Al Horford Expected to Earn $5.7 Million with Goldenโฃ State โคWarriors
Boston, MA – Al โฃHorford’s departure from the Boston โฃCeltics is nearing finality, and now fans have a clearer picture of his financial future with the Golden State โWarriors.โค According to ESPN’s Anthony Slater and Shamsโข Charania, via โฃMassLive’s Brian Robb, Horford is โexpected to receiveโ the taxpayer mid-level exception – projected at $5.7 millionโค for the 2025-26 NBA season – once the Warriors resolve a contract situation with forward Jonathan Kuminga.
Reports suggest a resolution to the Kumingaโ impasse isโ imminent, paving the wayโฃ for Horford to officially join theโ Warriors and conclude hisโ impactfulโ tenure โin Boston.
Theโ Celtics’ decision โappears to be driven โby financial considerations. As the team navigates the โคcomplexities of the NBA’s second apron, offeringโ Horford a โcontract of โขthat size was likelyโ unsustainable, notably as โคthey explore options to retool the roster around starโข forward Jayson Tatum.
Horford’s move โto Golden State represents aโ newโ chapter for the veteran big man, while the Celtics continue to shape theirโ future.
