The Boston Celtics have assigned rookies Romeo Langford and Carsen Edwards to the Maine Red Claws of the G League, the team announced Thursday morning.
Langford, the 14th overall pick, has not appeared in a game since Dec. 1 when he re-injured his right ankle on assignment with the Red Claws. He logged 18 minutes in that game before exiting in the fourth quarter after rolling it.
Langford has been with the Celtics rehabbing since suffering the injury and recently began to practice with the team. He was activated on Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers but did not play as he made his return to his home state.
The former Indiana guard has dealt with his fair share of injuries this year. He did not play in Summer League after recovering from offseason thumb surgery and he also suffered a knee sprain and a groin injury to go along with his sprained ankle.
Langford has three appearances in the G League this season but left one of those games after just seven minutes when he initially rolled his right ankle. He recorded 27 points in his G League debut on Nov. 9.

Meanwhile, the stint in the G League for Edwards will be his second of the season after practicing with the Red Claws last month. The second-round pick has not seen much playing time with the Celtics as of late and the team likely wants him to get some work in as the Red Claws play on Friday night.
In 21 games, Edwards is averaging 3.9 points and 1.7 rebounds for the Celtics. His best performance came on Nov. 13 when he recorded a career-high 18 points in 20 minutes of work.
