Sixers Coach Admits Queta Too Athletic

Sixers head coach Nick Nurse admitted Neemias Queta was too athletic for Philadelphia during Sunday's loss. Queta posted 27 points and 17 rebounds against his former team.

Nick Nurse acknowledged that Queta's speed and athleticism were major factors in the Celtics' 114-98 victory.

"He just seemed a little too quick and athletic for us tonight," Nurse said. Queta has emerged as a key starter after Porzingis and Horford departed, solidifying Boston's dominant big-man rotation.
