Raptors' Quickly leaves season opener with right pelvic contusion
Published
The Toronto Raptors' injury troubles continued during Wednesday's season opener as guard Immanuel Quickley left the game with a right pelvic contusion.
Quickly suffered the injury late in the first half when he came down hard on his back after getting undercut by Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland, who was going for a rebound.
Quickly did not return to the court for the start of the third quarter.
Toronto would go on to lose the game 136-106 for their worst home opener loss in franchise history.
The Raptors were already without RJ Barrett, Kelly Olynyk, Ja’Kobe Walter and Bruce Brown for Wednesday's home opener at Scotiabank Arena.
The 25-year-old Quickly signed a five-year, $162.5 million contract extension this summer after averaging 18.6 points, 6.8 assists and 4.8 rebounds over 38 games with the Raptors last season. Quickly, alongside Barrett, was acquired from the New York Knicks a few days after Christmas.
