Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla has expressed doubt regarding veteran center Al Horford’s availability for tomorrow’s highly anticipated matchup. Sources close to the Celtics report that Horford, who has been managing lingering soreness, may sit out to prioritize long-term fitness. Despite optimism earlier in the week, Mazzulla acknowledged the need for caution, especially early in the season, hinting that the team will err on the side of rest.
This setback could impact the Celtics’ depth and defensive versatility, as Horford’s experience and leadership have proven vital. The team may look to lean on frontcourt players like Kristaps Porziņģis and Robert Williams III to cover the void left by Horford’s potential absence. Fans will await final updates as the Celtics aim to maintain a strong start to their season.
