Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Minimal output in return
Rotowire
Quickley (foot) closed with three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and two steals in 18 minutes during Tuesday's 121-95 win over the Heat.
Tuesday's game was Quickley's first appearance since March 22, with the sixth-year guard returning from an eight-game absence due to right foot plantar fasciitis. He ended up seeing less playing time than Jamal Shead (24 minutes), but that may have been more due to the Raptors' dominant lead through three quarters, resulting in the starters resting for the fourth frame. Quickley may have his minutes limited over the final few games of the regular season as the Raptors gear up for a postseason run.

Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Sinks game-winning three Wednesday
Rotowire
Quickley posted 21 points (8-18 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 33 minutes during the Raptors' 97-96 win over the Hornets on Wednesday.
Quickley and RJ Barrett helped rally the Raptors in the fourth quarter with 24 points combined in the frame, with the former sinking the buzzer-beating three-pointer to give Toronto a second straight win. Quickley finished as the Raptors' second-leading scorer behind Barrett (28 points), and the duo stepped up in a big way after Brandon Ingram left in the first half due to a sprained right thumb. Scottie Barnes also briefly left in the fourth due to a right knee injury before returning, so his status and Ingram's will be worth monitoring ahead of Friday's game against the Celtics.
