Raptors List Immanuel Quickley Questionable for Game 1 With Hamstring Strain

Toronto would lean on Jamal Shead and Ja'Kobe Walter if their starting point guard cannot go.

Overview

Head coach Darko Rajakovic labeled Immanuel Quickley questionable for Saturday’s playoff opener in Cleveland, and reports say his status may come down to a game-time decision.
Quickley has been limited to individual work in practice as the team keeps him day-to-day rather than putting him through full drills.
He left the regular-season finale against the Nets with right hamstring tightness in the same leg that recently had plantar fasciitis, and Rajakovic said he would undergo an MRI.
As Toronto’s primary ball-handler with 70 starts and averages of 16.4 points and 5.9 assists, his absence would strain the Raptors’ half-court offense and late-clock creation.
If he cannot play, guard Jamal Shead, who appeared in all 82 games, and Ja'Kobe Walter are in line for larger roles in the backcourt.
