Although the couple has not publicly confirmed a romantic relationship, multiple public appearances, including a summer vacation in Mexico, have led to speculation.

Scotty Barnes contributed a double-double with 24 points and 10 rebounds, while Quickley added 15 points, six assists and five rebounds in a game in which the Raptors shot just 5-for-26 (19.2%) from three-point range, a significant drop from their season average of 37.8%, which was sixth best in the NBA.

Toronto fought back despite multiple injuries. RJ Barrett missed the game with a sprained knee, and a rookie Grady Dick exited in the first quarter after taking a hard fall while going for an offensive rebound, not returning until the end of the contest. Collin Murray-Boyles, who started in Barrett’s absence, played just eight minutes with foul trouble, leading to increased minutes for Ja’Kobe Walter, who scored 13 points in a season-high 32 minutes. The Raptors outrebounded Indiana 48-43 and outrebounded them 46-40.

For the Pacers, TJ McConnell led all scorers with 16 points, while Canadians Benedict Maturin and Andrew Nembhardt added 15 and nine points, respectively. Jerras Walker finished with 13 points and nine rebounds, narrowly missing a double-double. Despite an early double-digit lead and several lead changes in the fourth quarter, the Pacers couldn’t close out the game as Toronto’s defense held them to just five points in the final minutes.

The win was not only the Raptors’ 14th of the season, but also completed a perfect 4-0 record in the group stage of the Emirates NBA Cup, securing home court advantage for the upcoming quarterfinal matchup.

Toronto, now 14-5 overall, travels to Charlotte to face the Hornets on Saturday.
