The Boston Celtics previously had ruled Jaylen Brown out of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers, but revealed three hours before tip off that Romeo Langford will be available.
Langford had been dealing with an ankle injury he suffered against the Utah Jazz on Friday night.
Brown is out as he continues to deal with a right hamstring injury. He last played Dec. 1. Bruno Fernando (low back spasms) and Jabari Parker (non-COVID illness) also will miss Tuesday's game.
Lakers star Carmelo Anthony was upgraded to available after previously being listed as questionable with a non-COVID illness of his own.
The 13-11 Celtics and 12-12 Lakers will get underway at 10:30 p.m. ET.
