A recent X post shared by NBA reporter Evan Sidery, citing Marc Spears, indicates that the Golden State Warriors anticipated Horford's commitment last week, but he remains undecided, with interest also coming from the Milwaukee Bucks, Atlanta Hawks, and Los Angeles Lakers.

Al Horford could help a lot of teams: He can score inside, knock down 3s, and remains a quality defender. At age 39, a team has to monitor his minutes and not run him like he’s 29, but in a limited role, he could help a lot of playoff teams. It’s why he is one of the best free agents still on the market.

Speaking to reporters, Brad Stevens said that it's "unlikely" Al Horford will return to the Celtics for the 2025-26 season.
