If you’ve watched any Boston Celtics basketball games this year, you know how impactful of a player Al Horford is.
Heck, you know that even if you only started paying attention to the Celtics during the playoffs. Horford bodied up on defense and made life as miserable as possible for Giannis Antetokounmpo during the Bucks-Celtics series and even chipped in a playoff career-high 30 points during those battles.
But Big Al’s impact was not felt in Boston’s Game 1 loss to the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals thanks to landing in the league’s health and safety protocols prior to the series tipoff.
