Immanuel Quickley signed a long-term contract to extend his stay with the Toronto Raptors after coming over in a trade from the New York Knicks last season.
The Raptors’ online sports betting odds to win a championship are just +50000 heading into next season, but this move should help them build their foundation for the future.
Let’s take a look at the details of Quickley’s contract extension.

The Kentucky product came over from the Knicks alongside RJ Barrett in a deal that sent longtime Raptors forward OG Anunoby to the Big Apple.
The Havre de Grace, Maryland native thrived in The 6 after playing just 24 minutes per night off the bench for the Knicks, averaging 18.6 points, 6.8 assists, and 4.8 rebounds per game in 38 games with the Raptors while playing nearly 10 more minutes per game.
The 6-foot-3 guard possesses a deadly floater and lightning-quick speed, hence his last name, but he’s also shifty and unafraid to attack the rim, as he shot nearly 63% from the field within five feet of the rim in all of his games with the Raptors, speaking to his creative finishing abilities.
Quickley is also a deadly 3-point shooter, especially on the pullup, catch-and-shoot, and in transition.
The 25th overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft should continue to mesh well with Scottie Barnes and Barrett, as their playmaking skills should continue to find Quickley in his spots, whether it’s from behind the arc or off cuts to the rim.
The 25-year-old is clearly minted as the Raptors point guard of the future, a position that they desperately needed to fill after the departures of franchise icons Kyle Lowry and Fred VanVleet.
Toronto’s future championship basketball odds heavily depend on the further development of Quickley, Barnes, Barrett, and Ja’Kobe Walter, the 19th pick of the 2024 NBA Draft.
Is Immanuel Quickley a Good Defender?
Quickley got a tremendous endorsement from Jrue Holiday about his defence.
“I think it’s really good,” Holiday said. “Especially picking up full court, trying to be aggressive, trying to be a hound, and just nag people. It’s really great. Obviously, I know sometimes people see him as smaller, but I think with athleticism that they have over there it really helps them out.”
If you’re a Raptors fan, I wouldn’t take this with a grain of salt, as Holiday is arguably the best on-ball and perimeter defender at the guard position in the NBA today.
To Holiday’s point, Quickley may be small, but his 6-foot-8 wingspan, basketball IQ, and other intangibles, such as his scrappiness and quickness in rotation, should help him be a plus on that side of the ball.
Has Immanuel Quickley Ever Had a Triple-Double?
Quickley has had two triple-doubles in his career, both as a member of the Knicks.
His first came on April 3, 2022, when he put up 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists in a 118-98 win over the Orlando Magic.
His second came exactly a week later, posting 34 points, 12 assists, and 10 rebounds in a 105-94 win over the Raptors.
