Following Neemias Queta’s dominant performance against Salt Lake City, in which he tallied 24 points, 16 boards, 7 blocks, and 2 steals, he was called up to the Sacramento Kings for the matchups against the league’s Los Angeles teams.
A product of Portugal, the country’s dedicated fan base stayed up until 4 a.m. last week to see Queta’s NBA debut, only to be informed minutes before tip-off that he would be on the inactive roster against the Lakers. In hindsight, a 35-point loss was the perfect opportunity for Gentry to give Queta some garbage-time run.
