Boston Celtics are reportedly signing center Neemias Queta to a long-term contract extension. Multiple outlets, citing Shams Charania, report that Queta will sign a four-year, $56 million deal to remain with the franchise. The reported agreement comes as the Celtics move into a new phase following the departure of Jaylen Brown, and it secures an emerging frontcourt player for the team’s future.
Queta, 26, was selected in the second round of the 2021 NBA Draft, taken as the 39th overall pick by the Sacramento Kings. He spent his first two seasons in Sacramento in a limited role before joining Boston. The reports describe the extension as a way for the Celtics to keep Queta in place after what they characterize as strong production while with the team.
