Ruled out for Sunday Queta (toe) won't play Sunday versus the Magic, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Impact The Celtics are expected to sit their entire starting lineup for Sunday's regular-season finale, and Nikola Vucevic (finger) is also expected to hit the sidelines, so Luka Garza and Amari Williams should get all the run they can handle. While Queta will skip Sunday's game, we wouldn't expect this minor toe injury to impact his status for the playoffs.

Upgraded to available Queta (toe) is available for Thursday's game against the Knicks, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Impact Queta is good to go despite nursing a toe sprain Thursday. Over his last five appearances, the standout big man has averaged 16.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.4 blocks in 30.0 minutes per contest while shooting a robust 75.0 percent from the field during this stretch.

Iffy for Thursday Queta (toe) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Knicks.

Impact The toe sprain is a new concern for Queta, who has missed just two games since the All-Star break. If the big man is unable to suit up in the front end of this back-to-back, Nikola Vucevic and Luka Garza would be candidates to take on expanded roles.

Scores 18 points with three swats Queta notched 18 points (9-10 FG), seven rebounds, four assists and three blocks in 34 minutes during Sunday's 115-101 victory over Toronto.

Impact Queta was a beast on the offensive glass, creating numerous second-chance opportunities for the Celtics with his five O-boards, and he received big praise from Jaylen Brown after the game, per Justin Turpin of WEEI.com. "Neemi has been great. He's been just consistently getting better," said Brown. "In my opinion, he's probably one of the most improved players this year. I don't know if he's up for the award, but he should be." There's some tough competition for the MIP trophy this season with Jalen Duren, Deni Avdija and Nickeil Alexander-Walker all taking major leaps, but Queta has to be in the conversation with the way he's elevated the Celtics' defense.
