Al Horford Out for Back-to-Back Rest Management Against Suns

Golden State Warriors center Al Horford will miss Monday's game against the Phoenix Suns due to low back injury management on the second night of a back-to-back set. Horford played in Sunday's victory over the Los Angeles Clippers, making his absence expected as part of the team's planned rest strategy to preserve his health. The Warriors continue to carefully manage the veteran big man's workload throughout the early portion of the 2026-27 season.
