As expected, Quickley has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss at least one contest after spraining his left ankle in Game 3.

Knicks' Immanuel Quickley: Listed as doubtful for Game 4
Rotowire
Quickley (ankle) is doubtful for Monday's Game 4 in Miami.
Head coach Tom Thibodeau said Quickley was considered day-to-day Sunday, but it's not surprising that the backup point guard may not play in Game 4 after spraining his left ankle during New York's Game 3 loss. In his expected absence, Evan Fournier and Derrick Rose could crack the postseason rotation for the first time, but the Knicks could also dole out more minutes to Quentin Grimes and Miles McBride.

Knicks' Immanuel Quickley: Considered day-to-day
Rotowire
Head coach Tom Thibodeau said Sunday that Quickley (ankle) is day-to-day after spraining his ankle during Saturday's Game 3 loss to Miami, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Quickly posted 12 points (4-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one steal across 20 minutes before suffering the injury, and given the severity of the issue, it wouldn't be surprising to see the backup point guard sidelined for at least one contest. When asked if Evan Fournier or Derrick Rose could crack the rotation in Quickley's potential absence, Thibodeau said, "everything's on the table. We'll see how it unfolds," per Ian Begley of SportsNet New York.

Knicks' Immanuel Quickley: Diagnosed with sprained ankle
Rotowire
Quickley has been diagnosed with a sprained ankle, Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau told Nick Friedell of ESPN.com on Saturday.
Thibodeau said Quickley would be re-evaluated before the end of the day, and the team will get another report Saturday, but this is not a good sign for one of New York's primary bench weapons. He should be treated as questionable for Game 4 on Monday, and it wouldn't be shocking if he misses at least one game. Quickley finished Game 3 on Saturday with 12 points (4-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), a rebound and a steal across 20 minutes off the bench.

Knicks' Immanuel Quickley: Scores playoff career high
Rotowire
Quickley produced 19 points (5-15 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 106-95 win over Cleveland in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
Quickley scored a playoff career-high 19 points in the close-out win over the Cavaliers. After playing only 19 minutes and scoring zero points in Game 4, Quickley saw a playoff-high 29 minutes and did most of his damage in the first half with 10 points. Since the end of the regular season, Quickley's minutes have decreased from 28.9 to 23.6 in the playoffs. Perhaps Wednesday's performance can help the young guard re-establish himself as a core rotational piece for the Knicks in Round 2.
Knicks' Immanuel Quickley: Falls to second unit for Game 1
Rotowire
Quickly will appear off the bench in Saturday's Game 1 of the Eastern Conference First Round versus the Cavaliers, Joe Gabriele of the Cavaliers' official site reports.
Quickley posted some huge efforts for the Knicks down the stretch but will give way to Jalen Brunson in the starting five in Brunson's first game back from a three-tilt absence due to a hand injury. Quickley should still claim a healthy role off the bench, but he obviously won't possess the same fantasy value as he did late in the regular season.
Knicks' Immanuel Quickley: Huge performance Sunday
Rotowire
Quickley contributed 30 points (9-22 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 9-9 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Sunday's 141-136 loss to Indiana.
It's the third time in the last seven games Quickley has poured in at least 30 points, and he came within shouting distance of his third career triple-double. The third-year guard will take plenty of momentum into the postseason, as the fifth-seed Knicks take on the fourth-seed Cavaliers in the first round.

Knicks' Immanuel Quickley: Hits game-high six threes in loss
Rotowire
Quickley logged 24 points (8-17 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Friday's 113-105 loss to the Pelicans.
Quickley was locked in early, dropping 15 points in the first quarter on 5-of-6 shooting from the field, including 3-of-4 from beyond the arc. He went just 3-of-11 after the break, though all three buckets came from three-point range, where he shot 60 percent on the night. The shooting guard's six threes led the contest, while he also finished second on the Knicks in scoring with 24 points. Quickley has now scored at least 20 points in three straight and is shooting 55.2 percent from three to begin this month.
Knicks' Immanuel Quickley: Catches fire from three in win
Rotowire
Quickley recorded 39 points (14-26 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine assists, six rebounds and two steals in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 138-129 win over the Pacers.
He torched the shorthanded Pacers, who gave up 30 or more points to three different Knicks players. Quickley led the way in the scoring column, drilling a season-high seven triples in the process. The 23-year-old has been on a tear over the last six games, averaging 27.3 points and 6.3 assists while knocking down 47.7 percent of his three-point attempts. With Julius Randle (ankle) having recently bene shut down with an injury and Jalen Brunson also being in and out of the lineup of late, Quickley has been a top-25 player in nine-category leagues over the last two weeks.
