Al Horford Wants To Continue Playing Basketball

According to the man himself, Al Horford wants to continue playing basketball in the National Basketball Association. Something that was on everyone’s mind after seeing him win his first career championship Monday night.

When asked how many more years he wanted to play, the 38-year-old never committed to a set number. Horford says as long as he’s healthy and still enjoying it, he will continue playing.

“For me, I never really put a timeframe on it,” Horford told ESPN. “I want to make sure that I feel healthy, that I’m enjoying what I’m doing and for me, thankfully, I have my wife’s support and my family’s. That’s a big deal to me. … I feel like I’ve been asked this for a few years now and I feel good, I want to keep playing. Why not keep going? I don’t want to limit myself.”

He has one year left on his contract with the Boston Celtics.

According to Jake Fischer, the Golden State Warriors and former Boston Celtics player Al Horford are close on a contract agreement. However, the Jonathan Kuminga situation is stalling those talks as he wants them to resolve that issue first.

Once the Kuminga issue is dealt with, Horford is expected to sign a two-year, over $11 million deal with the Warriors. He would use the full taxpayer midlevel exception for this upcoming season, which would land him $5.685 million for 2025-26.

The second season would be a player option, as the Warriors are hoping this type of contract is to his liking. Golden State highly values his ability to stretch the floor and being able to switch on defense, especially around the center position.

Al Horford Weighing His Options Of Either Playing Another Season Or Retiring

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Al Horford is currently weighing all his options for his future in the National Basketball Association.

Right now, the veteran is picking him playing with the Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, and retirement. Currently, the Warriors are the favored team to land Horford.

“I’m told he is reviewing multiple options including the Warriors, the Lakers, but also retirement,” said Shams Charania on a Thursday afternoon Sports Center appearance. “He is 39 years old. He just finished season 18. I’m told it would be a surprise if he makes a final decision by this weekend. He certainly has earned the right to make a decision at his own time.

“I will say though the Warriors are hopeful of where they stand in all this if Al Horford decides to play again.”

The 39-year-old has been described as a solid fit for Golden State, as he would boost their perimeter shooting and defense.

Last season, Horford averaged 9.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game.
