Another Raptors Starter Pops up on Injury Report vs Nuggets
The Toronto Raptors continue to battle the injury bug.
Immanuel Quickley is the latest to show up on the injury report as questionable with a left hip flexor strain, the team announced. Quickley hadn't been listed on Toronto's initial injury report earlier Monday and likely injured himself during team activities Monday.
Toronto should however have RJ Barrett healthy and ready to go against the Denver Nuggets. He's been listed as probable to play with an illness.
The Raptors continue to be without Scottie Barnes, Jakob Poeltl, DJ Carton, and Mouhamadou Gueye. There remains no timetable for Barnes or Poeltl who continue to work their way back from hand surgery.
Chris Boucher and Bruce Brown both remain questionable to play. Boucher is battling a right knee contusion and has popped up on the injury report for the first time. Bruce Brown Jr., meanwhile, is on the mend with right knee inflammation.
If Quickley can't go, Toronto may be forced to turn to Javon Freeman-Liberty as the team's backup point guard. He could be the only active player with anything resembling traditional point guard experience on the roster.
Expect Jahmi'us Ramsey to see playing time as well off the bench, especially if Toronto's questionable players are ruled out. He has a few days left on his 10-day contract and will be competing for a long-term deal with the organization.
Vlatko Cancar is the only injured player for the Nuggets.
The Raptors are now +15 point underdogs with an implied win probability of just 11%. The total for the game is 231.5.
