Agrees to 4-year extension
Queta and the Celtics agreed to a four-year, $56 million extension Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Analysis
The Celtics recently picked up Queta's team option for 2026-27, but the team quickly moved to lock him up for another four years through 2030-31. Queta averaged 10.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.3 blocks and 0.8 steals in 25.3 minutes per game across 76 regular-season outings (75 starts) last season, but he does have some extra competition for next season with the Celtics adding Mitchell Robinson up front.

Team option picked up
The Celtics picked up Queta's team option Monday, Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe reports.
Analysis
This is an expected move for Boston after Queta put together a solid campaign as their starting center. He produced averages of 10.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.3 blocks and 0.8 steals in 25.3 minutes per game across 76 outings (75 starts). Depending on what the Celtics do in free agency, Queta could again be in line for a big role in the frontcourt.
