Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford will not play Saturday in the team's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Horford played in Friday's loss to Utah, seemingly without issue. He logged 34 minutes. However, he has been ruled out for Saturday's tilt due to lower back stiffness. Grant Williams could be elevated to the starting lineup alongside Robert Williams down low.
In 19 games this season, Horford has averaged 12.4 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.8 blocks and 34.2 FanDuel points.
