Raptors' Quickley not practising after injury in season opener
Published
Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley did not participate in practice Thursday after leaving Wednesday's season-opening loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers with a right pelvic contusion, TSN's Josh Lewenberg reports.
Lewenberg adds that Quickley will be questionable Friday when the Raptors host the Philadelphia 76ers.
Quickly suffered the injury late in the first half when he came down hard on his back after being undercut by Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland, who was going for a rebound.
Canadian big man Kelly Olynyk, who was held out of the 136-106 defeat, also did not practice Thursday. Head coach Darko Rajakovic said after practice, he doesn't think Olynyk's back injury will be a long-term issue, but he still needs time and treatment before he's able to return.
Fellow Canadian RJ Barrett took part to some degree in practice as he works his way back from a shoulder injury suffered during the preseason and will also be questionable to suit up against Philadelphia.
Watch Sixers vs. Raptors Friday at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on TSN4, TSN.ca and the TSN App.
