Celtics' Al Horford probable to return after knee injury

Boston Celtics center Al Horford, who has missed seven games with patellofemoral pain syndrome in his left knee, is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets.

On Friday, Celtics coach Brad Stevens said Horford had done more work and was being assessed day-to-day. He was held out of a loss to the Bucks.

Barring any setbacks, Horford should return for Sunday's game and be available for Tuesday's home showdown against Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers.

Boston, which has lost three in a row, struggled without Horford, Aron Baynes and Marcus Morris on Friday.
