When the Celtics left for their West Coast trip, there was going to be an opportunity for Neemias Queta to earn minutes. With Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford, and Luke Kornet all bound to miss some time, it was just a question of whether Queta would grab the opportunity. Looking back, it’s safe to say he did.
Here are Queta’s splits from the four games in California:
- Golden State Warriors: 10 points (5-8 shooting), 10 rebounds in 21 minutes.
- Sacramento Kings: 6 points (3-8 shooting), 8 rebounds in 19 minutes.
- LA Clippers: 14 points (4-7 shooting), 12 rebounds in 23 minutes.
