Neemias Queta Injury News & Updates

Queta supplied 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal in 34 minutes during Sunday's 121-113 victory over the Raptors.

Queta delivered an efficient outing from the field Sunday, scoring in double figures for a third consecutive contest. The big man also grabbed a game-high-tying 11 rebounds en route to his fifth double-double on the campaign. The 26-year-old has recorded two double-doubles in his last five outings, during which he has averaged 11.2 points, 9.0 rebounds 1.6 assists and 1.6 blocks in 26.2 minutes per contest.

Queta finished Thursday's 146-101 win over the Wizards with 17 points (7-9 FG, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one steal over 21 minutes.

Queta and the rest of the Celtics' starters didn't play much in the fourth quarter thanks to their comfortable lead. However, the fifth-year center still managed to make an impact on both ends of the floor, and he finished Thursday's game tying a season-high in blocks. Queta has scored at least 13 points in five of his last eight outings, and over that span he has averaged 12.4 points on 71.4 percent shooting, 8.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 blocks over 22.8 minutes per game.

Queta (ankle) has been cleared to play Tuesday against the Knicks, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

Queta missed two of Boston's last three games due to his ankle injury, the most recent likely attributed to rest as the second leg of a back-to-back, but is officially good to go Tuesday. Xavier Tillman will be relegated back to the bench after his spot start as a result.

Queta (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's game against Knicks, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Queta sat out Sunday's game against the Cavaliers for ankle injury management, but he's primed to return Tuesday. His presence should push Xavier Tillman to the bench in all likelihood. Queta has been a bright spot down low for the Celtics, having averaged 9.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.4 blocks in 23.9 minutes per tilt in 18 games this season.

Queta (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Queta was cleared to play in Saturday's loss to Minnesota but will miss the second leg of the team's back-to-back set due to left ankle sprain injury management. His next opportunity to suit up will come Tuesday against the Knicks. With the big man sidelined, Luka Garza, Chris Boucher and Amari Williams are candidates for increased roles.

Queta finished Saturday's 119-115 loss to the Timberwolves with 19 points (7-8 FG, 5-8 FT), 18 rebounds and two blocks in 29 minutes.

Queta was upgraded to available shortly before the start of the game, and the big man delivered an impressive performance. He matched his previous career-best scoring mark while also setting a new career-high output in rebounds. This was Queta's fourth double-double of the season.

Queta (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Queta has been officially cleared to return from a one-game absence due to an ankle injury, and his return means Luka Garza will likely revert to a bench role. Queta is averaging 9.3 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.4 blocks over 23.6 minutes per game.

Queta (ankle) has been upgraded to probable for Saturday's game against Minnesota, Marc D'Amico of the Celtics' official site reports.

Queta has been given the green light to return from a one-game absence due to a sprained left ankle, which means Luka Garza will likely revert to the bench for Saturday's contest. Across the five games prior to his injury, Queta averaged 11.0 points on 64.3 percent shooting along with 7.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.2 blocks over 22.2 minutes per game.

Queta (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game in Minnesota, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Queta sat out Wednesday's win over Detroit with the ankle injury, which resulted in Luka Garza receiving a spot-start, and he finished with one point and one rebound over 11 minutes. Saturday's game will be the first of a back-to-back, so Queta feels a bit closer to doubtful than questionable.

Queta (ankle) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Wednesday is set to be the first absence of the year for Queta, who suffered a sprained left ankle in Sunday's win over the Magic. The big man can be considered day-to-day prior to Saturday's clash against the Timberwolves. With Queta out of action, it looks like Chris Boucher and Luka Garza are in line to split the center minutes.

Queta (ankle) didn't return to Sunday's 138-129 win over Orlando, finishing with six points (3-3 FG) and two rebounds in six minutes.

Queta sprained his left ankle in the first quarter and was deemed questionable to return, though he never checked back in. If the big man is unable to play in Wednesday's game against Detroit, Chris Boucher and Luka Garza are candidates for increased minutes.

Queta (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Magic, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Queta sprained his left ankle in the first quarter and is in jeopardy of missing the remainder of the game. If the big man is unable to return, Luka Garza and Chris Boucher will likely see increased minutes the rest of the way.

Queta went back to the locker room during Sunday's game against the Magic due to an apparent ankle injury, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Queta appeared to injure his left ankle before limping to the locker room during the first quarter of Sunday's contest. If he is unable to return, Chris Boucher and Luka Garza figure to see extra minutes.

