The Utah Jazz have announced that the team has waived guard/forward Romeo Langford. The former lottery pick was cut loose ahead of the new season, along with guard Michael Devoe and forward Keshawn Justice. Langford had a few impressive outings with San Antonio last season and was signed to an Exhibit 10 contract by the Jazz on Aug. 30. He has 141 games of NBA experience under his belt, with career averages of 4.6 points and 2.1 rebounds. Langford is now free to sign with any team, but he's expected to start the season with Utah's G League affiliate, the Salt Lake City Stars.
San Antonio Spurs guard Romeo Langford did not receive a qualifying offer from the organization on Thursday. That means, Langford is set to become an unrestricted free agent on Friday. It's a bit surprising that the Spurs didn't want to bring back Langford for another season. He averaged 6.9 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 19.7 minutes across 43 games last season with the Spurs. The 23-year-old isn't a superstar, but he's young and could be a decent contributor. It'll be interesting to see what kind of market he has in free agency.
San Antonio Spurs guard Romeo Langford (groin) is available for Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. This is great news after Langford missed the last 16 games due to left groin soreness. He is averaging career highs with 7.4 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists across 20.3 minutes this season. There is no word on whether or not he'll face a minutes limit during his first game back. Devonte' Graham and Malaki Branham (back) are expected to have fewer minutes once Langford is back up to full speed.
San Antonio Spurs guard Romeo Langford (groin) won't suit up on Saturday versus the Utah Jazz. Langford hasn't played in over a month because of adductor soreness, and there hasn't been a clear update on how much longer he'll be out. However, Malaki Branham, who scored a team-high 23 points against the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday, has done an admirable job filling in, giving him plenty of upside on the fantasy end.
Romeo Langford Questionable For Wednesday's Action
San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Romeo Langford (groin) could miss a fifth consecutive game Wednesday against the Kings, with the team listing him as questionable. Langford had just gained some momentum with 10 consecutive starts before dropping out of the lineup early last week. His minutes have been all over the place throughout the season and Langford hasn't played a very large role for the team. Keita Bates-Diop looks set to remain in the starting unit if Langford can't make his return Wednesday. The 27-year-old has managed 11.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 16 total starts this season.
San Antonio Spurs guard Romeo Langford (groin) has been downgraded to out for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. The 23-year-old will miss his third game in a row due to left groin tightness. His absence will mean another start for Keita Bates-Diop. Over the last two games, Bates-Diop is averaging 13.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists. He'll be a decent streaming option while he's in the starting five. Although, that might only be for another game or two.
San Antonio Spurs guard Romeo Langford (groin) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It appears the 23-year-old will miss another game due to groin tightness. His absence will mean that Keita Bates-Diop should remain in the starting five. It's unlikely that a move to the starting unit is going to help Bates-Diop. He has ranked outside the top-200 in 9-cat formats over the last two weeks. There should be better streaming options available for Saturday's slate.
San Antonio Spurs guard Romeo Langford (groin) has been ruled out Wednesday against the Los Angeles Lakers. Langford was originally questionable to play but kept trending in the wrong direction before being ruled out. Langford had started the past two games without Devin Vassell (knee), but his role will likely go to a mix of Josh Richardson, Doug McDermott and Stanley Johnson.
San Antonio Spurs guard Romeo Langford will move into the starting five for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. He's back in the starting five with Devin Vassell (hamstring) on the sideline. Langford torched the Knicks for a career-high 23 points back in late December. Possibly, he'll be able to post similar results on Wednesday. Langford is looking like a favorable streaming option for Wednesday's slate.
San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Romeo Langford (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's meeting with Miami. He has suffered a left ankle sprain and the injury already forced Langford to sit out Wednesday's matchup against Portland. Langford was able to get through Friday's practice, which is an encouraging sign, but it's still unclear if he's game-ready as well. The 23-year-old has recently made good use of multiple lineup issues, earning extended minutes and putting together solid lines. Langford could have a significant role to play on Saturday again, with Josh Richardson (personal) missing the game.
