Yahoo! Sports reporter Chris Haynes announced — and the Boston Celtics have confirmed — just hours before the 2022 NBA deadline that former New Albany star Romeo Langford will be a San Antonio Spur.

Langford is headed southwest, along with Jason Richardson, in a deal that will bring Derrick White to Boston. The Spurs also received a Celtics’ first-round draft pick (top-4 protected) in the deal.

Langford, who played one season at Indiana University, is averaging 4.7 points and 2.4 rebounds in 44 games this season, but his role had diminished in recent weeks in Boston.

White, a 27-year-old out of Colorado, is averaging a career-best 14.4 points, 5.6 assists and 3.5 rebounds. Richardson, 41, is averaging 9.1 points in his 13th NBA season.

UPDATED Trade Summary:

Spurs Receive: G/F Josh Richardson, G Romeo Langford, BOS 2022 1st Round Pick (Top-4 Protected), Option to swap first-round picks with BOS in 2028

Celtics Receive: G Derrick White
