Immanuel Quickley is back on the injury report for the Toronto Raptors.
He is is dealing with left hip soreness and is questionable to play against the Golden State Warriors tonight, according to TSN’s Josh Lewenberg.
Quickley played 32 minutes against the Detroit Pistons on Saturday and he was not listed on the Raptors’ initial injury report.
If Quickley doesn’t play, the Raptors will likely slot Ochai Agbaji back into the starting lineup and will play without a traditional point guard. Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett will take on the playmaking duties.
Jamal Shead has played well lately but he’s likely to remain as the Raptors primary backup point guard. He has overtaken Davion Mitchell in the rotation, but with Quickley out, Mitchell could re-enter the rotation to give the Raptors another point guard from off the bench.
Quickley hasn’t been able to stay healthy this season playing in only 9 games to this point. He had a pelvic injury earlier in the year and a UCL sprain that sidelined him for 22 games. As a result, the Raptors have only had a four-game sample size of their projected starting five.
B/R re-grades Pascal Siakam & O.G. Anunoby trades
Last season featured major change for the Toronto Raptors.
The team opted to trade Pascal Siakam and O.G. Anunoby. The moves paved the way for Scottie Barnes to be the franchise player.
Bleacher Report’s Grant Hughes re-graded those trades by Toronto, giving the Raptors a “B” for the Anunoby deal and an “A-” for the Siakam deal.
