Al Horford

PF, Philadelphia Sixers

Al Horford (left knee soreness) has been ruled out of Thursday's game.

Joel Embiid is back in action so the Sixers won't need to push Horford through as many nicks and bumps, especially against teams like the woeful Hawks. Horford has turned it around of late after a slump a couple weeks ago and the only concern we have with him is rest days down the stretch. Just keep your fingers crossed that the pack from 2-6 in the East stays tight.
