The Boston Celtics have had players suiting up in a total of 68 different jersey numbers (and have three others not part of any numerical series) since their founding at the dawn of the Basketball Association of America (BAA — the league that would become today’s NBA), worn by well over 500 players in the course of Celtics history.
To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Celtics Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team.
With 25 of those jerseys now retired to honor some of the greatest Celtics to wear those jerseys, there is a lot of history to cover.
And for today’s article, we will continue with the 11th of 13 people to wear the No. 45, Boston wing alum Romeo Langford. After ending his college career at Indiana, Langford was picked up with the 14th overall selection of the 2019 NBA Draft by the Celtics.
The New Albany, Indiana native played parts of the first three seasons of his pro career with Boston, coming to an end when he was dealt to the San Antonio Spurs in 2022.
During his time suiting up for the Celtics, wore only jersey Nos. 45 and 9 and put up 3.6 points and 1.9 rebounds per game.
