Immanuel Quickley Misses Practice On Thursday
2 months agoToronto Raptors point guard Immanuel Quickley (pelvic) did not participate in Thursday's practice for the Raptors after being pulled from Wednesday's season opener during the second quarter after suffering a right pelvis contusion. His status for tomorrow is officially listed as doubtful. Initially head coach Darko Rajakovic had said Quickley would be questionable for tomorrow's matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. The downgrade in status is discouraging for fantasy owners but the initial thought that Quickley may be questionable should help ease concerns about the seriousness of the injury. Toronto plays a back-to-back starting tomorrow and it would not be surprising if the team gives the 25-year-old extra rest to be ready for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. In the meantime, fantasy managers should look to Davion Mitchell as the man who will pick up starts for Quickley. Mitchell put up eight points and three assists in 25 minutes of action last night, though that was buoyed with five turnovers. His fantasy value may be iffy as a sub, though he should continue to log high minutes as long as Quickley is out.
