Warriors' Al Horford: Dealing with undisclosed injury
Rotowire
Horford was not available for the fourth quarter of Friday's 127-123 loss to the Trail Blazers due to an undisclosed injury, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.
Horford ended his evening with seven points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block and one turnover across 18 minutes. The Warriors are off until Monday, so we likely won't get another update on Horford until Sunday's injury report is released.

Warriors' Al Horford: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Horford (toe) is not on the injury report for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Horford didn't play in Wednesday's loss to the Heat since it was the second leg of a back-to-back set. He's been nursing a minor left toe injury, but he shouldn't have problems suiting up Friday. Horford has been a regular contributor off the bench this season, averaging 5.7 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game in 11 contests, but those numbers don't provide a lot of fantasy upside.

Warriors' Al Horford: Out Wednesday
Rotowire
Horford has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Heat due to left toe injury management.
As expected, Horford will sit for the second night of Golden State's back-to-back set after posting nine points (2-6 FG), six rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block in 27 minutes during a 121-113 loss in Orlando on Tuesday. Horford should be back in action Friday against Portland, while Quinten Post and Trayce Jackson-Davis are candidates for increased roles Wednesday.

Warriors' Al Horford: Drains four threes off bench
Rotowire
Horford finished with 12 points (4-6 FG, 4-6 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and three blocks over 18 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 114-83 win over Indiana.
It was an impressive shooting performance from the 39-year-old, who sat out Friday's loss to the Nuggets due to a foot injury, and the three rejections were also a season high. Horford has yet to start a game for the Warriors, coming off the bench in all seven of his appearances, but once the team is comfortable with his fitness level, he could join Quinten Post and Moses Moody among the players rotating into the starting five next to Draymond Green.

Warriors' Al Horford: Questionable to play Sunday
Rotowire
Horford (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

Warriors' Al Horford: Downgraded to questionable
Rotowire
Horford (foot) is questionable for Friday's game against the Nuggets.
Friday is neither the first nor second leg of a back-to-back for the Warriors, so Horford's addition to the injury report is not a great sign. Draymond Green (ribs), who's expected to play, would likely handle the bulk of the center minutes if Horford is out, while Quinten Post would figure to continue serving as the nominal starter in the middle.

Warriors' Al Horford: Fails to score in loss
Rotowire
Horford recorded zero points (0-8 FG, 0-7 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 121-116 loss to Sacramento.
Horford was a disaster on the offensive end, missing all seven of his shot attempts. It's been a slow start to his career in Golden State, averaging just 4.5 points and 4.5 rebounds in 22.0 minutes per game. He has already missed three games, a trend that could certainly continue. There is no reason to have him on a fantasy roster at this point, even in deeper leagues.

Warriors' Al Horford: Held to three points in loss
Rotowire
Horford registered three points (1-6), two rebounds, two assists, one three-pointer, two blocks and two turnovers in 20 minutes during Thursday's 120-110 loss to Milwaukee.
Horford has been in an awful rut over the past two games, going just 2-11 and 1-7 from distance, but at least he was able to block some shots Thursday night. Still, with averages of 5.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and not much else on the year, he's not worth rostering anywhere.

Rotowire
Horford notched five points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist over 20 minutes during Tuesday's 119-109 win over the Lakers.
