Immanuel Quickley has been ruled out for Friday's preseason game at the Pistons, listed day-to-day with a rest issue on the injury report. The Raptors will lean on their backcourt and frontcourt depth in Detroit as Toronto works through its preseason rotation.
What happened
The injury report listed Immanuel Quickley as day-to-day Friday at 5:59 p.m. ET, with the issue logged as rest. Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports Quickley has been ruled out for Friday's preseason game against the Pistons. No previous status is listed for this entry. Quickley was day-to-day earlier this preseason with a right hamstring issue on Sep. 6 and was cleared from that designation on Sep. 12. His expected return for the current issue is listed as Oct. 21.
What it means for the Raptors
Toronto is in Detroit for Friday's preseason game at 7:00 p.m. ET, with the Raptors sitting 0-0 since the 2026-27 season has not started. Last season Quickley averaged 16.4 points, 5.9 assists and 4.0 rebounds in 31.9 minutes across 70 games. In games without him, rotation minutes have gone to Brandon Ingram (33.8 minutes, 21.5 points) and Scottie Barnes (33.5 minutes, 18.1 points), with RJ Barrett (30.3 minutes, 19.3 points) and Jakob Poeltl (25.0 minutes, 10.7 points) also featured. Friday's report also lists Poeltl, Barrett, Kawhi Leonard and Barnes as day-to-day with rest, so Toronto could turn further to Jamal Shead, Sandro Mamukelashvili, Collin Murray-Boyles and Ja'Kobe Walter.
What to watch
The next injury report will show whether Quickley's rest day is a one-game matter or extends into Toronto's following preseason outing. His expected return is listed as Oct. 21. Several other Raptors rotation pieces, including Poeltl, Barrett, Leonard and Barnes, are also marked day-to-day for rest on the same report, a pattern worth tracking as Toronto finishes preseason and sets its rotation for the 2026-27 opener.
