The Boston Celtics lost a lot of their frontcourt talent this offseason.
Kristaps Porzingis was traded to the Atlanta Hawks. Al Horford left in free agency for the Golden State Warriors.
Part of that was to rebuild with Jayson Tatum out. Part of that was about money. And part of that was about Neemias Queta.
The Celtics were believers in what Queta brings on the floor.
So far this season, Queta has mostly proven that right.
But on Sunday, he left the game vs. The Magic early.
Neemias Queta injury update
Queta came to the huddle during a timeout in the first quarter.
He didn't stick around, though. He limped all the way to the locker room.

Queta had gotten hurt on a play at the rim, although it's not immediately clear which part of his lower body specifically had been bothered.
Without Queta, the Celtics get really thin up front.
