Neemias Queta News, Rumors, Updates - Boston Celtics

In-line for expanded role Queta registered 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-7 FT), 15 rebounds, one block and one steal over 26 minutes during Friday's 120-100 victory over the Mavericks.

Impact Queta dominated the glass Friday, pulling down a game-high 15 rebounds to secure his fourth double-double in his last seven outings. His outlook for the remainder of the regular season has shifted significantly following the news that Nikola Vucevic (finger) is expected to miss at least 3-4 weeks. While Queta and Vucevic had been splitting time at center, Queta is now locked in as the primary interior option for Boston. With Vucevic sidelined, Queta's 25-plus minute workload appears secure.

Cleared from injury report Queta (rest) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, per Keith Smith of Spotrac.com.

Impact The Celtics gave Queta the night off during Monday's win over the Bucks, but the 26-year-old big man is ready to return to the floor Wednesday and figures to send Nikola Vucevic back to the bench. Over his past five appearances, Queta is averaging 13.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.6 assists in 24.6 minutes per contest while shooting a robust 69.2 percent from the field.

Sitting out Monday Queta is out for Monday's game against the Bucks for rest purposes, per NBA reporter Marc Stein.

Impact It's well-deserved night off for Queta, who went off for a career-high 27 points during Sunday's win over the 76ers. Nikola Vucevic figures to draw his first start Monday since joining the Celtics ahead of the trade deadline, and Luka Garza should step into the backup center role in the absence of Queta.

Another double-double Tuesday Queta supplied 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-4 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 97-81 win over the Suns.

Impact Queta recorded his second straight double-double, once again outperforming Nikola Vucevic. While the addition of Vucevic has had an impact on Queta's playing time, the fact that he is a superior defender appears to have him ahead of Vucevic in the rotation. Assuming he can see close to 22 minutes per night moving forward, Queta should still be able to flirt with top 100 value.
