The waiting game continues for Al Horford and the Celtics.
The big man is still dealing with the lingering effects of a concussion and said after practice Tuesday that he’s not sure when he might play again.
Horford suffered the concussion when he was accidentally struck by a teammate at practice on Oct. 31. There was a glimmer of hope when he traveled with the team on the two-game trip through Indiana and New Orleans. But on Tuesday, following a light workout, he told reporters that he’s just not ready.
“I’m just not where I want to be right now, but trying to work through it,” Horford said. “This is something very new to me, so it’s just trying to get used to this.”
