Exits to locker room Queta exited to the locker room in the first quarter of Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to an apparent left ankle injury, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Queta landed awkwardly on his left ankle and exited to the locker room after logging under six minutes. Nikola Vucevic and Luka Garza should handle the center minutes if Queta isn't cleared to return.

Available to play Queta (ankle) is available to play Wednesday against the Bulls, according to Celtics reporter Bobby Manning.

Impact Queta will clear a probable tag to suit up for the final game before the All-Star break. Queta has been reduced to a timeshare with Nikola Vucevic in recent outings.

Pops up on injury report Queta is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to a right ankle sprain.

Impact Queta is tending to a minor ankle injury, but he's slated to play through the issue Wednesday night. In the two games since Boston acquired Nikola Vucevic, Queta has played 22 and 23 minutes, compared to Vucevic's 28 and 23 minutes.

Quiet in loss Queta ended Sunday's 111-89 loss to the Knicks with four points (2-4 FG), five rebounds and one assist over 23 minutes.

Impact Queta saw 23 minutes as the starting center, matching the workload of Nikola Vucevic. This has the look of a timeshare, but it could fluctuate depending on matchups -- Queta is more of a defensive presence while Vucevic is instant offense.

Protects the rim in Wednesday's win Queta recorded 10 points (3-4 FG, 4-4 FT), 19 rebounds, two assists, five blocks and two steals over 39 minutes during the Celtics' 114-93 win over the Rockets on Wednesday.

Impact Queta showed off his defensive chops during Wednesday's win, serving as the Celtics' anchor in the paint while matching a season high with five blocks. He was also dominant on the boards, with his 19 rebounds being his most in a game since Jan. 7 against the Nuggets, when he hauled in a season-high 20 rebounds. Queta has been productive for the Celtics in his first season as a full-time starter, though how his role will change following Boston's acquisition of Nikola Vucevic from Chicago on Tuesday remains to be seen.

Derrick White's 28 points power Celtics to 114-93 win over Rockets

Flirts with double-double Queta provided eight points (4-6 FG), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 110-100 win over Dallas.

Impact Queta put together another serviceable performance, closing in on what would have been his sixth double-double of the season. While he has been able to deliver a top-100 season, things could be about to change in Boston. Having acquired Nikola Vucevic in a trade earlier in the day, there is a chance Queta's days as the starting center are numbered. If that is the case, and Queta slots into a 20-minute per-night role off the bench, fantasy managers may have to re-evaluate his worth moving forward.

Fares well in win Queta chipped in 14 points (7-10 FG), eight rebounds, four assists and one block across 31 minutes during Sunday's 107-79 win over Milwaukee.

Impact This was a solid showing for Queta as he showcased his improved playmaking ability -- this was his seventh career game with at least four dimes. He's quietly been a solid late-round fantasy producer, and his fantasy managers will be hoping that the Celtics don't add any frontcourt competition at the trade deadline.
