The Celtics have some perilously thin depth even with Queta healthy and available to play, and it could be some time before they have that luxury again after the Lisbon native sprained his ankle in the Celtics' win over the Orlando Magic on this past Sunday (Nov. 23) evening.
Now, Boston will have to take on one of the toughest stretches of their 2025-26 NBA regular season schedule down Queta, and needing to lean on Luka Garza, Xavier Tillman Sr., and Josh Minott simply to have any hope at all at staying in games against much larger front lines.