Queta amassed 16 points (8-12 FG), 12 rebounds, three assists and one block across 29 minutes during Friday's 113-105 loss to the Nets.

This was Queta's third double-double of the season and the fifth of his career. He's been playing well for Boston this season, leading the team in field goal percentage (61.8), boards (8.3) and blocks (1.4), which has him humming along with top-90 value on the season.

Queta finished with 14 points (7-16 FG, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Sunday's 121-118 victory over the Clippers.

Queta has been great on the glass for Boston so far, posting at least eight boards in all but one of his last seven games. The Portuguese big man averages 9.3 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.4 blocks across 24.5 minutes, and is in no imminent danger of losing his place in the starting lineup.

Queta ended with eight points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 102-100 loss to the 76ers.

Queta continues to have great rebounding performances, as he logged his fourth contest of the season with at least 10 boards. He also blocked two shots Tuesday, and is averaging 8.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.4 blocks per game.

Queta finished with 15 points (7-7 FG, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 136-107 win over the Wizards.

Queta delivered another strong performance, recording his second double-double of the season. Although his production has been a little inconsistent, Queta's role as the starting center appears guaranteed at this point. Over the first nine games of the season, he is averaging 9.1 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.2 combined steals and blocks in 22.9 minutes per game.

Queta registered nine points (4-4 FG, 1-3 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and two steals over 26 minutes during Monday's 105-103 loss to the Jazz.

Queta has been a rebounding force for the Celtics, averaging 7.6 boards to start the season. He is also putting the ball in the basket at an efficient rate, scoring 8.4 points per game on 66.7 percent from the field, but is struggling from the free-throw line, averaging only 64.7 percent. Queta should continue to see big minutes as the team's starting center for the forseeable future.

Queta closed Wednesday's 125-105 win over Cleveland with 10 points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and three steals across 26 minutes.

Queta has been a steady source of rebounds, averaging nine to start the season (and has logged at least 10 in consecutive contests). He also has been a source of defensive production, averaging 1.6 blocks and 1.0 steals so far. Look for Queta to continue producing a similar statline Thursday against the 76ers.

Queta had six points (3-8 FG), 11 rebounds and four blocks over 22 minutes during Monday's 122-90 victory over the Pelicans.

Queta recorded season-highs in boards and swats in this one, and he created numerous second-chance opportunities for Boston, with seven of his 11 rebounds coming on the offensive end. Queta has been heating up over the past two games, with his rebounding and defensive numbers, so it'll be interesting to see if he can keep it going Wednesday with a tough matchup against the Cavs.

Queta ended with four points (2-4 FG), six rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals over 26 minutes during Sunday's 119-113 loss to the Pistons.

The 26-year-old center has started all three of Boston's games this season, and seems to be slowly earning the trust of Coach Joe Mazzulla. Or maybe Mazzulla just doesn't have any other strong options to choose from? While Queta has been piling up defensive stats, he's also the leading big of a Boston squad that has been outrebounded 148 to 115 over the first three games. Next up,

Queta logged 17 points (7-8 FG, 3-4 FT) and eight rebounds over 25 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 117-116 loss to the 76ers.

Queta got the starting nod Wednesday, falling two rebounds short of a double-double, despite fouling out late in the fourth quarter. Despite some conjecture as to who would be the starting center, Queta made the most of his opportunity. Luka Garza suffered a concussion early in the game, meaning he will likely miss time moving forward. This should ensure Queta holds onto the starting spot, making him a viable 12-team fantasy asset.

Queta produced eight points (4-7 FG), 12 rebounds, two assists, one steal and four blocks in 21 minutes of Wednesday's 110-108 preseason win over Toronto.

Queta, who came off the bench in his previous contest, started alongside Chris Boucher on Wednesday with the Celtics continuing to experiment with lineup combos. This was by far Queta's best performance of the preseason, and he was everywhere on the glass with five rebounds coming on the offensive end.

Queta is in the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's preseason game against the Raptors.

Queta, who started Friday's game before coming off the bench Sunday, will rejoin the first unit Wednesday. The 26-year-old has mostly served as a depth piece during his Celtics tenure, but he could see a notable increase in minutes and production as coach Joe Mazzulla evaluates his center rotation among Queta, Chris Boucher, Luka Garza and Xavier Tillman following the offseason departures of Kristaps Porzingis, Luke Kornet and Al Horford.

