Immanuel Quickley Questionable for Preseason Finale

Immanuel Quickley, the starting point guard for the Toronto Raptors, is listed as questionable for the team's final pre-season game against the Brooklyn Nets due to a left thumb injury he sustained prior to training camp. Although he has participated fully in practice without restrictions, Raptors coach Darko Rajaković emphasized the importance of being cautious with Quickley's return to competitive play. Quickley has been experimenting with different braces for his thumb as he works to regain game shape. Regardless of whether he plays on Friday, he is expected to be ready for the season opener against the Cleveland Cavaliers on October 23. The Raptors are also anticipating the return of rookie Jamal Shead, who had been sidelined with a hamstring injury. Other notable players, including RJ Barrett and Ja’Kobe Walter, did not participate in Thursday's practice.
