Boston Celtics Lock in Neemias Queta on $56 Million Extension
Queta earned the extension after a breakout season with 75 starts and career highs of 10.2 points and 8.4 rebounds per game, ESPN reported.
- On Friday, the Boston Celtics agreed to a four-year, $56 million contract extension with center Neemias Queta, according to ESPN's Shams Charania, securing his future beyond the 2026-27 season.
- Queta earned the lucrative pact after a breakout 2025-26 campaign where he started 75 of 76 games, averaging career highs of 10.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks while shooting 65.3 percent from the field.
- Boston also bolstered its frontcourt by signing former New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson to a three-year, $47.4 million deal on Wednesday, with both contracts combining for just under $30 million annually.
- President of basketball operations Brad Stevens said the team felt comfortable with Queta's minutes, noting, "We need him to be a super hard-playing person who raises our level collectively," while head coach Joe Mazzulla manages two starting-caliber centers.
- The extension provides stability following the stunning trade of Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia Sixers earlier this week, and Boston remains $27.513 million under the first salary cap apron while securing its core rotation.
