Al Horford Joins Warriors in Shock Move After Celtics Exit

UPDATE: Al Horford has officially joined the Golden State Warriors, confirming his decision to leave the Boston Celtics after seven seasons. In a press conference at Chase Center on September 27, 2025, Horford expressed excitement about the opportunity to compete at a high level alongside stars like Steph Curry and Draymond Green.

Horford’s decision comes after a challenging offseason where he reflected on his future following the Celtics’ struggles after Jayson Tatum‘s Achilles injury. “It wasn’t an easy decision for me to leave Boston,” Horford stated. “But if there was a place, that was this one, and it happened.”

The Celtics’ roster underwent a major overhaul this summer, losing both Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis in trades, and allowing Horford to explore new opportunities. The Warriors’ system, known for its defensive versatility and offensive fluidity, is expected to maximize Horford’s skills as a floor spacer and connector on offense.

In his introductory session, Horford, who signed a two-year deal worth $5.7 million, highlighted the unique fit with the Warriors: “It’s huge to not only have a space 5, but it’s not just any space 5 — it’s Al Horford,” said Warriors coach Steve Kerr. Kerr emphasized Horford’s ability to rebound, defend, and pass effectively, noting his seamless integration into the Warriors’ lineup.

Despite his age, Horford remains a crucial asset, having contributed significantly to the Celtics’ success over the years. The Warriors see his experience as invaluable in their quest for another championship. However, the conversation around his playing time has already begun, with both Horford and Kerr indicating that the medical team will monitor his minutes this season.

The timing of Horford’s signing was influenced by the resolution of Jonathan Kuminga‘s restricted free agency, which allowed the Warriors to finalize Horford’s deal. Horford described the offseason as “odd,” filled with uncertainty, but expressed relief to be with the Warriors as they prepare for the upcoming season.

As training camp kicks off, all eyes will be on Horford as he embarks on this new chapter. The Warriors are expected to leverage his skills to enhance their championship aspirations, and fans are eager to see how he will fit into their dynamic roster.

Stay tuned for more updates as the NBA season approaches, and watch for how Horford’s addition impacts the Warriors’ strategy moving forward.
