The Raptors are reportedly gauging the trade value<\/a> of Immanuel Quickley<\/a>, and he likely increased it with a spectacular performance in Tuesday\u2019s win at Golden State, writes Michael Grange of SportsNet<\/a>. Quickley tied his career high with 40 points \u2014 shooting 11-of-13 from the field and 7-of-8 from three-point range \u2014 and added 10 assists while sparking an offense that had looked lethargic lately to 145 points.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, I felt a little bit better,\u201d said Quickley, who missed two games last week due to back spasms. \u201cBut it was just the mindset. I told a couple of the guys, just have the mindset to come out and be aggressive. The game is more like 70 or 80 percent mental than it is (physical). Just have the mindset to go out and aggressively dominate.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Quickley has been mostly healthy this year after being limited to 33 games last season. He could be a reliable source of offense for teams needing help at point guard, but a contract that pays him $97.5MM over the next three years may limit his perceived value on the trade market.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s more on the Raptors:<\/p>\n

RJ Barrett<\/a>\u2018s sprained ankle is forcing him to miss his seventh straight game tonight in Sacramento, but there\u2019s hope he can be available Friday at Portland or Sunday at Oklahoma City, Grange states in the same piece. Barrett is eager to return to the court after playing just six times over the past two months due to the ankle and a knee injury. \u201cYeah, it\u2019s annoying, us losing some games and seeing, \u2018man, I could have helped us here\u2019, you know,\u201d Barrett said before Tuesday\u2019s game. \u201cSo, I\u2019m just trying to be patient, to make sure that I can come back and be myself and really help us.\u201d
\nThe Raptors haven\u2019t issued an official prognosis for rookie big man Collin Murray-Boyles<\/a>, who left Sunday\u2019s game after getting chopped on his already-hurting left thumb, Grange adds. X-rays were negative, and the team said Tuesday that he\u2019s \u201cundergoing further evaluation.\u201d Injuries to teammates have forced Murray-Boyles to start nine games at center, and Grange points out that he\u2019s been successful in that role, averaging 10.6 points and 7.8 rebounds while playing high-level interior defense.
\nCenter Jakob Poeltl<\/a> continues to suffer from a lower back strain and has returned to Toronto to visit a back specialist on Thursday, Grange tweets<\/a>. Poeltl has only been available for 21 games this season and has made just one brief appearance since December 15.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By Arthur Hill | at January 21, 2026 9:49 pm The Raptors are reportedly gauging the trade value…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":213644,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3724],"tags":[7,964,3715,1399,1041],"class_list":{"0":"post-552463","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-basketball","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-collin-murray-boyles","10":"tag-immanuel-quickley","11":"tag-jakob-poeltl","12":"tag-rj-barrett"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/115936938600713813","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/552463","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=552463"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/552463\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/213644"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=552463"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=552463"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=552463"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
