The Toronto Raptors will be without one of their stars for a second playoff game in a row.
Quickley suffered the hamstring injury in the Raptors’ regular-season finale. He played 16 minutes in the first half, putting up four points, two rebounds and five assists.
The 26-year-old averaged 16.4 points, a career-high 5.9 assists, four rebounds and 31.9 minutes over 70 games this season.
Quickley’s standout skill is his three-point shooting, and after struggling over the first half of the season at 34.7 per cent from deep, he shot 41.5 per cent over the second half to bring his season mark to 37.4 per cent.
The Havre de Grace, Md., native battled plantar fasciitis through the final portion of the season, missing eight consecutive games from late March through early April, and was frequently seen in a walking boot.
Game 2 goes Monday at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT in Cleveland.
