Nehemias Queta was released by the Sacramento Kings. The information was provided by ESPN journalist Adrian Wojnarowski, who reports that Nerlens Noel is also cutting ties with the California team.
This situation has already become somewhat predictable after the franchise signed JaVale McGee.
In addition to this, Domantas Sabonis, Trey Lyles and Alex Len are the other guards with a guaranteed contract, which immediately left the Portuguese with very little room in the team under Mike Brown.
Thus, the Portuguese center becomes a free agent, having the opportunity to sign a contract with any other NBA team (the season begins on October 24) or go to Europe, although time is now short and the preparatory work is, of course, already underway.
In the summer, the basketball player was linked with Partizan, one of the main teams of the Old Continent, coached by the mythical Zeljko Obradovic.
remember, that In August, Nehemiah signed what is known as a “standard” contract.valid for one season, which could foreshadow a larger investment in Ketan after two seasons tied to a “two-way” contract that limited his use to the first team and where he eventually played primarily for the Stockton Kings in the G League.
He was the focus of Summer League this summer, but a foot injury forced him out of competition in July.
During his seasons with the Kings, Queta appeared in 20 first-team games. Last season, he played in 43 games for the Sacramento affiliate Stockton Kings.
In them, he averaged 17.7 points, 8.7 rebounds and 1.9 tackles per game. Nehemias was the first Portuguese player to make an NBA team when he was selected 39th overall in the 2021 draft by the Sacramento Kings.
