Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley was ruled out for Monday’s Game 2 against the Cleveland Cavaliers, coach Darko Rajaković said.
Quickley, who strained his right hamstring during Toronto’s regular-season finale, has missed the first two games of the Raptors’ Eastern Conference first-round playoff series.
Rajaković said Quickley went through a workout during shootaround Monday morning and has been improving.
Quickley averaged 16.4 points, 5.9 assists and 4.0 rebounds in 70 games during the regular season. He sustained a mild hamstring strain in the finale against Brooklyn.
He missed eight games from March 23 to April 5 because of plantar fasciitis in his right foot
Quickley also went through a workout during Toronto’s practice Sunday. He will have a few days to recover before the series shifts to Toronto for Game 3 on Thursday.
The Raptors trail the Cavs 1-0 in the best-of-seven series.
