Seven months after signing a two-way contract with the Boston Celtics, former Utah State star center Neemias Queta is reportedly being signed to a multi-year contract by the very same Eastern Conference frontrunners. Queta has played in 26 games this season, more appearances than his first two seasons — both with the Sacramento Kings — combined. With the Celtics being forced to manage minor injuries throughout the year with their main rotation bigs – Al Horford, Kristaps Porzingis and Luke Kornet – Queta had a couple stretches where he played volume minutes. From Dec. 15 to Dec. 31, Queta played in nine games, averaging 16 minutes, 5.8 points and 5.1 rebounds per game. That span also included his first two career double-doubles, a 10-point, 10-rebound game against Golden State and a 14-point, 12-rebound effort against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Portuguese big man has still spent some time in the G-League as part of being a two-way player, appearing in 11 games for the Maine Celtics this year and averaging 13.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.9 blocks in those contests. While terms of the deal are not yet publicly known, it’s been reported by multiple insiders that the contract runs

BERKELEY, California – Utah State’s Brianna Brooks had a career outing at the NCAA Regional Championships on Friday as she tied her season high on bars with a 9.900 to tie for first on the event. That score is tied for the third-best on bars at an NCAA Regional meet in school history. Brooks represented Utah State at the California Regional on Friday in Session I of the second round and was one of five gymnasts to score a 9.900 on bars along with Rylie Mundell (Denver), Emma Malabuyo (UCLA), Cienna Samiley (Arizona State) and Jada Mangahas (Arizona State). Overall, Brooks was one of 27 competitors on the event. “Once again, Brianna proved that she is one of the best in the business,” said USU head coach Kristin White. “We are so proud of her and honored to have her represent Utah State.” Brooks will now wait for the conclusion of tonight’s session and Sunday’s competition to see if she qualifies for the National Championships, which will be held in Fort Worth, Texas, from April 18-20.
