This marks the fourth NBA organization Queen has been associated with after going undrafted in the 2020 NBA Draft. Queen played in two preseason games with the Houston Rockets in 2020 before signing with the organization's G League affiliate Rio Grande Vipers in February 2021. He signed a NBA Summer League contract with the Lakers in 2021 before signing another two-way deal with the Rockets last season, when he won the NBA G League MVP award.

Queen signed with the 76ers during Summer 2022 before being waived. He'll likely spend time with Indiana's G League affiliate Fort Wayne Mad Ants.
