Following his cameo against the Bucks, Romeo has had a myriad of injuries and split his time between the Red Claws and Celtics until mid-December. Romeo has gone on to play 24 games for Boston out of a possible 37, eating into the minutes which were previously filled by fellow rookie Javonte Green. Romeo had the unenviable task of slowing down LeBron for 1:17 minutes of gameplay along with a further five partial plays, holding LeBron to 1-of-2 shooting and one assist.
Those numbers indicate Romeo’s impact playing within the system.
