Al Horford Cleared To Play Thursday In Los Angeles
2 hours agoBoston Celtics center Al Horford (toe) missed two of the last three games while battling a toe injury, but the veteran big man will be able to play on Thursday as the Celtics visit the Lakers to continue their classic rivalry. Horford has had a reduced role this year, especially since the return of Kristaps Porzingis. Horford has played just 24 minutes per game in his last seven games and chipped in 6.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 0.7 steals per game over that span. He is still a key voice for the team and a key contributor off the bench even though his numbers are a little down. He and Porzingis will both be back in action on Thursday after sitting Wednesday, and the two should take up most of the usage and minutes in the frontcourt, squeezing out Luke Kornet and Neemias Queta, who played big minutes on Wednesday