Queta will come off the bench during Sunday's preseason game against the Cavaliers.

Queta got the start Friday against the Raptors, but he will shift back to a bench role with Sam Hauser (rest) returning to the starting lineup. Queta will serve as backup to Chris Boucher at the five.

Queta (rest) will be in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Raptors.

After missing Wednesday's preseason game against the Grizzlies for rest purposes, Queta will be back on the floor. He joins Payton Pritchard, Anfernee Simons, Josh Minott and Chris Boucher in the first five.

Queta (rest) was on the inactive list for Wednesday's exhibition versus the Grizzlies.

It's unclear why Queta was rested for Boston's preseason opener, but he doesn't figure to be a significant part of the rotation, anyway. His next chance to play will come Friday in Toronto.

Queta recorded 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 25 minutes in Wednesday's 96-76 loss to Orlando.

Queta provided a lift off the Celtics bench Wednesday, recording team-high-tying marks in rebounds and blocks while leading all bench players in scoring and finishing as one of five Boston players with a double-digit point total. Queta recorded his ninth outing of the season with 10 or more points, his first since Feb. 8.

Queta provided four points (2-4 FG) and three rebounds in six minutes during Wednesday's 132-102 win over the Suns.

Queta's role continues to underwhelm, having now played fewer than 10 minutes in five straight games. It's been an up-and-down season for Queta, at one point playing as the primary backup center. On the whole, there has been very little to get excited about, with Queta averaging 4.9 points and 3.8 rebounds in just 13.8 minutes per game.

Queta recorded four points (1-1 FG, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds across nine minutes during Tuesday's 104-96 win over Brooklyn.

Queta was used sparingly off the bench again, an all too familiar story when it comes to assessing what has been a disappointing season. Even with both Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford missing time throughout the season, Queta has been unable to find consistent minutes. Having suited up on 53 occasions, he is averaging just 5.1 points and 3.9 rebounds in 14.4 minutes per game.

Queta is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the 76ers, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

The Celtics will rest most of their regulars, except Derrick White and Jayson Tatum, so they're tweaking the starting five considerably. Queta will start in the frontcourt alongside Luke Kornet, though how many minutes he'll end up seeing remains uncertain.

Queta supplied eight points (4-5 FG), 10 rebounds and one assist across 17 minutes during Sunday's 110-103 win over the Nuggets.

Queta provided a nice lift off the Celtics bench Sunday, leading all second unit players in rebounds while finishing two points short of a double-double. Queta matched a season high in rebounds, having hauled in 10 boards on two occasions.

The Celtics assigned Queta to the G League's Maine Celtics before he was later recalled to the NBA on Saturday.

Queta likely joined the G League Celtics for Saturday's practice ahead of their matchup against the Grand Rapids Gold on Tuesday. The 25-year-old big man has received inconsistent playing time with the parent club of late, and he has averaged 5.0 points and 2.9 rebounds across 13.1 minutes per game in his last 10 appearances.

Queta (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against the Raptors.

A non-COVID illness prevented Queta from playing in Sunday's win against the Knicks, but the fourth-year big man has recovered enough to be cleared to play Tuesday. With Al Horford (toe) and Luke Kornet (personal) both ruled out, Queta should see a heavy dosage of playing time behind and alongside Kristaps Porzingis.

Queta (illness) is probable for Tuesday's matchup against the Raptors, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Queta is likely to return to game action after missing Sunday's win over the Knicks due to a non-COVID illness. The big man has received inconsistent playing time over his last five outings, during which he has averaged 4.2 points and 2.6 rebounds across 9.4 minutes per contest. However, Queta could see an uptick in playing time Tuesday if Al Horford (toe) is downgraded from questionable to out.

Queta (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Knicks, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Queta has held a sporadic depth role in Boston's frontcourt this season, but he'll join Xavier Tillman (knee) in street clothes Sunday, which could open up more minutes for newcomer Torrey Craig. Queta's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday in Toronto.

Queta is questionable for Sunday's game against the Knicks due to a non-COVID illness, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Queta has been a depth option in the frontcourt all season long, but he's in danger of missing Sunday's rivalry matchup against the Knicks due to an illness. A decision on his status will likely be made closer to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET tipoff, but even if he's available, he's not likely to have a big impact in the rotation.

Queta chipped in six points (2-3 FG, 2-2 FT), three assists, two steals, one rebound and one block across nine minutes during Thursday's 117-96 loss to the Lakers.

