Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors are synonymous. So it’s natural for the future Hall of Famer to be asked about his franchise wherever he goes, even in the offseason.
That’s exactly what happened Thursday in South Lake Tahoe, Nevada, where Curry again competed in the American Century Championship golf tournament.

Among other things, Curry was asked about the idea of his Warriors signing free-agent frontcourt veteran Al Horford. The point guard’s answer may have hinted at Golden State’s plans.
“He’s a champion, great player,” Curry said of the 39-year-old five-time NBA All-Star, according to The Athletic’s Anthony Slater.
“When … if, when all that stuff happens, I’ll talk about it.”
The initial mid-sentence shift from “when” to “if” has social media speculating, especially because Horford has been linked to the Warriors in recent days. Horford could also retire.

Horford has spent the past four seasons, and seven total, with the Boston Celtics, a stretch that featured a championship in 2024.
Boston is retooling after two straight years in the second apron, where it’s been dealing with the highest level of financial and basketball-related penalties.
To get out of the “penalty box,” according to Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens, the franchise traded away guard Jrue Holiday and center Kristaps Porziņģis: a pair of starters, former All-Stars and key pieces of Boston’s 2024 title team.

As much as Stevens might want to re-sign Horford, bringing him back probably isn’t in the cards because of Boston’s financial plan this offseason.

The same was the case for fellow center Luke Kornet, who signed with the San Antonio Spurs earlier in free agency.
“We made offers to both Luke and Al,” Stevens said Tuesday. “We would have loved to have had both of them back. I’d say that’s unlikely. And the only reason I haven’t talked about Al is because I could probably talk about Al my whole press conference and not say enough. But I don’t want to speak in absolute terms until an ultimate decision is made. But [he’s] another guy that if he were to go and play somewhere else, I think he’s [still] an all-time Celtic and winner and did everything he could for this organization — not only from the games but also how he impacted our younger players, who in a lot of ways now have to take what they’ve learned from the Jrue’s and the Al’s and people like that and apply that from a leadership role.”
The Warriors need help in the frontcourt after veteran center Kevon Looney walked in free agency and signed with the New Orleans Pelicans.
Despite his age, Horford is still producing at a high level in the NBA. He played in 60 regular-season games this past season, making 42 starts and averaging 27.7 minutes per game. Along the way, he posted 9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists per contest while shooting 42.3% from the field and 36.3% from 3.

Can 49ers rebound after disappointing 2024? How Christian McCaffrey’s return, remade defense impact outlook
Welcome to "NFL Thoughts," a wide-ranging, in-depth look at some of the top storylines of the 2025 season. We started this year's series by looking back at the prized 2024 rookie quarterback class and looking forward to what we should expect from it in 2025. Today, we're looking at a team that fell off in 2024 and whether it can rejoin the NFL's upper crust after big changes over the 2025 offseason.From 2019-2023, the 49ers won 54 regular-season games -- only the Packers won more games among NFC teams -- and went to two Super Bowls, falling to the Chiefs both times. The 49ers' eight playoff wins over that span were second in the NFL, only behind Kansas City. That Patrick Mahomes guy has a way of standing in the way, doesn't he?In last year's version of this very series, […]
College Football Hot Seat Rankings: How last year’s nine coaches with jobs on the line fared
CBS Sports' 2025 released its College Football Hot Seat Rankings this week, assessing the job security of all 136 FBS coaches. Atop that list, our expert panel of voters identified nine coaches with their jobs on the line entering the season.While these coaches certainly face pressure, it's important to remember that job security is fluid in college football. A few big wins can cool a coach's seat in a hurry, while a tumble down the standings can heat things up for another. To put things into perspective, we looked back at last year's list of coaches with jobs on the line to see how each fared, and the results were all over the map.Three of the coaches CBS rated in the "4" and "5" ranges on the hot seat meter -- "start improving now" and "win or be fired," respectively […]
Biggest remaining need for every NFC team: Secondary help for Packers, Cowboys, protection for Baker Mayfield
Despite the recent trade between the Miami Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers, there is usually little movement at this stage of the NFL calendar. Moves that are made this time of year are usually of little consequence to the outcome of the season. However, big names linger on the open market, such as wide receivers Keenan Allen and Amari Cooper, safeties Marcus Williams and Justin Simmons, pass rushers Za'Darius Smith and Jadeveon Clowney, and more. Could one of those veterans be the missing piece to a team's Super Bowl run? The Chargers and Lions will open the preseason July 31 at the 2025 Pro Football Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio. Los Angeles will also be the first team reporting to training camp with rookies set to appear July 12. The Steelers and Falcons veterans will be last to report July 23.Let's explore the biggest remaining need for each NFC franchise ahead of training […]
