"Losing Quickley is a big blow for a Raptors team trying to battle through a crueling playoff race with little separation between the six teams vying for the final four playoff spots."
"As a team, the Raptors rank 22nd in 3-point percentage with 34.9%. Losing Quickley and replacing him with Jamal Shead, who has struggled from three for most of the season, just amplifies that issue."
"Shead doesn't have the same gravity as Quickley on offense. For the season, he is converting 31.4% of his 3.3 attempts per game, leading opponents to leave him open behind the arc."
Immanuel Quickley will miss another game due to right foot plantar fasciitis, which is detrimental for the Raptors in a tight playoff race. Quickley leads the team in assists and is a key 3-point shooter, with a 37.4% shooting percentage. His absence exacerbates the Raptors' existing spacing issues, as replacements like Jamal Shead struggle with 3-point shooting. The team ranks 22nd in 3-point percentage, and Quickley's presence is crucial for creating offensive opportunities for teammates like Barnes, Ingram, and Barrett.
