Horford provided 20 points (7-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 120-117 win over the Cavaliers. It was a season high in scoring for the 38-year-old big, and Horford continues to give the Celtics reliable minutes in the frontcourt. He's drained multiple three-pointers in six straight starts, averaging 13.0 points, 6.5 boards, 3.0 threes, 2.0 assists and 1.0 blocks over that stretch while shooting 50.9 percent from the floor and 45.0 percent (18-for-40) from beyond the arc.

Horford provided 20 points (7-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 120-117 win over the Cavaliers. It was a season high in scoring for the 38-year-old big, and Horford continues to give the Celtics reliable minutes in the frontcourt. He's drained multiple three-pointers in six straight starts, averaging 13.0 points, 6.5 boards, 3.0 threes, 2.0 assists and 1.0 blocks over that stretch while shooting 50.9 percent from the floor and 45.0 percent (18-for-40) from beyond the arc.
Horford produced 18 points (6-11 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 32 minutes during Saturday's 126-123 overtime win over Toronto. Horford returned to the starting lineup Saturday after sitting Wednesday against the Nets due to rest and a left big toe sprain. The veteran big man isn't a focal point in the Celtics' offense, but with the Raptors' defense honed in on Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, Horford saw plenty of open looks from beyond the arc and tied a season high with five three-pointers. Horford is averaging 9.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals over 27.0 minutes per game.
Horford (toe) is not on the injury report and will be available for Saturday's game against the Raptors, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports. Even though Horford missed Wednesday's game against the Nets due to what was listed as a toe injury, it was essentially a rest day for the veteran. As such, his return here shouldn't be surprising. Look for Horford to recover his regular starting role while handling his regular workload Saturday against Toronto. This means the likes of Neemias Queta and Luke Kornet should experience a reduction in their minutes.
Horford (rest) will not play Wednesday against the Nets, Marc D'Amico of the Celtics' official site reports. This was an expected move, as the Celtics are going to exercise caution on the second leg of this back-to-back set. With Horford sidelined, it's likely that Neemias Queta picks up the bulk of the center minutes with Luke Kornet stepping up as well.
Horford closed Tuesday's 117-116 loss to the Hawks with eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists over 26 minutes. Horford offered very little in terms of tangible production, playing through a toe injury on the first night of a back-to-back set. Given what we know about how the Celtics intend to utilize the veteran, there is a very real chance we see him in street clothes when they face the Nets on Wednesday. While Horford is a key piece for Boston, his role will reduce at some point, when the injured Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) returns to the lineup.
Horford (toe) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Hawks, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports. Horford has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with a left big toe sprain. The veteran big man is averaging 8.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.2 steals in 28.4 minutes across his last five appearances. While Horford will be available Tuesday, he's expected to be sidelined for the second night of Boston's back-to-back set Wednesday in Brooklyn.
Horford is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Hawks due to a left big toe sprain, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports. Tuesday is the first half of a back-to-back set, and Horford is expected to miss at least one of those games. When he's sidelined, Neemias Queta, Luke Kornet and Xavier Tillman are candidates for increased roles.
Horford tallied 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-9 3Pt), 10 rebounds, one steal and one block over 31 minutes in Friday's 108-104 overtime win over the Nets. Horford saw extended playing time Friday as Luke Kornet was sidelined due to a left hamstring injury. Horford managed to reach double-digit scoring for the fifth time this season while logging his first double-double of the 2024-25 campaign. The 18-year NBA veteran won't be leaned on heavily in the Celtics' offense, but Horford will have nights where he can turn back the clock and supply some production in his shooting and rebounding.
Horford (rest) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game versus the Hornets, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports. Horford will return to action Saturday after sitting out the first leg of Boston's back-to-back for rest purposes. The veteran big man will re-enter the starting lineup with Jaylen Brown (hip) out.
