Warriors Land Al Horford on Multi-Year Deal to Fill Starting Center Role

Paperwork could follow once Golden State resolves Jonathan Kuminga’s qualifying-offer situation.

Overview

  • Horford verbally committed on Sunday to join Golden State on a multi-year contract, per his agent via ESPN’s Shams Charania.
  • The five-time All-Star is expected to start at center in his 19th NBA season, enabling Draymond Green to shift back to power forward.
  • Final financial details are being worked through and could hinge on restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga’s decision, according to multiple reports.
  • Golden State prioritized a veteran big after longtime center Kevon Looney agreed to a two-year deal with the Pelicans earlier this week.
  • Horford posted a public thank-you to Boston on X after seven seasons and a 2024 title with the Celtics.
