Raptors' Immanuel Quickley ruled out for remainder of first round

Immanuel Quickley has been ruled out for the rest of the Toronto Raptors‘ first-round series against the Cavaliers, ESPN’s Tim Bontemps notes.

Quickley missed the first three games due to a right hamstring injury. The team announced on Friday that, during the course of his ramp-up process, he re-injured the muscle, per insider Marc Stein.

The press release does not provide a timetable for return, nor does it indicate his status should the Raptors advance in the series, which they currently trail 2-1. Instead, it says that his status will be updated “as appropriate.”

After a lost season due to injury last year, Quickley played 70 games this season, averaging 16.4 points and 5.9 assists. In his playoff absence, Jamal Shead has started two games, and Ja’Kobe Walter started Game 3, a 126-104 victory.

It’s unclear who will start in Quickley’s place moving forward, whether Shead, Walter, or rookie Collin Murray-Boyles, who was very effective in Game 3, scoring 22 points and adding eight rebounds in 28 minutes off the bench.
