I am not going to lie to you," Queen said postgame on Monday. "My first career NBA start, Five years in the G League. It's a blessing to have this opportunity, especially against the Celtics. That is my childhood team. I grew up a Celtics fan so just being out there, playing against them was a surreal moment for me."
