The Celtics finalize a four-year, $56 million contract extension for Cueter.

July 4th - According to ESPN , the Boston Celtics have reached a contract agreement with center Nimes Cueta . The contract is a four - year, fully guaranteed $ 56 million extension, confirmed by his agent, Bill Duffy .

 

Earlier this week, the Celtics exercised Cueter's player option for next season, and the two sides quickly reached a long-term extension, extending his contract until the end of the 2030-31 season.

 

The 27 -year-old Cueta had a career breakthrough last season, securing a regular starting position after changes to the Celtics' frontcourt lineup. He played 76 games ( 75 starts), averaging 10.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, over 65% field goal percentage, and 1.3 blocks per game.

 

After veterans Al Horford , Luke Kornet , and Kristaps Porzingis left the team, Cuetta became an important pillar of the team's interior defense, ranking fourth in the Most Improved Player voting and also receiving some All-Defensive Team votes.
