Forward Al Horford has been dealing with patellar tendinitis, Celtics coach Brad Stevens shared before Monday night’s game against the Pelicans.
“We’re going to see how this goes,” Stevens told reporters. “He’s day-to-day right now, but we may go slowly with him.”
Horford, who had been popping up on the injury report with left knee soreness, said he’s been mitigating the inflammation for “probably like a month now.” He admitted he’s “not where [he needs] to be yet” and, though the competitor in him wants to get back on the floor as soon as possible, he plans to take a more cautious approach.
