Al Horford

Horford has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Cleveland due to right sciatic nerve irritation.

Horford had three points in 18 minutes in Thursday's loss to the 76ers. It was the first game action for the 39-year-old power forward since November 21. Horford will sit out Saturday's game against the Cavaliers, but should be available for the second game of the back-to-back against the Bulls on Sunday.

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.

Horford is in the starting lineup for 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.
