Immanuel Quickley has been cleared after being listed day-to-day, the Raptors' injury report showed Saturday. He is set to be available when Toronto opens its schedule against the Bulls.
What happened
The Raptors' injury report listed Immanuel Quickley as cleared on Saturday, Oct. 17 at 12:18 p.m. ET, lifting the day-to-day tag he carried into the weekend. He had been day-to-day as of Friday, Oct. 16, under a rest/other designation, with no further detail given. It is the second time this cycle Quickley has moved off the day-to-day list: he was also cleared from day-to-day on Sept. 12, after an earlier stretch as day-to-day with a right hamstring issue dating to Sept. 6. No report comment was included with Saturday's update.
What it means for the Raptors
Toronto opens its season at home against the Bulls on Wednesday, Oct. 21 at 7:30 p.m. ET, with the Raptors sitting at 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, a lead guard role at the top of Toronto's rotation. In games he has missed, the Raptors have leaned on Brandon Ingram (33.8 minutes, 21.5 points), Scottie Barnes (33.5 minutes, 18.1 points) and RJ Barrett (30.3 minutes, 19.3 points), with Jakob Poeltl and Jamal Shead also seeing extended run.
What to watch
With Quickley off the day-to-day list, the next injury report update will show whether he carries any designation into the Oct. 21 opener against the Bulls. No expected return timeline has been announced, since he is now listed as cleared rather than out. Toronto's report also lists RJ Barrett and Jakob Poeltl as day-to-day with rest/other designations, and Chucky Hepburn as day-to-day with a left hamstring issue, all worth tracking into opening week.
