If nothing out of left discipline finally ends up taking place earlier than this coming Friday night, we might but see second-year taking pictures guard Romeo Langford make his season debut. Sadly for Langford nonetheless, the Indiana native has made a reputation for himself as a result of of issues popping out of left discipline to have an effect on his availability.

It’s no fault of Langford’s that he has but to play this season, having taken longer than anticipated to recuperate from surgical procedure on a torn tendon in his wrist sustained within the Disney bubble whereas taking part in for the crew within the 2020 NBA playoffs, solely to be compelled into the league’s well being and security protocols the very day he hoped to get on the ground to play his first recreation of the 2020-21 season.

It’s gotten to the purpose the place web humorists have began questioning whether or not the Indiana product even exists.

However Langford does certainly inhabit an area on Boston’s roster — although as of right now he has cleared the crew’s every day damage report for the second time this season, maybe signaling a return to motion is imminent. He’s joined in liberation from damage purgatory by a short-timer who ended up there unexpectedly forward of yesterday’s contest with the Dallas Mavericks — rising massive man Robert Williams III. https://twitter.com/TheCelticsWire/standing/1377707659898552330?s=20

With the Celtics reeling within the standings with the NBA’s highest variety of NBA video games misplaced to gamers within the protocol, the return for each will probably be large. For now at the least, each ahead Semi Ojeleye (left facet pressure) and middle Tristan Thompson (well being and security protocols) are listed as out for Friday’s tilt with the Rockets, although the latter is because of return quickly in response to head coach Brad Stevens.
