Al Horford

Just when it seems the Boston Celtics might experience a semblance of what it feels like to be at full strength, a minor-to-major inconvenience strikes. Al Horford entered the NBA’s concussion protocol on Wednesday, prior to the Celtics’ victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. It is unclear when he’ll be returning to the lineup. Here’s [...]

Kyrie Irving is preaching patience on behalf of the Boston Celtics’ Big 3. On paper, the mix of himself, Gordon Hayward and Al Horford is terrifying. All of them can play off the ball, and Irving may be the least talented passer of the bunch—a knock against him, but a compliment to the Celtics’ blend [...]

Would the Boston Celtics have signed Al Horford last summer and then Gordon Hayward this year if Brad Stevens wasn’t their head coach? Probably not. And this answer isn’t purposely incendiary. It basically has Danny Ainge’s stamp of approval. From ESPN.com’s Chris Forsberg: Armed with little more than a MacBook, Stevens has led a series [...]

It’s too bad the Boston Celtics, owners of the No. 1 pick in this year’s draft, cannot just select Markelle Fultz now and plug him into their Eastern Conference Finals matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Actually, as long as they’re wishing for things, it’s too bad they can rent Paul George from the Indiana Pacers [...]

When the Boston Celtics signed Al Horford to a four-year, $113 million contract over the summer, it was considered a no-brainer. Very rarely do you get a chance to add an All-Star in the NBA without coughing up significant assets. They were able to land while sacrificing only cap space (and perhaps Jared Sullinger’s return). [...]

Al Horford has always been among the best passing bigs in the NBA. But he’s taken it to a whole new level this season, his first with the Boston Celtics. While Horford’s scoring and usage are down from last year, his assist percentage has skyrocketed to 24. 2, more than seven point’s higher than his [...]

Al Horford will face the Atlanta Hawks as a member of the Boston Celtics for the first time on Friday night—a game he’s not exactly looking forward to, per Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: [tweet https://twitter.com/CVivlamoreAJC/status/819590446078902272] Horford spent the first nine years of his career with the Hawks before bolting for the Celtics as a [...]

Al Horford, it seems, had a lot on his mind during his foray into 2016 free agency over the summer. The Atlanta Hawks were never really irrelevant in the race for his services, though their acquisition of Dwight Howard essentially sealed his departure, even if they were willing to deal Paul Millsap elsewhere. And it [...]

Those of you who thought the DeMarcus Cousins-to-the-Boston Celtics trade rumors would dissipate with the latter’s acquisition of Al Horford over the summer thought wrong. Per Adam Kaufman of CBS Sports Radio: [tweet https://twitter.com/AdamMKaufman/status/807988625870909440] Kaufman notes that he’s not hearing this from a Sacramento Kings or Celtics source, which is important. Just last week, word [...]

Can you imagine what Al Horford would do as a member of the Houston Rockets, under current head coach Mike D’Antoni? You almost didn’t even have to try. Leading into the Boston Celtics’ Monday night loss to the Houston Rockets, Horford admitted that he would have ended up in Texas if he didn’t sign with [...]
