The Boston Celtics have secured center Neemias Queta with a $56 million contract extension, the team announced on July 3, 2026.
The agreement comes soon after Boston bolstered its frontcourt by bringing in fellow center Mitchell Robinson. By extending Queta, the Celtics retain a player who emerged as a reliable interior option last season while adding depth alongside their newest acquisition.
Financial terms released by the club list the deal at $56 million. Contract length and additional incentives were not disclosed.
Queta, 27, joined Boston in 2023 and worked his way into the rotation with consistent rebounding and rim protection. His new deal signals the organization’s intention to keep multiple big men under contract as it reshapes the roster for the upcoming campaign.
Robinson’s arrival and Queta’s extension leave the Celtics with a crowded center position that now features size, athleticism and defensive versatility heading into training camp.
