A Series of Ankle Injuries
The ongoing Eastern Conference semifinal matchup between the Miami Heat and New York Knicks has been marred by a series of ankle injuries. The latest concern is Knicks' guard Immanuel Quickley.
His injury adds to the previous ankle sprains of Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson of the Knicks, as well as the Heat's Jimmy Butler.
Immanuel Quickley is a 23-year-old guard who has spent all three years of his NBA career with the Knicks.
He had a solid regular season, averaging 14.9 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.2 blocks, and 1.2 turnovers per game in 81 appearances, with 21 starts.
Quickley also improved his shooting accuracy from previous seasons, as he made 44.8% of his shots from the field in the 2022-23 campaign.
During the fourth quarter of the game, Heat center Bam Adebayo collided with Quickley's left leg, causing him to sustain an injury. Quickley remained on the court for a period before heading back to the locker room.
The Knicks ended up losing the game 105-86, falling behind 2-1 in the series.
The series has become a saga of sorts, with injuries impacting key players on both teams. As the series progresses, it remains to be seen how these injuries will affect the outcome of the games and the series as a whole.
