TORONTO — Immanuel Quickley has suffered through a challenging second season with the Toronto Raptors.
The injury-plagued point guard was healthy enough to play for only the 10th time this season, but his return coincided with the Raptors' season-high five-game winning streak being halted with a 122-106 loss to the Chicago Bulls on Friday.
"Groin is kind of tough because not really a lot you can do, as far as just instant healing, or whatever you want to call it," the 25-year-old Quickley said. Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic relayed that the plan for his point guard was to build up his minutes, even though Quickley returned with a hot start.
"Playing with great players, like, it’s not hard to fit in with the guys," Quickley said."You know, the standard that they’ve been setting while I was out defensively, picking up the effort that everybody’s been playing with, you've just got to match that. Scottie Barnes led the way for Toronto with 20 points, 10 rebounds and five assists, while RJ Barrett checked in with 19 points and nine rebounds.
