New York Knicks guard Immanuel Quickley’s availability for the team’s upcoming pre-season finale is in doubt after he suffered a hip injury during a recent practice session. The 22-year-old rookie has been a standout performer for the Knicks during the pre-season, averaging 12.5 points and 3.5 assists per game.
Quickley’s injury is a blow to the Knicks as they look to finalize their roster ahead of the start of the regular season. Head coach Tom Thibodeau has praised Quickley’s work ethic and basketball IQ, and the young guard was expected to play a key role off the bench for the team this season.
The severity of Quickley’s hip injury is still unclear, and it remains to be seen whether he will be able to suit up for the Knicks’ final pre-season game. The team is taking a cautious approach with Quickley’s injury, as they want to ensure that he is fully healthy before he returns to action.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding Quickley’s availability, the Knicks remain optimistic about his long-term prospects with the team. Quickley has impressed coaches and teammates with his scoring ability and playmaking skills, and he is seen as a key part of the team’s future.
Fans will be eagerly awaiting updates on Quickley’s status in the coming days, as the Knicks prepare for their regular season opener against the Indiana Pacers on December 23rd. In the meantime, the team will continue to monitor Quickley’s progress and provide updates on his condition as they become available.
