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.

NBA free agency is underway, and after a week, some notable names remain unsigned. That includes Jonathan Kuminga and Josh Giddey, who are both restricted free agents this summer.

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

We’re a week into free agency and there have been more trades than impactful signings, but there are a handful of available players at moderate salaries that could impact their new teams, including Celtics center Al Horford.

BOSTON — While acknowledging the benefit of potentially escaping the luxury tax next season, Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens suggested Tuesday that no further trades are imminent and the Celtics could be done with significant changes this offseason.

Horford, who has played seven of his 18 NBA seasons in Boston over two different stints, is coming off a 2024-25 season that where he averaged 9.0 points and 6.2 rebounds per night, while shooting 42.3 percent (36.3 percent from deep), in 60 games for the Celtics.

Al Horford's second tenure with the Celtics might come to an end soon, with the Warriors reportedly looking like a strong suitor to land hin.

Renowned NBA analyst Bill Simmons has reported that Al Horford to the Golden State Warriors is a "foregone conclusion"
