“It felt good to get back out there, get my legs back under me and just compete with my teammates,” shared Boston Celtics second-year shooting guard Romeo Langford in what we are guessing is something of an understatement.
Langford had last played for the Celtics during the 2020 NBA Playoffs held in the Orlando-area Disney bubble, on September 17, to be precise. The Indiana native then went more than half a year without setting foot in an NBA game due to a longer-than-anticipated recovery from wrist surgery compounded by a bout with COVID-19. Cleared to return to play last month after recovering from surgery on a tendon torn in those playoffs, Langford found himself a late scratch due to COVID the very day he’d been slated to return.
“I wasn’t too tired, I wasn’t exhausted,” said the former Hoosier of his first stint in live-game action since that September day that feels like a lifetime ago now.
