The Golden State Warriors have had a problem trying to find a rhythm for Al Horford this season, with the potential of that only getting worse if LeBron James is any example for the sort of recovery period to overcome sciatic irritation.
Horford is likely to miss a fourth-straight game when the Warriors host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night, having been listed as doubtful in a matchup where superstar guard Stephen Curry is already a confirmed out with his current quad injury.
Warriors will have to continue managing Al Horford amid sciatic injury
The fact Horford has been slightly upgraded from 'out' to 'doubtful' is a positive, but Golden State will have to continue being careful with the 39-year-old who has only appeared in 12 games this season after being the franchise's big free agency coup during the summer.
