The wait is over. Romeo Langford is back.
He was set to return after the All-Star break on March 11th after missing the first half of the season rehabbing from wrist surgery. Unfortunately, a positive COVID test and a bout with the coronavirus delayed his 2020-2021 debut nearly a month. After suffering bad flu-like symptoms for 4 or 5 days, he lost his senses of taste and smell and was forced to not work out for two and a half weeks. He was cleared to play on Friday, but approached Brad Stevens and the staff about pushing back two days to Sunday.
