Neemias Queta Fantasy Stats

Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta (undisclosed) is dealing with an injury of some kind after Portugal pulled him early in the fourth quarter of Friday's FIBA Basketball World Cup 2027 European Qualifiers win over Spain, Keith Smith reports. Head coach Mario Gomes said the medical staff flagged a "real risk" and shut Queta down as a precaution, but he did not name the injury. The 27-year-old had 16 points, nine rebounds, one assist, and two steals in 24-plus minutes before exiting. Portugal hosts Georgia on Monday, making his status there the next read on severity. Queta averaged 10.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.3 blocks, and 0.8 steals last season before signing a four-year, $56 million deal, but Boston also added Mitchell Robinson and still has Luka Garza. Any missed camp time would add pressure to Queta's hold on the starting center job.

Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta racked up 16 points, nine rebounds, and two steals in 24 minutes as Portugal upset Spain 95-89 on Friday in the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2027 European Qualifiers. Five of his boards came on the offensive glass, where the 27-year-old continues to do his best work. Queta averaged 10.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 1.3 blocks across 76 games last season, starting 75 of them before signing a four-year, $56 million extension in July. Boston added Mitchell Robinson this offseason, but Keith Smith has reported the expectation is that Robinson opens off the bench, keeping Queta in the starting mix. With Jaylen Brown now in Philadelphia, there should be enough touches for Queta to build on last season's leap if he holds the job.

Boston Celtics forward/center Neemias Queta could take another step forward offensively after a breakout season that earned him a four-year, $56 million extension. The 26-year-old averaged 10.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 1.3 blocks while shooting 65.3 percent from the field, giving Boston efficient rim-running production around its creators. Jack Simone of Boston Sports Journal noted that the Celtics scored 1.35 points per possession on Queta pick-and-roll looks, a strong sign that more touches could be available next to Jayson Tatum, Derrick White, and Payton Pritchard. Jaylen Brown's move to Philadelphia also opens up creation elsewhere, but Mitchell Robinson's arrival adds center competition. Queta's fantasy value still leans on field-goal percentage, rebounds, and blocks, with minutes deciding how high the ceiling climbs.

Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta joked that he would not spend $100,000 per week on private training with Hakeem Olajuwon in an interview with A Bola. The comment came after the 27-year-old signed a four-year, $56 million extension, locking him into Boston after a breakout season. Queta averaged 10.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks while starting 75 of 76 games, a major jump from 5.0 points and 3.8 rebounds the year before. The contract gives him stability, but Mitchell Robinson's arrival keeps the center rotation worth watching. For fantasy, Queta remains a rising rebounds, blocks, and field-goal percentage target, though his ceiling depends on minutes.

Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta has agreed to a four-year, $56 million extension to remain in Boston, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. It caps a remarkable climb for the 26-year-old Portuguese 7-footer, who went from a two-way deal and G League stints in Maine to Boston's starting center. Queta seized that job last season after the Celtics traded Kristaps Porzingis and let Al Horford and Luke Kornet walk, and he delivered career highs of 10.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks while shooting 65.3 percent, third-best in the NBA. For fantasy, he's a quietly valuable category center: the field-goal percentage, boards, and blocks add up even without gaudy scoring. The extension locks in a role that only grows more central as Boston retools around a post-Jaylen Brown roster. The one cap on his ceiling is minutes, with offseason signing Mitchell Robinson now providing real depth behind him.

Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta will be back with the organization after his team option was picked up on Monday. This was a no-brainer for the Celtics after Queta posted strong numbers with the Celtics this past season. He averaged 10.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks across 25.3 minutes per game in 76 contests. Depending on what the Celtics do this offseason, Queta could be in line for the starting center role next season. If they do add someone, Queta should still play a similar role, which should mean he'll be a viable fantasy contributor.

Boston Celtics forward/center Neemias Queta recorded 17 points, 12 rebounds, and one assist in 33 minutes during Saturday's Game 7 loss to Philadelphia. He moved to a reserve role but still logged his highest minutes of the series, finishing an efficient 7-for-8 from the field while making his presence felt on the boards. Queta turned in multiple double-digit rebounding games in the series, showing steady interior impact. Boston now shifts into the offseason, where Queta's role and long-term spot in the frontcourt will be worth monitoring.

Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta (toe) will be active against the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday. The Portuguese big man has been upgraded from probable to available. After tallying 10 points and 10 rebounds in Thursday's loss to New York, Queta has a chance to record a second consecutive double-double. He is averaging 15.0 points, 8.6 boards, 2.6 assists, and 2.2 blocks in 29.0 minutes per game in April.

According to Taylor Snow of the Boston Celtics' official site, center Neemias Queta (toe) will play against the New York Knicks on Thursday. Despite dealing with a toe sprain, the 26-year-old is set to suit up. Fortunately, Derrick White (knee) is also available after previously being listed as questionable, as Jaylen Brown (Achilles) is on the shelf. Queta has been on a strong run recently, averaging 16.3 points and 8.3 rebounds across 30.3 minutes per game over his last four outings.

Boston Celtics center Neemias Queta (toe) is questionable for Thursday's matchup with the New York Knicks. The Celtics begin a back-to-back set and have listed four starters as questionable on the injury report. Queta is nursing a right toe sprain. If he can't play against the Knicks, Nikola Vucevic would move into the starting lineup. So far, Vucevic has started only one game for Boston, amassing 10 points, five rebounds, seven assists, and one block in 26 minutes against Milwaukee on March 2. Luka Garza's playing time would also increase with Queta's absence.
