Scotto says in the article that Morgan will "compete for a spot in training camp with the Celtics."

Morgan has spent the last two seasons in Utah with the Jazz. After going undrafted in 2019, he played 21 regular-season games during his rookie season in Utah and averaged 1.7 points and 1.4 rebounds in 6.4 minutes per game.

He also started for the Jazz in the first two playoffs games in the NBA's bubble in Disney World in 2020.

This past season, he played 29 games for the Jazz and averaged 1.2 points and 1.0 rebounds in 5.1 minutes per game.

As for Langford, he has yet to play an entire season in the NBA. He played in 32 games in his rookie season and 18 games this past year after a second surgery on his wrist.

He has shown flashes of brilliance on defense and had 17 points in a playoff game against the Brooklyn Nets this season.

If Morgan can make the Celtics roster, it will be nice to see the two former faces of the Hoosiers back together on one of the most notable NBA teams.