Queta tied the game-high mark in steals while putting together a respectable outing in his limited run. The 25-year-old has operated under a fairly inconsistent role throughout the season, and over his last five appearances, he has averaged 5.8 points and 2.4 rebounds across 14.2 minutes per contest.

Queta ended Thursday's 118-115 win over the Timberwolves with eight points (4-5 FG), five rebounds and one steal in 22 minutes.

Queta has seen a big bump in minutes over the last two games and has been efficient when on the floor for the Celtics. The 25-year-old has scored eight points in back-to-back games while missing only two shots combined (8-for-10) against the Raptors and Timberwolves.

Queta recorded four points (2-3 FG), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 18 minutes during Thursday's 123-99 victory over Detroit.

The big man saw significant playing time off the bench while serving as the primary backup to Kristaps Porzingis on Thursday. Queta has appeared in three consecutive outings following a DNP-CD on Dec. 4, during which he has averaged 3.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.0 blocks across 15.7 minutes per contest.

Queta posted 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, four blocks and two steals over 25 minutes during Monday's 126-94 victory over the Clippers.

The Celtics were missing Al Horford (illness) and Luke Kornet (hamstring) for the second leg of this back-to-back set, while Kristaps Porzingis returned to action with 23 minutes. Queta absorbed the available center minutes and made the most of them, recording a season-high four blocks in the process. He's been excellent in limited minutes for the Celtics this season, but it's hard to see a path to consistent value now that the team is getting healthier up front.

Queta won't start Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

As expected, Queta will shift back to the bench with Al Horford returning to the starting lineup after a one-game absence due to an illness. However, with Luke Kornet (hamstring) unavailable, Queta should still see a sizable reserve role behind Horford on Sunday.

Queta ended Friday's 108-96 victory over Washington with seven points (1-3 FG, 5-6 FT), two rebounds and one block over 18 minutes.

Queta moved into the starting lineup after Al Horford was ruled out due to illness. Having assumed the primary backup role behind Horford, Queta was the obvious choice to run with the starters. However, his production was far from inspiring and he was replaced by Luke Kornet to begin the second half. Although he has carved out a consistent role, Queta's upside remains relatively limited.

Queta is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Wizards.

Queta will get the nod at center with Al Horford (illness) sidelined. In four previous starts this season, Queta is averaging 11.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.3 blocks across 26.3 minutes per game.

Queta is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers.

Queta will head to the bench for this game since the Celtics will play their best possible starting unit. Queta has averaged 4.6 points and 5.2 rebounds per game when playing off the bench this season.

Queta will start Wednesday's game against the Nets.

Queta will benefit from Al Horford resting Wednesday, entering the starting lineup for the third time this season. Queta has averaged 12.0 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game as a starter this season

Queta will play a reserve role in Friday's game against the Nets, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

With veteran Al Horford getting the starting nod at center, Queta will come off the bench. It will snap a string of two straight starts for the big man. He has averaged 5.0 points, 4.2 rebounds and 0.5 blocks across 12.2 minutes in six games as a reserve.

Queta totaled 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Monday's 123-93 win over the Hawks.

Queta made the first start of his NBA career and looked good operating in the frontcourt alongside Al Horford. However, Queta's presence in the starting lineup is expected to be a short one. Luke Kornet could move into a starting role for Wednesday's matchup against the Warriors in case Jaylen Brown (hip) is ruled out and Boston decides to play with a traditional lineup once again.

Queta will enter the starting lineup in Monday's game against the Hawks, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

The 25-year-old center will start alongside Al Horford in the frontocourt with Jaylen Brown (hip) out. Queta has played double-digit minutes in each of the Celtics' last three games, during which he averaged 6.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists while shooting 75.0 percent from the field across 17.7 minutes per game.

Queta recorded 12 points (6-6 FG), six rebounds and one assist over 24 minutes during Friday's 124-109 victory over the Hornets.

Queta logged a season-high 24 minutes, making the most of the fact that Al Horford was resting. While Luke Kornet got the start, it was Queta who stepped up, something to keep in mind the next time Horford is given the night off. With that said, the allocation of minutes could vary depending on the matchup, so there is no guarantee Queta plays 24 minutes next time.

Queta will move to the second unit for Tuesday's preseason game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

This is an expected move with Boston getting most of their key players back from a planned rest day. With Kristaps Porzingis sidelined to start the season, Queta is competing for rotational minutes with Xavier Tillman.

