Tom Thibodeau on Immanuel Quickley: “He’s played great basketball”

Because of injuries to RJ Barrett and Jalen Brunson, the New York Knicks guard Immanuel Quickley has started the last seven games, a stretch in which he averaged 20.3 points, 5.9 assists, and 5.3 rebounds.

“He’s played great basketball throughout this stretch,” Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said. “I like him with both units. I think he complements Jalen and Julius and RJ really well. But also, I like the way that group functioned with our second unit when we had RJ in there with Deuce [Miles McBride] and Quick, because of the versatility of all those three guys together. It gives you a lot off the dribble. They’ve played really at a high level.”
