The Toronto Raptors will take on the Brooklyn Nets in their final preseason game tonight.
Toronto is 2-2 in exhbition play and they will look to close things out with a win.
Immanuel Quickley is officially listed as questionable for the game. RJ Barrett, Ja’Kobe Walter and Bruce Brown are all out. Garrett Temple and Kelly Olynyk did not practice on Oct. 17 and they seem unlikely to play.
Quickley may make his preseason debut for the Raptors tonight, but his status will likely be revealed right before the game. Quickley has been battling a left thumb injury and if he does play against the Nets, he will likely work on limited minutes.
If Quickley does suit up, Davion Mitchell will most likely head back to the bench as the primary backup point guard. This game will be important for the Raptors starters to get in some more reps before the regular season begins on Oct. 23.
One thing to monitor in this game is who will emerge with the Raptor final roster spot. Jamison Battle has been impressive and it looks like he will edge out Bruno Fernando for that last spot. If Battle can once again emerge with a nice performance, he will certainly clinch it.
