After two opening losses in Cleveland, the Toronto Raptors managed to triumph in Game 3 and get back into the series against the Cavaliers. However, the taste of victory for Darko Rajaković's team was soured by bad news regarding Immanuel Quickley's injury.

Quickley sustained a hamstring injury in the last game and, according to initial reports, will be sidelined at least until the end of the first round of the playoffs.

This is a significant blow for the Raptors, as their task in the remainder of the series against Cleveland will be considerably tougher without one of their key players.

Immanuel Quickley has averaged 16.4 points, 5.9 assists, and four rebounds this season. The Maryland-born point guard missed the end of the regular season due to a foot injury, and now faces another setback that could potentially end his season, as well as his teammates' playoff hopes.

Toronto's victory in Game 3 of the series snapped a 12-game losing streak against the Cavs, and Darko Rajaković became the first European coach to secure a win in the NBA playoffs.
