Al Horford’s NBA future has been the subject of speculation throughout the offseason. After helping the Boston Celtics through another deep playoff run in 2024-25, the 39-year-old now faces a critical decision: continue playing or walk away after a decorated career.

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 is reportedly weighing retirement as one of the few remaining unrestricted free agents on the NBA market, according to The Boston Globe's Adam Himmelsbach.
