'Court' honoring Neemias Queta inaugurated today in Boston

SAPO Notícias12 September 2026 at 14:31

A basketball court honoring Neemias Queta was inaugurated today in Boston. The court, which bears the number 88 of the Portuguese center for the Celtics, was painted in the colors of Portugal.

The site is located in the Cambridge area, a neighborhood where the Portuguese community has a strong presence. The choice of this location reflects the significant Portuguese community in the region.

Neemias Queta is a Portuguese player who plays for the Celtics, an NBA team, and wears jersey number 88. This marks the first time a Portuguese player plays in the NBA.

Why this matters

The Portuguese community in Boston gains a symbolic landmark that celebrates Queta's story as the first Portuguese player to play in the NBA, serving as inspiration for young athletes and reinforcing Portuguese identity in the diaspora. The tribute recognizes the player's historical impact on Portugal's visibility in professional North American basketball.
