The Warriors are off to a 4-1 start on the season, even with their new center, Al Horford, playing in only three of those games. The former Boston Celtics big man signed a two-year deal with the Warriors late in the offseason, officially entering what is his 19th season in the league at 39.
Horford is still a productive player at his age, but, as the Celtics know, the Warriors have to manage his playing time if they want him to be at his best when the playoffs roll around. So far, Golden State has eased Horford into things.
