Al Horford will return next season instead of retire after winning his first NBA championship.
Horford, who just turned 38-years-old, is set to make $9.5 million in the final year of his contract with the Celtics.

lol for ten million I wouldn’t ride off in the sunset neither
If they win B2B would he be the 1st to do that in the NBA and NCAA, or not? I know there were some dominant Centers back in the day that might have done that.
All the talk about him retiring is so fucking dumb. He’s still playing great basketball at his age, has a guaranteed contract next year, and never gave any indication that he’d retire.
Walk away or make $10 million 🤔tough choice
Oh thank goodness
If this run proved anything, it’s that we really need a back-up center who can start games as long as we have Porzingis
I saw a report that said he wanted to play into his 40s
He’s got TB12 juice in him
Again, I want his jersey in the rafters, and he can have a lifelong contract, Udonis Haslem style.
He ended his college career with back to back titles. Why would he end his nba career before giving the same thing a shot?
Sixers fans in absolute shambles
Big Al: “ I got one more in me”
Al going for 6 rings now
He just wants one year wheee everybody has to call him the champ.
Should get child support payments as Embiid’s father.
“Now that I’ve got a taste of what that experience is like, I’m sort of addicted.”
Gotta at least try and run it back
8/6/3 on 65% TS with the ability to switch on defense for only $10 million a year is a huge steal for us.
As our 6th/7th man he really provides so much use
this is huge for the celtics. he was a key part of the team obviously and not easy to replace what he brings.
Yall cooked
LFG
Talk about a guy who was worth every penny
He’s addicted just like Chris Paul.
Every time I’m reminded of how impressive Hordford’s longevity is, I’m bummed that Joakim Noah didn’t have the same longevity.
Those guys playing side-by-side in college, entering the league together… it would have been great to see both of them play in the league together for longer.
It’s a shame that Noah’s game fell off so early.
On the flip side, when we see how impressive Horford’s longevity is, it really puts LeBron’s longevity into context. Horford is praised for still being a quality starter at age 37.
LeBron is still an All NBA player at 39.
Big Al said let’s get greedy.
So hyped to be returning our top 8 for the back-to-back attempt. Think Hauser and Horford are unfortunately gone after next season.
Can you imagine him winning back-to-back ncaa championships right before his pro career and then finishing his career winning back-to-back championships?
I really hope for competition sake we get a more healthy playoffs next year.
Boston included
PLAY UNTIL 42 AL CUZ 42’S GOING UP TO LAS VIGAS
Yes I will play another year of the game I love for 10 million dollars.
