Immanuel Quickley is listed as doubtful for Game 4.

UPDATE: Immanuel Quickley has been ruled out.    

On Monday evening, the New York Knicks will be in Florida to face off against the Miami Heat for Game 4 of their second-round playoff series.  

For the game, the Knicks will likely be without one of their best role players, as Immanuel Quickley is listed as doubtful on the injury report.     

Via Underdog NBA: "Immanuel Quickley (ankle) doubtful for Monday."

The former Kentucky star got injured during Game 3 on Saturday afternoon. 

During the regular season, Quickley averaged 14.9 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.0 steals per contest while shooting 44.8% from the field and 37.0% from the three-point range in 81 games.  

The Knicks trail the Heat 2-1 in the series, so they will need a victory to avoid falling into a 3-1 hole.

While they got blown out in Game 3 by a score of 106-85, the Knicks are a good road team with a 26-19 record in 45 games away from Madison Square Garden in New York City. 

In the first round, they beat the Cleveland Cavaliers in five games, which was their first time winning a playoff series since the 2013 season. 

As for the Heat, they are one of the best home teams in the league, with a 30-14 record in 44 games hosted in Miami, Florida (3-0 during the playoffs). 

They beat the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round in five games. 

The winner of the series will advance to the Eastern Conference Finals to face off against either the Boston Celtics or the Philadelphia 76ers.
