Prior to signing with Boston, Queta (who was the 39th pick in the 2021 NBA Draft) had spent the first two seasons of his career with the Sacramento Kings.
He was waived by the Kings in September.
Queta had a partial contract guarantee, so Sacramento is still paying him $250,000 through the remainder of the season (h/t Sam Yip of HoopsHype, Spotrac and Yossi Gozlan of capsheets.com).
This seemed inevitable after the Sacramento Kings signed JaVale McGee to a guaranteed salary.

Nerlens Noel has a $300,000 partial guarantee. Neemias Queta is at $250,000.
They now have one roster spot open and could use a third point guard. Cameron Payne could make sense there. https://t.co/HWsp56eyLk
Queta's career averages are 3.8 points and 3.3 rebounds per contest while shooting 56.3% from the field in 45 regular season games.

"There was a whole stretch during the season where he was playing significant minutes and he won games for us."
"He brings it every day and has his level of patience, and understands that his time is going to come."
