Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Still not ready for full contact
Rotowire
Quickley (elbow) has begun incorporating his left arm into recent workouts, but he's still not ready for full-contact drills, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.
While Quickley's progress has been encouraging, he's expected to need a couple more weeks of recovery before trying to regain his conditioning for game action. He's been limited to individual drills since being diagnosed with a partial UCL tear in his left elbow in mid-November. Quickley has made only three appearances in his first full season in Toronto, missing eight straight games with a right pelvic contusion before suffering the elbow injury.

Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Will get more imaging on elbow
Rotowire
Head coach Darko Rajakovic said Monday that Quickley is scheduled to get follow-up imaging on his left elbow next week, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Quickley was diagnosed with a partial UCL tear in his left elbow in mid-November, and he has missed the Raptors' last 13 games as a result. There's no surgery planned to repair the damage, and it appears rest and rehab continues to be the plan for the 25-year-old guard out of Kentucky. Jamal Shead and Davion Mitchell should proceed to benefit from Quickley's absence in terms of playing time.

Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Return likely weeks away
Rotowire
Quickley (elbow) isn't expected to be ready to return to game action until mid-December at the earliest, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Quickley was diagnosed Nov. 12 with a partial UCL tear in his left elbow, and though he was scheduled to be re-evaluated this week, Lewenberg noted at the time of the diagnosis that the point guard would likely miss around a month. Nothing appears to have changed with Quickley's timeline since he suffered the injury, and so long as he's able to avoid surgery on the elbow, he should remain on track to resume playing by the second half of December. Quickley has been limited to just three appearances in his first full season with Toronto, as he also missed eight games with a right pelvic contusion before suffering the elbow injury.

Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Will miss at least one week
Rotowire
Quickley was diagnosed with a partial tear to the ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow Tuesday and will be re-evaluated in one week, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Quickley sustained a pelvic contusion during the season opener and missed eight straight games. He scored 21 points in his return against the Clippers on Nov. 9, but after only two appearances, he's now hitting the shelf again for at least a week. The only bright side is that the injury isn't to Quickley's shooting arm, which presumably means a quicker recovery time. Regardless, Davion Mitchell is set to move back into the starting lineup, while backup wings Jamal Shead, Jamison Battle and Ja'Kobe Walter (shoulder) will be candidates for increased roles in Quickley's absence.

Quickley (pelvis) notched 21 points (8-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, three rebounds and one steal across 26 minutes during Saturday's 105-103 loss to the Clippers.
Quickley played and started for the first time since the season opener after missing eight games due to a right pelvic contusion.

Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Practices, optimism for Saturday
Rotowire
Coach Darko Rajakovic said Quickley (pelvis) practiced Friday, and the team is optimistic the point guard will play Saturday versus the Clippers, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports. Quickley is officially listed as questionable.
Quickley has missed eight straight games since suffering a right pelvic contusion during the Raptors' season-opening loss to the Cavaliers. Saturday's game is the first half of a back-to-back set, so it may be a stretch to expect Quickley to play in both games. However, even if he remains sidelined through the weekend, it appears, barring a setback, Quickley's return to game action is imminent.

Raptors' Immanuel Quickley: Downgraded to out
Rotowire
Quickley (pelvis) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.
As expected, Quickley will miss a fourth straight game due to a pelvis injury he sustained during Toronto's regular-season opener. The Raptors announced Wednesday that Scottie Barnes is expected to miss at least three weeks after being diagnosed with an orbital fracture, so they'll need Quickely back in action as quickly as possible, with his next chance coming Friday against the Lakers. In Quickley's absence, Davion Mitchell should start at point guard again, but RJ Barrett will presumably run the offense.
