If the Celtics play the Raptors in the first round of the NBA playoffs, they’ll have one less player to worry about not being available in the series.
Forward/center Al Horford is fully vaccinated against COVID-19, he told The Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach on Friday. Horford missed the Celtics’ previous game in Toronto on March 28 due to personal reasons. Since Jan. 15, players who aren’t fully vaccinated against COVID-19 haven’t been able to play games in Toronto due to Canada’s mandate. So, Horford’s absence from that March loss led some to question if he was fully vaccinated.
