Carsen Edwards, Tremont Waters combine for 56 points for the Red Claws

Two way guard Tremont Waters and sharpshooting Carsen Edwards torched the Grand Rapid Drive for 56 points combined.

With the highs come the lows, and for the four players playing for the Maine Red Claws on a Boston Celtics contract, there was a little of both on Sunday.

First, the bad news — if you can call the normal off-days of young prospects “bad news”.

In a 108-103 win over the Detroit Pistons’ G League team (the Grand Rapids Drive) fan favorite two way center Tacko Fall had his lowest-scoring game of the season with the Claws, as did Celtics lottery pick Romeo Langford.

Not to worry, though, as most young prospects lay eggs from time to time, and the pair are both recently returned from injuries to their lower extremities, so it could take time for both to get their sea legs back.

Langford logged precisely zero points, his shooting touch evidently back in Boston while he went 0-for-5 from the floor.

But he did help out his teammates with 3 boards, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks over 19 minutes, a good sign for a young player to be aware of and engaged in the little things that can help a team win even if you’re ice cold on the night.

Fall scored 6 points and 4 rebounds with his own pair of blocks, shooting an inefficient 2-of-5 from the floor.

The Senegalese center still managed to make life difficult in the lane for opponents during his 21 minutes of gametime, per WEEI’s Nick Friar.

Now, the good news.

Boston’s future backcourt lit up the Drive for 56 points combined, with two way floor general Tremont Waters dropping 28 points and five boards on the Drive.

At the same time, rookie sharpshooter Carsen Edwards hit Grand Rapids with 28 points of his own, hitting 50 % from deep and inside the arc, going 9-for-18 on the night.

The Purdue product joins Langford in getting some reps with the Red Claws while the parent club is resting, as the latter has had struggles hitting with the Celtics.

The former is just getting back to healthy after a season mostly spent recovering from a litany of minor injuries.

Claws forward Kaiser Gates also deserves a mention for his 21 points and 10 boards, which helped secure the win for the 9-4 Red Claws, currently in second place in the league’s East standings.

The Red Claws next face the Canton Charge in Las Vegas ahead of the G League showcase, after which Celtic’s favorite 7-foot-5 center will make the trip back to Boston to conduct the Pops.

Langford may rejoin the team ahead of their Dec. 18 meeting with the Dallas Mavericks if needed, but will likely continue training with the Red Claws for some time to get the reps he needs for development.

No word on Edwards’ plans with either team, but he may rejoin the Celtics as well vs. the Mavs.

Waters will almost certainly remain with Portland for the near-term barring injury on the parent club.
