TORONTO — The Toronto Raptors won't get starting point guard Immanuel Quickley back for Game 3 against the Cavaliers in the NBA playoffs.

Quickley (right hamstring strain) has been ruled out for Game 3 after sitting out the first two games of the best-of-seven first-round series, Raptors coach Darko Rajaković said during pregame media availability. Quickley had been listed as questionable to play in Game 3.

The Cavs won Game 1 and Game 2 in Cleveland to take a 2-0 series lead before heading to Canada. Game 3 is scheduled to tip off at 8 p.m. Thursday, April 23, at Scotiabank Arena.
