Neemias Queta will be returning to the Sacramento Kings on a two-way contract for his second season, the team announced on Saturday. Joining him in the organization’s other two-way slot will be undrafted rookie guard Keon Ellis.

As for Queta, this news has been somewhat expected since he was named to the Kings’ Summer League roster, but stands as a notable development nonetheless. Queta averaged 3.2 points and 2.2 rebounds in his 14 games for the Kings last season, becoming the first Portuguese-born player to log minutes in an NBA game in December.

In an appearance on the “Deuce & Mo” podcast after the season, he promised big things for his sophomore season.

“I think I’ll be making big strides this year,” Queta said.

Now we know those hoped-for strides will come with the Kings moving forward.
