Neemias Queta underwent left knee surgery earlier this offseason following the Celtics’ second round loss to the Knicks, he told CLNS Media. He expects to play in EuroBasket later this month after returning to Boston for final clearance after conditioning at his annual camp in Lisbon, Portugal.
CLNS spent a week with Queta between the camp and Vale da Amoreira, where Queta grew up, and observed his workouts with Maine Celtics assistant Taaj Ridley focused on ramping up for the tournament. This year marks Portugal’s fourth-ever appearance in the competition and its first since 2011.