Queta posted 12 points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 15 rebounds, five assists and a block across 21 minutes in Sunday's 115-111 preseason win over the Raptors.

The Celtics rested the entire group that started in Saturday's huge win over the 76ers, and Queta certainly took advantage of his opportunity in this game. However, and as good as he looked in this win, Queta isn't likely to have a prominent role in the rotation, and his best bet at seeing the court on a regular basis would be to beat Xavier Tillman for the backup role behind Al Horford as long as Kristaps Porzingis (foot) remains sidelined.

Queta will start Sunday's preseason game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Queta will enter the starting lineup due to the Celtics benching their starters for the second half of a back-to-back set. The 25-year-old pro appeared in 28 games during the 2023-24 season and posted averages of 5.5 points and 4.4 rebounds in 11.9 minutes per game.

Queta has agreed to a multi-year deal with the Celtics, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Queta entered the offseason as a restricted free agent after the Celtics extended him a qualifying offer, and he'll remain with the team on a multi-year deal. Over 28 regular-season appearances with Boston last year, he averaged 5.5 points and 4.4 rebounds in 11.9 minutes per game.

The Celtics extended a qualifying offer to Queta on Saturday, making him a restricted free agent, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

The Celtics will have the ability to match opposing offers in free agency with this move. Queta was a fringe rotation player in 2023-24, averaging 5.5 points and 4.4 rebounds in 11.9 minutes per contest.

Queta tallied 19 points (8-11 FG, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, six blocks and one assist in 20 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 132-122 win over the Wizards.

With Boston resting all five of its usual starters along with top reserve big man Al Horford in the season finale, Queta was one of several Celtics reserves who stepped into enlarged roles. After tallying 16 points, six rebounds, five assists and two steals in just 18 minutes in Friday's 131-98 win over the Hornets, Queta came through with another huge line during his limited time on the court. Though he was recently converted from a two-way deal to a standard NBA contract, Queta will likely rejoin the G League's Maine Celtics for Game 3 of the G League Finals on Monday versus the Oklahoma City Blue. After that game, Queta will then make his way back to Boston for the start of the Celtics' postseason run.

Queta amassed 16 points (8-10 FG), six rebounds, five assists and two steals over 18 minutes during Friday's 131-98 win over Charlotte.

Queta returned to Boston on Friday after spending time in the G League with the Maine Celtics. With Boston locked into the best record in the NBA, the team opted to sit all five of its starters and Al Horford (toe), which gave Queta and the rest of the bench players extended playing time Friday. Queta took advantage of the opportunity, scoring a career-high 16 points on just 10 field-goal attempts. He will likely see a similar workload in the Celtics' regular-season finale against the Wizards on Sunday.

Boston recalled Queta from the G League's Maine Celtics on Friday, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Queta signed a standard contract with the Celtics on Monday and will join the parent club for the final two games of the regular season this weekend. Over 26 appearances with Boston this year, he's averaged 4.6 points and 4.1 rebounds in 11.4 minutes per game.

Queta agreed to a standard contract with the Celtics on Monday, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Queta will be eligible for the postseason after securing the team's 15th roster spot. He's appeared in 26 games this season for Boston, averaging 4.6 points and 4.1 rebounds in 11.4 minutes.

Queta (knee) scored one point (0-1 FG, 1-2 FT) and added one rebound, one assist and one block over two minutes Monday in the Celtics' 121-99 win over the Trail Blazers.

Queta and fellow deep reserves JD Davison and Jaden Springer didn't enter the game until 1:54 remained in the fourth quarter, when the Celtics had essentially clinched the win. The appearance was Queta's first at the NBA level since Feb. 14, with the third-year center having recently missed about a week of action due to a hyperextended knee. The two-way center is approaching the maximum number of active games he's allotted at the NBA level this season, so Queta could soon be headed to the G League's Maine Celtics to pick up playing time.

Queta (knee) is good to go for Saturday's matchup with the Suns.

No surprise here, as Queta was originally given a probable designation. He is returning relatively early from the week-to-week timetable originally given to him on March 3. Still, it remains to be seen if he will get any run in the rotation.

Quete (knee) is probable for Saturday's game against the Suns.

Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla said on March 3 that Queta was week-to-week, so it appears that he's going to beat his timetable. His return won't have a lot of fantasy implications, as he's averaged 12.3 minutes in 23 total appearances.

