Al Horford is entering the final year of his two-year $19.5 million deal. He is embarking his age-38 season and, assuming the Boston Celtics produce another NBA Finals run next season, will be 39 before the Celtics gear up for the summer of 2025.
Like it or not, we’re in the final stretch of the veteran big man's career. In fact, I don’t think many of us would have been shocked if he’d announced his retirement after helping the Celtics secure Banner 18 last season. Instead, he’s committed to seeing out the final year of his deal.
