Al Horford (back) ruled out for Celtics Saturday night
Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford will not play Saturday in the team's game against the New York Knicks.
What It Means:
Horford is dealing with lower back stiffness. As a result, the team has ruled him out of action for the second leg of the back-to-back set this weekend. Expect Noah Vonleh and Blake Griffin to see added minutes.
In 7 games this season, Horford is averaging 9.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 21.0 FanDuel points.
