Immanuel Quickley made a significant impact in his return to the Toronto Raptors, contributing 21 points and 15 assists in a 130-113 victory over the Brooklyn Nets. This win ended an 11-game losing streak for Toronto, who improved to 8-26 this season. Quickley had been sidelined for 22 games due to a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow.
Scottie Barnes also shined for the Raptors, posting a game-high 33 points along with 13 rebounds, while Gradey Dick added 22 points. In contrast, Cam Johnson led the Nets with 24 points, and Nic Claxton notched a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds. D’Angelo Russell contributed 22 points and eight assists off the bench.
The game was not without its challenges for Brooklyn, as they lost Noah Clowney and Maxwell Lewis to injuries during the contest. Quickley’s return was particularly noteworthy after he initially injured himself in the Raptors' home opener back in October.
