The Boston Celtics have had players suiting up in a total of 68 different jersey numbers (and have three others not part of any numerical series) since their founding at the dawn of the Basketball Association of America (BAA – the league that would become today's NBA), worn by well over 500 players in the course of Celtics history.
To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Celtics Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team.
With 25 of those jerseys now retired to honor some of the greatest Celtics to wear those jerseys, there is a lot of history to cover.
And for today's article, we will continue with the second of two to wear the No. 88, big man alum Neemias Queta. After ending his college career at Utah State, Queta was picked up with the 39th overall selection of the 2021 NBA Draft by the Sacramento Kings.
The Lisbon, Portugal native played the first two seasons of his pro career with Sacramento before he was cut and picked up by Boston in 2023, and he remains with the team at the time of writing.
During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Queta wore only jersey No. 88 and put up 6.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game.
