley is questionable for Monday's game versus the Warriors with left hip soreness, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.
Quickley was a late addition to the injury report and that's a big concern for fantasy managers. The Raptors may not want to push Quickley at less than 100 percent considering how their season has gone so far. If the point guard sits, Bruce Brown and Jamal Shead could see more run, and it's possible that Davion Mitchell could sneak back into the rotation.

Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Scores season-high 25 points
Rotowire
Quickley posted 25 points (7-20 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 7-7 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Saturday's 123-114 loss to Detroit.
Quickley didn't have his best shooting percentage, as he made only 35 percent of his 20 shots from the floor, but that was enough to record a season-high scoring output. Quickley could experience an uptick in his fantasy value if he shows more consistency on a game-to-game basis, though. Over his six appearances since returning from an elbow injury, Quickley has surpassed the 20-point mark thrice, but he's failed to score more than 11 points in the other three.

Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Leading scorer for Raps in loss
Rotowire
Quickley recorded 22 points (7-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 112-98 loss to the Knicks.
The former Knick delivered a solid revenge game, leading the Raptors in scoring while posting his highest points total since returning from an elbow injury at the beginning of January. In four games since rejoining the lineup, Quickley is averaging 16.3 points, 8.5 assists, 3.0 boards, 2.0 threes and 0.8 steals, and Wednesday was the first time in seven appearances this season he's shot better than 50.0 percent from the floor. If he can stay healthy, Quickley could be poised for a very productive second half of the season.

Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Struggles from field Friday
Rotowire
Quickley ended Friday's 106-97 loss to Orlando with 11 points (4-17 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and 11 assists over 33 minutes.
The shooting line was far from being efficient, but that shouldn't matter much as long as Quickley continues to fill the stat sheet. He posted a second straight double-double since returning from a 22-game absence due to a partial UCL tear in his left elbow. His presence in the backcourt should give a sizable boost to the Raptors on offense while relieving some of the playmaking pressure off the shoulders of players such as Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett (illness).

Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Returns to Toronto's lineup
Rotowire
Quickley is officially off the Raptors' injury report and will play against the Nets on Wednesday, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
After missing 22 games, Quickley returns to the active lineup Wednesday against Brooklyn, helping provide some backcourt depth for the struggling Raptors. He has played only three games this season due to a pelvis contusion and then an elbow sprain. Quickley is expected to face heavy restrictions for at least a few games given his lengthy layoff and surprise return to action.

Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Could make return Wednesday
Rotowire
Quickley (elbow) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Brooklyn.
This news comes as a huge surprise to fantasy managers, as recent reports indicated that Quickley was still waiting to get cleared for contact. He's been sidelined since mid-November. The Raptors have been cautious with his rehab, so if he does get the green light Wednesday, it's fair to expect heavy restrictions in his first game back.

Rotowire
Quickley (elbow) has begun incorporating his left arm into recent workouts, but he's still not ready for full-contact drills, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.

He's been limited to individual drills since being diagnosed with a partial UCL tear in his left elbow in mid-November.

Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Will get more imaging on elbow
Rotowire
Head coach Darko Rajakovic said Monday that Quickley is scheduled to get follow-up imaging on his left elbow next week, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Quickley was diagnosed with a partial UCL tear in his left elbow in mid-November, and he has missed the Raptors' last 13 games as a result. There's no surgery planned to repair the damage, and it appears rest and rehab continues to be the plan for the 25-year-old guard out of Kentucky. Jamal Shead and Davion Mitchell should proceed to benefit from Quickley's absence in terms of playing time.

Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Return likely weeks away
Rotowire
Quickley (elbow) isn't expected to be ready to return to game action until mid-December at the earliest, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Quickley was diagnosed Nov. 12 with a partial UCL tear in his left elbow, and though he was scheduled to be re-evaluated this week, Lewenberg noted at the time of the diagnosis that the point guard would likely miss around a month. Nothing appears to have changed with Quickley's timeline since he suffered the injury, and so long as he's able to avoid surgery on the elbow, he should remain on track to resume playing by the second half of December. Quickley has been limited to just three appearances in his first full season with Toronto, as he also missed eight games with a right pelvic contusion before suffering the elbow injury.

Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Will miss at least one week
Rotowire
Quickley was diagnosed with a partial tear to the ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow Tuesday and will be re-evaluated in one week, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Quickley sustained a pelvic contusion during the season opener and missed eight straight games. He scored 21 points in his return against the Clippers on Nov. 9, but after only two appearances, he's now hitting the shelf again for at least a week. The only bright side is that the injury isn't to Quickley's shooting arm, which presumably means a quicker recovery time. Regardless, Davion Mitchell is set to move back into the starting lineup, while backup wings Jamal Shead, Jamison Battle and Ja'Kobe Walter (shoulder) will be candidates for increased roles in Quickley's absence.

Quickley (pelvis) notched 21 points (8-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, three rebounds and one steal across 26 minutes during Saturday's 105-103 loss to the Clippers.
Quickley played and started for the first time since the season opener after missing eight games due to a right pelvic contusion. Even though the floor general was playing under a minutes restriction, he didn't look rusty and delivered an impressive all-around stat line. If he stays healthy, Quickley should be in line for the highest usage rate of his career as one of the Raptors' top playmakers.
