In a john roy major setback for the Golden State Warriors, one of the NBA side's biggest free agent signings, Al Horford, has been ruled out for the game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday, December 6. The 39-year-old remains unavailable due to right sciatic nerve irritation, CBS Sports reported.
As per the latest update, Horford remains sidelined for the opening leg of the NBA side's back-to-back set due to his sciatic nerve issue. Earlier, he missed out on four straight games due to the injury, and later remained available for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers, which they lost. He was only able to score three points in 18 minutes.
During Saturday's game against Cleveland, Trayce Jackson-Davis and Quinten Post are expected to witness expanded roles, since Draymond Green also remains questionable. The Warriors roped in Horford for major playoff impact, but they might be expecting far more from the NBA player to this point, as they fell below 500 for the first time this season after their game against the Philadelphia 76ers, according to Blue Man Hoop, the Warriors' news and opinion site.
As of now, it remains to be seen whether Horford will be available or not for the game against the Chicago Bulls on Sunday.