Queta's ongoing right knee soreness is expected to be sideline him for "a week or two," per coach Joe Mazzulla, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Queta logged just 18 minutes of G League action in the Maine Celtics' victory over the Wisconsin Herd on Sunday, exiting early due to knee soreness. Mazzulla noted that the injury is "nothing serious," but the 7-foot, 245 pound big appears set for a multi-game absence nonetheless.

Queta has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Warriors due to a hyperextended right knee, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Queta, a two-way player, has been playing in the G League since the All-Star break, and he appears to have suffered the injury in Friday's win over the Wisconsin Herd, which he finished with eight points and eight rebounds in 18 minutes.

Queta registered eight points (4-4 FG), eight rebounds and two steals in 10 minutes during Sunday's 131-91 victory over the Grizzlies.

Queta played only 10 minutes, but that didn't stop him from flirting with a double-double. He also recorded a season-high two steals. He's played double-digit minutes in five straight games, averaging 6.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 11.8 minutes during that stretch.

Queta finished with eight points (4-4 FG), five rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 12 minutes during Saturday's 115-96 loss to the Clippers.

Queta played 12 minutes in the loss, and could be up for additional minutes should the Celtics be without both Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) and Luke Kornet (hamstring). Quete had a couple of encouraging performances about a month ago, making him a name to watch over the coming days. If Porzingis and Kornet are both ruled out against the Pelicans on Monday, he could be worth a flier in deeper formats.

Queta supplied 14 points (4-7 FG, 6-8 FT), 12 rebounds and three assists in 23 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 145-108 win over the Clippers.

The 24-year-old center put together the best performance of his career as he took advantage of the absence of Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) and Luke Kornet (thigh). Queta's only two career double-doubles have come in the last three games, and while he's putting himself on the radar as a bargain DFS option as long as Boston's frontcourt remains shorthanded, he'll need to show more consistency to be worth a roster spot in most season-long formats.

Queta closed Tuesday's 132-126 overtime loss to Golden State with 10 points (5-8 FG), 10 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 21 minutes.

With Kristaps Porzingis (calf) and Luke Kornet (thigh) out, veteran Al Horford and Queta were left as the lone options at center. Queta responded with his first career NBA double-double. He also led the Celtics with a plus-10 point differential. Queta, who is on a two-way contract, is on the roster to attempt to replace the defensive prowess and rebounding of former Celtic Robert Williams. Tuesday's performance was certainly a step in the right direction. With Kornet likely out for Wednesday's match-up at Sacramento, Queta should get another solid chance to see minutes off the bench.

Queta finished with seven points (3-8 FG, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds and one steal over 15 minutes during Sunday's 113-103 win over Atlanta.

Kristaps Porzingis (calf) is expected to miss at least a week, so Al Horford started at center and Queta picked up 15 minutes off the bench compared to nine minutes for Luke Kornet. Queta made a positive impact in just his second appearance of the season, and he may get more opportunities as a result.

Queta logged five minutes off the bench in Sunday's 102-100 win over the Grizzlies, missing his only field-goal attempt and grabbing two rebounds.

Queta was sidelined for each of the Celtics' first 10 games with a right foot injury before he was finally cleared to play ahead of Wednesday's 117-107 win over the 76ers. He didn't play in that contest and also sat out Friday's 108-105 win over Toronto, but Queta got the chance to make his Boston debut Sunday in a narrow win. The seven-foot center will likely be an irregular part of the rotation moving forward, but with veteran Al Horford being a candidate to sit out the second half of a back-to-back set Monday in Charlotte, Queta and Luke Kornet could both be in line for minutes.

Queta (foot) is available for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

Queta missed eight straight games due to a foot injury but will be available off the bench Wednesday. Even when he was healthy, he wasn't part of coach Joe Mazzulla's rotation, but it's possible Queta will see some playing time Wednesday, as Jaylen Brown (illness) and Kristaps Porzingis (knee) are both out.

Queta (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Philadelphia, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Queta has missed eight straight games due to a right foot injury, but this is the first time he's been listed as questionable, suggesting he's making at least some improvement. However, even when he's cleared, it's unclear if he'll be part of Joe Mazzulla's rotation.

Queta (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Knicks.

Queta continues to deal with a right foot injury and will be unavailable for an eighth consecutive game. A timetable for his return isn't yet clear.

Queta (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nets, Steve Hewitt of the Boston Herald reports.

