Al Horford News, Rumors, Updates - Boston Celtics

Out for regular-season finale Horford is out for Sunday's game against the Hornets due to a right knee sprain.

Impact The Celtics will rest all of their top players for the regular-season finale, meaning Boston will give extended minutes to non-regulars for this matchup versus Charlotte. Horford will have almost a full week of rest before the Celtics start their playoff run on April 19 against a to-be-determined opponent. This means Luke Kornet and Neemias Queta are likely to handle an expanded role in the frontcourt Sunday.
