Kristaps Porzingis doesn’t mince words about Celtics’ poor center depth
Kristaps Porzingis was one of many offseason departures from the Celtics' roster this summer.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.
