TORONTO – Immanuel Quickley will miss his third game of the Toronto Raptors’ first-round playoff series with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Raptors start line guard missed Game 3 on Thursday as he continued to get better from a strained right hamstring.
“Like with any of those varieties of injuries, there are specific benchmarks that he must hit to be available to return back and play,” said Toronto head coach Darko Rajakovic. “Up to now, he didn’t hit those benchmarks so for now he’s staying out.”
