Can the Boston Celtics actually survive without Neemias Queta?

Can the Boston Celtics actually survive without starting center Neemias Queta? Such a question would have been easy to answer in the affirmative for all of Queta’s tenure with the Celtics until this season, when the Portuguese big man was given the keys to Boston’s frontcourt after the exits of Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford, and Luke Kornet via trades and free agency this past offseason.
Now, the Celtics are staring down one of the toughest remaining stretches of their 2025-26 NBA regular season schedule without the Lisbon native able to play after Queta sprained his ankle early in Boston’s win over the Orlando Magic this week. Can the Celtics weather the storm ahead without Queta on the court?
