Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical reported Horford "relented on the late [Atlanta] Hawks push" and told the Celtics he will sign a max deal with them. According to Wojnarowski, the contract is expected to be a four-year, $113 million deal.

Wojnarowski added that there was "tremendous momentum" for the Hawks in the final hours. However, the two sides were $6 million apart, per Wojnarowski.
