Celtics sign Al Horford to two-year extension. What does that mean?

Al Horford knows his NBA career is winding down.

Earlier this season, the Celtics big man told Heavy.com’s Steve Bulpett he wants to play for “two, three more years for sure.” He also was direct when Bulpett asked if he wants to finish his career in Boston, answering in the affirmative.

“My biggest thing is just enjoying this opportunity and this moment,” Horford said. “It’s not often that you’re part of a team and you love what you have going on here, but also having a real chance. That’s something that’s special.”

On Thursday, Horford moved a little closer to finishing his career in Boston, signing a two-year extension with the Celtics reportedly worth $20 million.
