News summary

Al Horford, a five-time NBA All-Star and recent NBA champion with the Boston Celtics, has signed a two-year, $12 million deal with the Golden State Warriors, including a player option for the second year. Despite a deep connection to Boston, where he spent seven seasons and became a community figure, Horford chose the Warriors to continue competing at a high level and pursue another championship, citing the team’s leadership and chemistry with stars like Stephen Curry and Draymond Green as key factors.

His move marks a significant shift after a storied tenure in Boston, where he was instrumental in their recent championship and playoff success.
