The first game of the Portuguese Basketball League final is underway this Sunday, with Benfica hosting FC Porto at Pavilion No. 1 of the Estádio da Luz. Among the spectators are two prominent figures from the global basketball scene: Neemias Queta, center for the Boston Celtics, and Joe Mazzulla, head coach of the NBA team and recognized as the 2025/26 NBA Coach of the Year.
Both Queta and Mazzulla garnered significant attention from fans near the presidential box, particularly the Portuguese international, who was part of the 2024 NBA championship team. It's worth noting that last Friday, the third edition of the Neemias Queta Training Camp was confirmed, set to take place in Carcavelos next month. Benfica had previously presented both the player and the coach with club jerseys.
