Al Horford Returns to Starting Lineup Thursday, Expected Increased Role Amidst Key Absences

Al Horford is set to return to the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the 76ers, ending a four-game absence. With key Golden State Warriors players Stephen Curry (quad) and Jimmy Butler (knee) unavailable, Horford is expected to take on a more significant role in the offense. He will join Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody, Will Richard, and Draymond Green in the first unit.
