The Boston Celtics have been battling injuries and COVID-19 all year, but it finally seems the team is getting closer to full health.
Romeo Langford has yet to play a game for Boston due to his offseason wrist surgery. Payton Pritchard, meanwhile, is recovering from a Grade I MCL sprain in his right knee.
Head coach Brad Stevens provided updates on the duo Friday during his media availability.
“Both are doing a little bit more. Payton’s a lot closer than Romeo,” he told reporters. “But I don’t know what that means.”
Pritchard’s original timeline was at least two weeks, and reportedly could return as early as the Celtics’ Feb. 3 game against the Sacramento Kings.
Langford’s timeline always has been unknown, but getting both back into the lineup certainly will be beneficial to Boston.
