Boston Celtics center Al Horford has agreed to a two-year, $20 million contract extension that ties him to the franchise until his 39th birthday in 2025, his agent Jason Glushon of Glushon Sports Management told ESPN yesterday.
Dominican Horford is completing the final season of a four-year, $109 million contract. Horford will earn $26.5 million this season, with the new deal starting in 2023-2024.
Horford has revived his career in his second stint with the Celtics, emerging as an integral part of the championship contending team. While Horford has remained a productive player well into his old age, he continues to be highly respected within the locker room and in the Boston community. Horford is averaging 10.9 points and 6.3 rebounds in 31 minutes per game this season.
