Celtics tender qualifying offers to Drew Peterson and Neemias Queta, JD Davison set to become unrestricted free agent

On the eve of free agency, the Celtics gave themselves more flexibility heading into the offseason. After not picking up a team option on Neemias Queta, they did extend him a qualifying offer per former CelticsBlogger and Spotrac’s Keith Smith. That allows Boston to match any offers on the promising center.

The Celtics also did the same with Drew Peterson who spent most of his time in Maine last season. Peterson averaged 16.1 points with Boston’s G League affiliate and shot nearly 37% from behind the arc.

Both Queta and Peterson are eligible for another season on two-way deals.

JD Davison, who was drafted #53 by the Celtics in 2022 and has spent the last two years on two-ways, was not tendered a qualifying offer. However, per Smith, there is interest in Davison returning for a third developmental season in Maine. He raised his scoring average from 12.5 to 20.8 points and been an assist machine with nearly nine per game over his last two years.

Anton Watson, Boston’s 54th selection in the 2024 NBA Draft, is expected to join the team on one of the Celtics’ three two-way slots.
