Neemias Queta Posts 10 Points, 15 Rebounds vs. Kings as Mazzulla Lauds His Growth

Reporting suggests Boston will target depth at center rather than an upgrade.

Overview

  • Queta helped power Boston’s 112-93 win over Sacramento with 10 points, 15 rebounds, three blocks and a steal in 29 minutes against his former team.
  • Head coach Joe Mazzulla called Queta “a great player” and said he has grown into “a very important player” for the Celtics.
  • In his first season starting, Queta is averaging roughly 10.0 points, 8.1 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in about 25 minutes per game.
  • Recent reporting indicates a failed push for Clippers center Ivica Zubac and points to the Celtics focusing on a backup big, with interest linked to Pelicans rookie Yves Missi.
  • Queta said being waived by the Kings in 2023 “changed everything” for his career and that he is glad Boston gave him the opportunity.
