Al Horford has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls.

Fantasy Impact

Horford will be sidelined again on Sunday after missing Saturday’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. With him out, Quinten Post and Trayce Jackson-Davis could see an increase in minutes.

Right sciatic nerve irritation will force Al Horford to the sidelines for Saturday's matchup against Cleveland. The veteran center had just returned to the rotation on Thursday against Philadelphia after a four-game absence caused by the same issue.

Fantasy Impact

His absence for the opening leg of the back-to-back set puts pressure on the Warriors' frontcourt depth, especially with Draymond Green (foot) listed as questionable. If Green is also unable to go or limited, Trayce Jackson-Davis and Quinten Post would likely be called upon to handle expanded roles.

Rust was evident for Al Horford in his return to the court on Thursday, as he connected on just 1-of-8 field goal attempts in a loss to the 76ers. Making his first appearance since November 21 due to sciatica, the veteran big man finished with three points, six rebounds, four assists, and one steal. His perimeter shot was particularly cold, as he missed seven consecutive triples after burying his first attempt.

Fantasy Impact

Horford's presence remains crucial for a depleted Golden State frontcourt that saw Draymond Green (foot) exit early and was already missing Jimmy Butler (knee). However, fantasy managers should anticipate a scheduled absence this weekend. With the Warriors facing a back-to-back set on Saturday and Sunday, the team will almost certainly rest the veteran for one of those contests to manage his workload.
