Seemingly, the entire offseason has been dominated by rumors of where the 39-year-old center would land, but a key insider reported that a new team has expressed interest in Horford. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_ih3vxzk45\">Additionally, Jaylen Brown received an unfortunate prediction by an NBA insider. As superstar Jayson Tatum will be out for most of, if not all of, the regular season, Brown has an increased workload and new role as the No. 1 scoring option, but the insider isn&#8217;t too high on the 2024 Finals MVP without Tatum on the court. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_yogmmgwwa\">In other news, a Celtics guard is predicted to take a major leap this season. The new-look Celtics still have a few staples from the core of the previous squad, and one of the most exciting bench players on the team will look to take another step in his production heading into his sixth season in the league.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_4nj4juupi\">Here\u2019s more information on these stories and all the latest Celtics news (click the headline for the full article):<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_8cq4yqis8\"><a class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_1g5zl1p\" href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nba\/celtics\/news\/celtics-star-al-horford-drawing-free-agent-interest-from-a-new-team-report\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Celtics Star Al Horford Drawing Free Agent Interest From A New Team: Report<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_fsli7uckv\"><a class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_1g5zl1p\" href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nba\/celtics\/news\/celtics-jaylen-brown-receives-unfortunate-prediction-by-nba-insider\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Celtics&#8217; Jaylen Brown Receives Unfortunate Prediction By NBA Insider<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_pio48syvo\"><a class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_1g5zl1p\" href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nba\/celtics\/news\/celtics-30-million-guard-predicted-to-take-huge-leap-this-year\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Celtics&#8217; $30 Million Guard Predicted to Take Huge Leap This Year<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_et8xecefe\"><a class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_1g5zl1p\" href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nba\/celtics\/news\/surprise-celtics-player-named-toughest-to-guard-by-ex-boston-all-star\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Surprise Celtics Player Named Toughest to Guard By Ex-Boston All-Star<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_0b7hr8rn1\">Celtics Tweets of the Day:<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Always a good time visiting the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RedSox?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@RedSox<\/a> \u26be\ufe0f\u2618\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zEgHG01Oxq\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/zEgHG01Oxq<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Boston Celtics (@celtics) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/celtics\/status\/1958894145084563955?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">August 22, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">An expedition like no other \ud83e\udd88\ud83e\uddad\ud83d\udc1f<\/p>\n<p>Assistant Coach Tony Dobbins brought his family on an <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/A_WhiteShark?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">@A_WhiteShark<\/a> charter off the coast of Cape Cod to search for great white sharks \ud83d\udc40 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5zpIf1JGfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/5zpIf1JGfw<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Boston Celtics (@celtics) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/celtics\/status\/1958907158973882382?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">August 22, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jayson Tatum hanging out with Dejounte Murray after both torn their Achilles.<\/p>\n<p>(Via: Jayson Tatum\u2019s Instagram) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/VP8crceFdZ\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/VP8crceFdZ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Playoff BOS (@PlayoffBOS) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PlayoffBOS\/status\/1958963746899976601?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">August 22, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Day 101 of posting Jayson Tatum performances until he returns<\/p>\n<p>39\/11 in a win over the Jazz<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Tbh7NAFIaZ\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/Tbh7NAFIaZ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 CelticsNation JT \ud83d\ude4f (@CelticsTheis) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CelticsTheis\/status\/1958920881855492580?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">August 22, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_hofsgvsed\">For more news and notes on the Boston Celtics, visit<a class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_1g5zl1p\" href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nba\/celtics\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a0Boston Celtics on SI.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Boston Celtics have a major update regarding veteran big man Al Horford.
