Overview

  • Al Horford remains unsigned more than two weeks into free agency despite reported interest from the Warriors, Lakers, Bucks and Hawks.
  • Family logistics coupled with potential retirement are key factors postponing the 18-season veteran’s decision.
  • Golden State has held off on any free agency moves while awaiting Horford’s decision and clarity on Jonathan Kuminga’s restricted status.
  • If Horford signs elsewhere or retires, the Warriors have identified Bulls center Nikola Vucevic as their primary alternative target.
  • Boston Celtics president Brad Stevens said it now appears unlikely that Horford will return to Boston for the 2025–26 season.
