Celtics’ Queta Exits with Two Technical Fouls…
Celtics center Neemias Queta was dramatically ejected from a crucial EuroBasket Group Play game against Estonia after drawing his second technical foul. It was as if he transformed into a human foghorn, shouting ‘and-one’ so powerfully that the referees thought the roof might fly off! At the time of his dramatic exit, Portugal and Estonia were neck-and-neck at 38 halfway through the third quarter. Queta was leading the charge with 15 points, 3 rebounds, 1 block, and 1 steal.
Portugal entered Wednesday’s game with a record of 1-3, having beaten the Czech Republic but then slipping up against Serbia, Turkey, and Latvia. Meanwhile, both Portugal and Estonia were in a dramatic showdown—each clutching the same slippery bar of success at 1-3 in Group Play. Whoever won would advance to the knockout round, which is apparently as exclusive as a party where only 16 out of 24 EuroBasket teams are invited. Stay tuned for more as the story develops!
