Celtics say Horford will try to play vs. Pacers

Boston Celtics big man Al Horford, who is listed as questionable with an illness, will try to play in Wednesday night's first-round playoff game against the Indiana Pacers.

"He's going to try to give it a go," Celtics coach Brad Stevens said. "He'll go through warm-ups and we'll try to figure it out."

Stevens said Horford told the team he felt sick Tuesday night. The coach said they were worried it was a 24- to 48-hour thing, but Horford said Wednesday morning he was feeling better.

He was not at shootaround, but arrived Wednesday night determined to play in Game 2 of the series at TD Garden.
