The Boston Celtics signed Neemias Queta to a two-way contract, per multiple sources. Queta, a 24-year-old 7-foot center from Portugal, previously played for the Sacramento Kings but mainly spent his time in the G League with their Stockton Kings affiliate.
In the 2022-23 season, he started a total of 29 games in the G League, averaging 16.8 points, 8.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and almost two blocks per game. He shot 68.5% from the field. Despite having gone undrafted in 2019, Queta has shown promising skills for a big man and the sort of physicality in the frontcourt Boston lacks.
