Horford is reportedly considering offers from the Warriors and Lakers, while the Nuggets are also rumored to have interest. His departure would represent another hit to the Celtics’ frontcourt, which has already lost Kornet to San Antonio in free agency and Kristaps Porzingis via trade.

Al Horford could help a lot of teams: He can score inside, knock down 3s, and remains a quality defender. At age 39, a team has to monitor his minutes and not run him like he’s 29, but in a limited role, he could help a lot of playoff teams. It’s why he is one of the best free agents still on the market.

Al Horford has yet to make a decision on whether he'll be back next season in the NBA, though it sounds like he'll sign elsewhere this summer.

Speaking to reporters, Brad Stevens said that it's "unlikely" Al Horford will return to the Celtics for the 2025-26 season.
