Romeo Langford not cleared for full contact for start of Summer League practice

No compatible source was found for this media.

Celtics rookie, Romeo Langford is still recovering from a torn thumb ligament in his shooting hand that required surgery in April. It appears that he will not be cleared for full contact, and therefore will not be participating in Summer League practice next week.

Langford suffered the injury early in Indiana's 2018-19 season, but he toughed it out, playing through the injury prior to surgery at the end of the season (per NESN.Com's Michael McMahon):

“I didn’t want to let my team down,” Langford said via The Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach.
