Raptors’ Immanuel Quickley aggravates injury, to miss Cavs series

TORONTO — Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley aggravated his strained right hamstring while working his way back from the injury and will not be available during Toronto’s first-round playoff series against Cleveland, the team said Friday.

Quickley averaged 16.4 points, a career-high 5.9 assists and 4.0 rebounds in 70 games in the regular season. He scored at least 20 points in 20 games and recorded eight double-doubles.

After missing several late-season games because of plantar fasciitis in his right foot, Quickley injured his hamstring in Toronto’s regular-season finale against Brooklyn.

Jamal Shead has started in Quickley’s place against the Cavaliers.

Toronto beat Cleveland 126-104 on Thursday, snapping a 12-game playoff losing streak against the Cavaliers and cutting the series deficit to 2-1.

Game 4 is Sunday afternoon in Toronto.
