Immanuel Quickley says he's not worried about contract extension
Without a contract extension signed and the deadline less than two weeks away, the Knicks’ Immanuel Quickley said he’ll continue practicing and playing at full tilt while unconcerned over a potential injury. “That’s where my faith comes in,” the backup guard said. “Really all up to God. I’m not going to lie, I’ve been fortunate to not even be worrying about it. It goes days, sometimes weeks, where I just forget about all that stuff. Unless somebody reminds me. So just coming in everyday and trying to get better is my main focus.”

More on this storyline
ESPN cap guru Bobby Marks, a former Nets executive, estimated Quickley’s value at four years, $85 million. That’s the same deal signed by Atlanta’s DeAndre Hunter a year ago. -via New York Post / October 14, 2023
The Knicks’ guard spent another offseason with Reese Whitely, the Miami-based trainer who established three goals for Quickley’s body: avoid injuries, add weight, increase power. “He came in this summer and wanted to make sure he was injury-proof, in essence, so we worked on a lot of correctives at the beginning of the summer,” Whitely told The Post. “From there, we transitioned to a lot of strength movements. He wanted to put on some size, wanted to gain about 10 pounds, and he achieved that. “He wanted to be stronger so he can take contact, finish at the rim a lot better. Be able to get off defenders or defend even better.” -via New York Post / October 9, 2023
The guard trained five days per week over about four months, providing himself an elevated physical baseline after finishing runner-up for Sixth Man of the Year. “I feel like I got a lot stronger, locking in with my guy Reese back in Miami, we pretty much went like five days a week, taking care of my body, lifting, eating right, stronger and just pretty much every facet,” Quickley said. -via New York Post / October 9, 2023
