Immanuel Quickley is a professional basketball player who currently plays for the Toronto Raptors. He plays the point guard and shooting guard positions and is known for his crafty offensive game.
Quickley was drafted in the 2020 NBA Draft by the Oklahoma City Thunder with the 25th overall pick. He was then traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves on draft night, who in turn traded him to the New York Knicks in exchange for Leandro Bolmaro. After a couple of seasons and a half as a Knick, Quickley was traded to the Toronto Raptors in January 2024.
During his rookie season in the 2020/21 season, he averaged 11.4 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game while shooting 38.9% from three-point range. He was named to the NBA All-Rookie Second Team that year. In the 2021-2022 season, Quickley continued to be an integral part of New York’s rotation. He posted averages of 11.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game while providing a much-needed scoring spark off the bench.
The 2022/23 NBA season cemented Quickley’s status as one of the premier bench scorers in the league. He averaged career highs in points (14.9), rebounds (4.2), and steals (1.0) per game. His three-point shooting dipped slightly to 37.0% as compared to his debut season (38.9%) but he remained a consistent scoring threat game in and game out. Quickley’s efforts were recognized as he finished second in the Sixth Man of the Year voting behind only Jordan Poole.
Heading into next season, Quickley figures to reprise his role as the Knicks’ microwave scorer off the bench. As he enters his fourth NBA season, his career arc mirrors the upward trajectory of the franchise he plays for. At just 24 years old, Quickley’s best basketball likely lies ahead of him. For now, Quickley serves as a quick bucket-getting sixth man for the Toronto Raptors, but he has shown flashes of potential to handle more playmaking responsibility in the future.
