Al Horford (sciatica) finished Thursday's loss to the 76ers with three points (1-of-8 FGs), six rebounds, four assists, one steal and one three-pointer.Thursday's game was the first for Horford since November 21, so, understandably, he was a bit rusty. The veteran center, who received the starting nod, shot 1-of-7 from beyond the arc in Philadelphia, missing seven straight after making his first attempt. With Draymond Green (foot) exiting at halftime and Jimmy Butler (knee) already out, the Warriors can use a healthy Horford. Unfortunately, they'll end Week 7 with a back-to-back, so he'll sit on either Saturday or Sunday.
Al Horford: Starting ThursdayHorford is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the 76ers.
Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody, Will Richard, Draymond Green and Al Horford will start Thursday's game against the 76ers.Appearing in a game for the first time since November 21, Horford is part of the Warriors' starting lineup, filling the void left by the injured Jimmy Butler III. With the 39-year-old returning from sciatica, his minutes are likely to be restricted, meaning a slight bump may be in the cards for Quinten Post.
Al Horford (sciatica) is available for Thursday's game against the 76ers.Horford is available to make his first appearance since November 21 against the Trail Blazers. He'll give the Warriors another option to call upon in the frontcourt, but the days when the veteran center was a lock to provide reliable production may be in the rear-view mirror.
Quinten Post (ankle) is questionable to play against the 76ers on Thursday.Post has been a solid backup center this year, but with Draymond Green healthy, he won't have much upside as a streamer regardless of his status. If he is unavailable, Al Horford will fill the backup center minutes, and Trayce Jackson-Davis should return to the rotation, though all three players are currently questionable.