Queta continues to deal with a foot issue and will be unavailable for a third consecutive game. However, his continued absence shouldn't impact the Celtics' rotation.

Queta (foot) won't play in Wednesday's game against Indiana, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Queta will miss a second consecutive contest with right foot soreness. He was not a part of the Celtics' rotation when healthy. His next chance to play will come Saturday at Brooklyn.

Queta (foot) is officially doubtful for Wednesday's game against Indiana.

Queta is dealing with right foot soreness, which caused him to miss Monday's game against the Wizards. Luke Kornet has a firm grasp on third-string center minutes, so even when he's cleared, Queta doesn't have a clear path to playing time.

Queta has been ruled out for Monday's game against Washington due to right foot soreness.

Queta hasn't yet seen any playing time during the regular season, but he'll be unable to suit up Monday due to his foot injury. His next opportunity to play will be Wednesday against the Pacers.

Queta posted 12 points (6-6 FG, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds and one steal over 13 minutes in Thursday's 127-99 preseason win over Charlotte.

Queta led all Celtics bench players in rebounds while posting a bench-high-tying point total in Thursday's preseason finale against the Hornets. Queta tallied preseason-best marks in scoring and rebounds, finishing the preseason averaging 9.7 points and 4.7 rebounds over 11.7 minutes in three contests.

Queta and the Celtics are finalizing a deal Saturday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Queta, who was a second-round draft pick by the Kings in 2021, was waived by Sacramento earlier this week. He appeared in just 19 games over two seasons with the Kings, spending most of his time in the G League. Queta will have a chance to compete with Boston during training camp, but he's likely a long shot land a spot on the Opening Day roster.

The Kings waived Queta on Tuesday, Adrian Wojanowski of ESPN.com reports.

Queta will part ways with Sacramento after signing a two-year deal with the team earlier this offseason. With Nerlens Noel also being release, Alex Len and JaVale McGee will likely compete for the backup center role behind Domantas Sabonis (thumb). Queta has made just 19 NBA appearances but was a standout for the Stockton Kings of the G League last season.

The Kings signed Queta (foot) to a standard contract Tuesday, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Queta split time between the NBA and G League in 2022-23 as a two-way player. In five appearances for Sacramento, he averaged 2.4 points and 2.2 rebounds in 5.8 minutes. The 24-year-old center missed the end of the Summer League due to right foot soreness but should be ready to go for the regular season. Queta will likely compete for backup center minutes with Alex Len and Nerlens Noel in 2023-24.

Queta (foot) will miss the remainder of the Summer League, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Beereports.

Queta is dealing with some right foot soreness, but the Kings haven't provided many details yet. Queta made four appearances this summer, posting averages of 8.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.5 blocks.

Queta will not return to Monday's Summer League game against the Clippers due to right foot soreness, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Queta tallied two points, two rebounds, and two blocks in 10 minutes before exiting Monday's game early. His next chance to suit up is Tuesday's matchup with Chicago.

Queta recorded 13 points (5-12 FG, 0-1 3PT, 3-4 FT) 12 rebounds, three assists and two steals in 27 minutes of Friday's 80-76 Summer League win over Atlanta.

Despite being in the NBA for two years, Queta only has 20 total games under his belt. He made a strong case for more minutes Friday, though he'd have to outplay Trey Lyles and Alex Len in training camp for a shot at the backup center minutes in Sacramento.

Queta ended Sunday's 109-95 loss to Denver with zero points (0-1 FG), two rebounds and one block across four minutes.

Queta got back into the rotation Sunday, seeing the court for the first time since late 2022. The Kings simply rolled all of their pieces out there for what was a meaningless game, providing Queta with quite possibly his last action for the season.

Sacramento recalled Queta from the G League's Stockton Kings and upgraded him to available for Tuesday's game in Phoenix.

The two-way center looks like he'll suit up Tuesday, but he'll likely find himself on the outside of head coach Mike Brown's rotation while all of Domantas Sabonis, Chimezie Metu, Richaun Holmes, Alex Len and Trey Lyles are healthy. Queta has appeared in just four games for Sacramento this season, averaging 3.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 0.3 assists and 0.3 blocks in 6.3 minutes.

Queta tallied (5-6 FG, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, three blocks and one assist in 25 minutes during Saturday's 119-105 loss to the Blue.

Queta recorded a double-double for a second straight game. His seven offensive rebounds were a game-high, but he was only able to play limited minutes due to picking up five fouls.

