Al Horford had a relatively quiet outing in the Golden State Warriors<\/a>\u2019 last game. The five-time All-Star got the start, but managed just four points, five rebounds, four assists and a block across 29 minutes of action.<\/p>\n

Horford\u2019s efforts were far from enough to help lift the Warriors against the Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a>. The defending champs secured a 104-97 win at home, improving to 50-15.<\/p>\n

The Warriors, on the other hand, dropped to 32-31. As of writing, Golden State remains eighth in the Western Conference. The ninth-seeded Los Angeles Clippers<\/a> are breathing down their necks and are currently just one game behind the Warriors.<\/p>\n

Golden State is back in action on Monday night. They play in the final contest of their current three-game road trip as they face the Utah Jazz<\/a> at Delta Center.<\/p>\n

The Warriors have already submitted their injury report<\/a> for the Jazz game, which will be the first night of a back-to-back set. Horford has been added to the injury list. The Warriors announced that the 39-year-old will not play due to left toe injury management.<\/p>\n

It does not sound like Horford has sustained a new injury. His absence from Monday\u2019s game appears to be for rest, as the tested veteran continues to navigate his 19th season in the NBA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Horford has played in just 41 out of Golden State\u2019s 63 games this season. The 6-foot-8 center is averaging 8.3 points on 43.4% shooting, 5.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.6 triples in 21.8 minutes per game.<\/p>\n

Barring any unforeseen setbacks, Horford should be back in the mix for the Warriors on Tuesday against the Chicago Bulls<\/a>.<\/p>\n
