The NBA world is still waiting on Al Horford to make a decision in free agency, and there is still an expectation he will end up with the Golden State Warriors.

Outtakes: Horford's impact will outlast him, what Messi, Clark and Ohtani have in common and the greatest doping excuse ever.

The Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors are facing a new threat when it comes to free agent center Al Horford.

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.

Al Horford is set to enter his 19th season in the NBA next season. For the last four seasons, he has been playing for the Boston Celtics, where he has achieved great success, including winning the NBA Championship in 2024, the first of his career. Last season with the Celtics, Horford averaged 9.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game.

According to Marc Grandi, the Warriors have a handshake deal with Al Horford to join the roster, and a decision on Jonathan Kuminga has put a hold on its progress.

Joe Mazzulla inherited a stacked roster when he took over as the Boston Celtics’ interim head coach in 2022. But even the first-time NBA head coach knows that it takes more than skill alone to win it all.
