Backup Boston Celtics big man Neemias Queta has had offseason knee surgery, according to recent reporting from CLNS Media reporter Bobby Manning. Per the CLNS Media reporter, Queta underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee soon after Boston fell to the New York Knicks in the 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Neemias Queta underwent knee surgery earlier this offseason, though it doesn’t sound serious as he’s expected to be back on the court playing soon. Queta revealed to CLNS’ Bobby Manning that he had an arthroscopic surgery on his left knee after the Celtics were eliminated from the playoffs against the Knicks.

The procedure addressed a knee issue that has lingered for multiple seasons, according to Queta. Because the surgery occurred early in the offseason, he was able to resume on-court and conditioning work in July and hopes to suit up for Portugal in the EuroBasket tournament, which begins on August 27.
