Al Horford Signs Multiyear Deal with Warriors, Sources Confirm

BREAKING: Free agent center Al Horford has officially committed to a multiyear contract with the Golden State Warriors, as confirmed by his agent, Jason Glushon, to ESPN just hours ago. This pivotal move comes after Horford, who spent the last seven of nine years with the Boston Celtics, helped lead the team to the 2023-24 NBA championship.

This announcement marks the beginning of Horford’s 19th season in the league, where he is expected to step in as the Warriors’ new starting center. Sources indicate Horford verbally committed to the deal earlier today, with final financial terms still being negotiated. A signing is anticipated within days, pending a decision from restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga.

Horford was the Warriors’ top center target entering free agency, weighing options between joining Golden State or the possibility of retirement. The urgency around this decision highlights the Warriors’ commitment to bolstering their roster as they prepare for the upcoming season.

Last season, Horford averaged 9.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.1 assists, while shooting an impressive 36% from beyond the arc on over five attempts per game. His experience and skills are seen as vital assets to the Warriors, particularly in enhancing their offensive strategy around stars Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler III, and Draymond Green.

Horford’s exceptional defensive capabilities also make him a critical addition. He posted a 46% effective field-goal percentage allowed while defending isolations last season, ranking as the seventh-best in the NBA. His ability to switch on wing players and defend against isolations further emphasizes his value to a team aiming for another championship run.

“Al is a perfect fit for us,” said a Warriors source. “His size, floor-spacing, and defensive instincts will significantly upgrade our center position,”

As the NBA landscape shifts, all eyes will be on the Warriors as they finalize this deal. Fans are eager to see how Horford will integrate into the team’s dynamic, and his addition could prove crucial in their quest for another title.

Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops, particularly regarding Kuminga’s decision and the finalization of Horford’s contract. The clock is ticking, and the excitement is building as the new season approaches.
