Al Horford (back) won't play Saturday for Boston
Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford will not play Saturday in the team's game against the Detroit Pistons.
What It Means:
Horford is dealing with lower back stiffness, and as a result, the team has listed him out for Saturday's contest. It's the second week in a row that he has sat out the second leg of a back-to-back set due to a back ailment. For now, expect more work for Noah Vonleh and Blake Griffin.
In 10 games this season, Horford is averaging 11.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 24.3 FanDuel points.
