The Toronto Raptors can't seem to catch a break.
Point guard Immanuel Quickley is set to miss at least a week after suffering a partial tear to the UCL in his left elbow, the team announced Tuesday.
The Raptors said that Quickley will be reevaluated in a week and his condition will be updated as appropriate.
Quickley sustained the injury in the team's 123-103 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday night.
The six-foot-two guard previously missed eight games with a pelvic contusion suffered in the first game of the season before returning for the Raptors' weekend back-to-back in Los Angeles.
He was also sidelined throughout the pre-season with a thumb sprain.
He has only suited up for three games for Toronto this season and is averaging 15.3 points, 2.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 0.7 steals in 22.7 minutes per contest, but left two of those games early due to injury.
Quickley was traded by the New York Knicks to Toronto on Dec. 30 along with swingman RJ Barrett of Mississauga, Ont.
He re-signed on a five-year, $175 million contract to remain with the Raptors on July 8.
The Raptors (2-9) are set to take on the Milwaukee Bucks (2-8), who'll be without Damian Lillard, in their opening game of the NBA Cup on Tuesday night.
