On Sunday afternoon, the Celtics will host the Minnesota Timberwolves in Boston.

For the game, the Celtics could remain without one of their best players, as Al Horford is on the injury report.

Horford also missed the team's last game, so this would be his second straight out of action (if he doesn't play).

Via The Boston Celtics on Saturday: "Injury Report for tomorrow vs. Minnesota:

Al Horford (illness, non-Covid) - QUESTIONABLE
Kristaps Porzingis (left posterior tibialis tendon surgery rehabilitation) - OUT"

Horford is averaging 10.2 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists per contest while shooting 51.6% from the field and 47.7% from the three-point range in 13 games.

At 38, he is still a very productive role player.
