The first option is retirement, and the second is to play for the Golden State Warriors next season.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Recently, <a href=\"https:\/\/basketballsphere.com\/en\/boston-celtics-thank-al-horford-who-looks-set-to-sign-with-golden-state-warriors\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">information surfaced that the Boston Celtics decided not to keep Horford<\/a> for the next season, so the experienced player had to look for other options.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Also, Jake Weinbach reported that Horford has agreed on personal terms with the Golden State Warriors, but they still can\u2019t sign anyone until the situation with Jonathan Kuminga is resolved.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During the previous <a href=\"https:\/\/basketballsphere.com\/en\/news\/nba\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NBA<\/a> season, Horford played 60 games for the Boston Celtics, averaging 9 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.1 assists.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The greatest achievement in Horford\u2019s career came in 2024 when he helped the Celtics win the NBA championship.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Horford entered the NBA in 2007, after three years at the University of Florida, when he was selected by the Atlanta Hawks as the third overall pick in the draft.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He stayed there until 2016, when he moved to the Boston Celtics, where he spent the next three years. Then he played one year for the Philadelphia 76ers and one year for the Oklahoma City Thunder, until returning to the Boston Celtics in 2021, where he remained until the end of last season.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"2821\" data-end=\"3085\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Read more:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/basketballsphere.com\/en\/link\/betlabel_bonus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/betlabel-banner-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-148540\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>EUROLEAGUE ROSTERS 2025\/2026: All moves &amp; signings in one place (UPDATED DAILY)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"165\">EUROLEAGUE ROSTERS: The most prestigious European competition brings plenty of exciting transfers.
