Sees four minutes in Game 6 Queta accumulated two points (1-2 FG), one rebound and one steal over four minutes during Friday's 119-81 loss to New York in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Impact Queta made juts his fourth appearance of the postseason Friday due to the lopsided score. Playing in his fourth NBA season, Queta compiled regular-season averages of 5.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 0.7 blocks in 13.9 minutes across 62 appearances. Queta is under contract for two more years and is likely to be an emergency depth option for the Celtics in 2025-26 as things stand right now.

MAY 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Strong off bench in defeat 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.

Impact 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.

APRIL 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

MARCH 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

MARCH 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back to bench Saturday Queta is not in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Lakers on Saturday, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Impact Queta made his sixth start of the season Thursday against the 76ers and finished with eight points, nine rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 24 minutes. He'll come off the bench Saturday due to the return of Al Horford, but Queta and Luke Kornet should still see minutes off the bench due to the continued absence of Kristaps Porzingis (illness).

Tatum scores 35 to carry load for short-handed Celtics in 123-105 win over 76ers

Jayson Tatum had 35 points and the Boston Celtics powered past the Philadelphia 76ers 123-105

MARCH 7, 2025 • Associated Press

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

Impact 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.

MARCH 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

MARCH 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

MARCH 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

FEBRUARY 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Solid performance in limited run 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.

Impact 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.
