Al Horford to Retire as a Celtic
Horford Signs Two-Year Extension with Boston
Veteran forward Al Horford is expected to retire as a member of the Boston Celtics after signing a two-year, $20 million contract extension with the team. The deal will keep Horford in Boston through the 2024-25 season.
Horford's Legacy in Boston
Horford has been a key contributor to the Celtics' success since joining the team in 2016. He was a member of the team's 2018 Eastern Conference championship team and has helped lead the Celtics to the playoffs in each of his six seasons in Boston.
Horford is known for his versatility, leadership, and defensive prowess. He is widely regarded as one of the best centers in the league and has been named to the All-Defensive Second Team four times in his career.
Horford's Future
Horford's contract extension is a sign that the Celtics believe he can still be a valuable contributor. At 36 years old, Horford is entering the twilight of his career, but he showed last season that he can still play at a high level.
If Horford can maintain his current level of play, he could earn a lucrative contract on the free agent market in 2023. However, it seems likely that Horford's priority is to retire as a Celtic.
