Gets garbage-time burn 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.

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

MARCH 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

Week-to-week with knee soreness 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.

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

Out with knee injury 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.

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

Logs 12 minutes in loss 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.

Impact 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.

Brad Stevens addresses Neemias Queta roster spot option for Celtics Neemias Queta has made a case to be added to the Celtics 15-man roster this season.

Double-double off bench Saturday 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.

Impact 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.

Double-doubles in OT loss 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.

Impact 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.

Hauls in 10 rebounds 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.

Impact 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.

Thanks to Neemias Queta and Dalano Banton, the bench has justified getting more minutes for the evolving Celtics - The Boston Globe Queta supplied 7 points and 10 rebounds in 15 minutes, while Banton scored 8 points in 19 minutes.

Makes season debut 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.

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

NOVEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Remains out Saturday Queta (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Raptors.

Still sidelined Friday Queta (foot) won't play in Friday's game versus the Nets, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Impact Queta's absence streak will extend to six games while dealing with a right foot injury. His next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Toronto.
