Boston Celtics guard Romeo Langford, only recently assigned to the Maine Red Claws for the second time this season, has injured his ankle against the Fort Wayne Mad Ants after attempting to block a shot and getting his legs tied up with Mad Ants guard Brian Bowen III just seconds into the second quarter.

Theres been no specific diagnosis on Langfords injury as of yet although the rookie appeared to roll his right ankle. Per an announcement from the Red Claws (h/t MassLives Tom Westerholm), Langford wont return to the game due to his ankle injury.

Langford exited the game with a plus-minus of -1 and missed both shots he took in the seven minutes he played.

Though talented and the situation unfortunate, Langford is quickly earning the label of injury-prone, having sustained a groin injury, spraining a knee and now likely spraining his ankle in the period of two months. These injuries are only setbacks to his development and integration with the team, which is why hes playing in the G League despite being a lottery pick (14th overall).

Looking ahead, theres a possibility that Langford will miss Maines contest against the Raptors 905 on Saturday as well.