Queta recorded 19 points (7-11 FG, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 32 minutes during Saturday's 110-109 loss to the Hustle.

Queta posted his sixth double-double of the season in Saturday's narrow loss. His 14 rebounds were a game-high, and he was Stockton's second-leading scorer.

Queta has been promoted from the G League and has rejoined the Kings, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Queta has appeared in just a handful of games for the Kings this season and has crossed into double digits just once. There's little reason to anticipate a significant workload with Sacramento, but Queta could see a few minutes Friday if Domantas Sabonis (illness) cannot suit up.

The Kings assigned Queta to the Stockton Kings of the G League on Wednesday, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Queta is one of the Kings' two-way players and has spent the last three weeks in the NBA. However, he hasn't played for Sacramento since Dec. 23, so he will likely receive more minutes back in Stockton.

Queta will be active for Tuesday's contest against the 76ers, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

The two-way Center has an opportunity to make his NBA season debut during Tuesday's contest against Philadelphia. Queta has dominated throughout his first 14 contests in the G League this season, averaging 19.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.9 blocks across 31.4 minutes per game.

Queta (calf) will play Wednesday against the Thunder, Sean Cunningham of ABC 10 Sacramento reports.

Queta was unable to return to action Sunday after leaving due to calf soreness, but the problem appears to have subsided after a few days to rest. The big man tallied 12 points, seven boards and four blocks before his departure Sunday and will aim to follow that with another strong showing Wednesday.

Queta has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Summer League game against the Pacers due to left calf soreness.

Queta notched 12 points (5-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and four blocks in 17 minutes before suffering the injury. The extent of his issue is unknown, but his next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Thunder.

Queta and the Kings agreed to a two-way contract Saturday.

Queta was on a two-way deal with the Kings last year as well. He appeared in 14 games with the parent club and averaged 3.2 points and 2.2 rebounds in 8.6 minutes. He should have a similar role this year.

Queta racked up three points (1-1 FG, 1-2 FT) and one rebound in 15 minutes during Monday's 123-100 loss to the Heat.

Queta was elevated from the G League ahead of Monday's contest and made his first NBA appearance since Jan. 31. The rookie second-round pick played double-digit minutes for just the second time this season and connected on his only field-goal attempt. It's unclear if his increased playing time was a product of Sacramento's large deficit, or if the Kings are actually going to give the Utah State product an extended look over the final two weeks of the campaign, which would make sense given Domantas Sabonis (knee) and Richaun Holmes (personal) are both out for an extended period. Regardless, Queta isn't expected to generate enough production to warrant fantasy consideration.

Queta recorded 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 24 minutes during Monday's 109-108 loss to the Cavaliers.

Queta entered the contest having logged just 11 total minutes across three games, but he was given the opportunity for an expanded role with Richaun Holmes (COVID-19 protocols), Damian Jones (COVID-19 protocols) and Tristan Thompson (quadriceps) all out of action. The rookie center did well with the chance, finishing with the first double-digit scoring performance of his career. Queta has spent most of the campaign in the G League with Stockton, averaging 16.0 points, 7.9 boards and 1.9 blocks over 13 games.

Queta has cleared health and safety protocols ahead of Friday's game against the Mavericks, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Queta was the last member of the Kings still remaining in the league's health and safety protocols. With his clearance, the team will be 100 percent healthy going into Friday's game against Dallas. Queta has appeared in just two games this season as he's spent most of his time playing for the Stockton Kings in the NBA G League.

Queta was placed in the league's health and safety protocols Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Queta was called up to the Kings when Alex Len and Marvin Bagley entered COVID-19 protocols. The rookie second-round pick appeared in two games, totaling five rebounds, two assists and one block across 10 minutes. His potential absence shouldn't impact the Kings' rotations, but Sacramento may be in the market for frontcourt depth after losing another big man to the NBA's protocols.

The Kings announced Monday that Queta signed a two-way contract with the team, Jason Jones of The Athletic reports.

Queta, the No. 39 overall pick in this year's NBA draft, put pen to paper on the deal shortly before he's scheduled to make his Las Vegas Summer League debut Monday versus the Hornets. The Kings currently have incumbent starter Richaun Holmes and offseason pickups Tristan Thompson and Alex Len ahead of him on the depth chart at center, so the shot-blocking big man from Utah State will likely struggle to find playing time at the NBA level as a rookie.
