Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Still limited to individual drills
Rotowire
Coach Darko Rajakovic said Sunday that Quickley (elbow) remains limited to individual drills, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
As expected, Quickley is expected to remain out until mid-December at the earliest, despite some initial optimistic return timelines. The fourth-year guard was diagnosed with a partial UCL tear in his left elbow in mid-November, and for now, there's no surgery planned. Quickley has been limited to only three appearances in his first full season in Toronto, missing eight straight games with a right pelvic contusion before suffering the elbow injury.

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.

Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Practices, optimism for Saturday
Rotowire
Coach Darko Rajakovic said Quickley (pelvis) practiced Friday, and the team is optimistic the point guard will play Saturday versus the Clippers, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports. Quickley is officially listed as questionable.
Quickley has missed eight straight games since suffering a right pelvic contusion during the Raptors' season-opening loss to the Cavaliers. Saturday's game is the first half of a back-to-back set, so it may be a stretch to expect Quickley to play in both games.

Quickley (pelvis) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.
As expected, Quickley will miss a fourth straight game due to a pelvis injury he sustained during Toronto's regular-season opener. The Raptors announced Wednesday that Scottie Barnes is expected to miss at least three weeks after being diagnosed with an orbital fracture, so they'll need Quickely back in action as quickly as possible, with his next chance coming Friday against the Lakers. In Quickley's absence, Davion Mitchell should start at point guard again, but RJ Barrett will presumably run the offense.
