Kristaps Porzingis reunited with former Celtics teammate Neemias Queta during the EuroBasket tournament on Monday, with Porzingis’ Latvia team defeating Queta and Portugal, 78-62.
Porzingis posted 21 points in the win, but Queta was strong for Portugal with 16 points and seven rebounds.
Queta’s play so far during EuroBasket should be a welcome sight for Celtics fans — considering that the 7-foot center might be primed to take over as Boston’s starting big man for the 2025-26 season.
At this stage of the offseason, Queta might be the only viable frontcourt option on Boston’s depleted roster.
