Al Horford
Celtics
Injury
Al Horford is sidelined with a foot injury and will not play against the Nuggets on Friday, leaving the Warriors with a less experienced frontcourt to contend with Nikola Jokic. Horford’s prior contributions against Denver, including a season-high 29 minutes, will be missed. In his absence, Trayce Jackson-Davis is expected to gain more playing time as a key backup center, stepping in to support Quinten Post in the lineup.
