Stephen Curry hints at Golden State Warriors potentially signing free agent Al Horford

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 Lake Tahoe, Nevada, where Curry once again competed in the American Century Championship golf tournament.

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 decide to retire.

Horford has spent the last four seasons, and seven total, with the Boston Celtics, a stretch that featured a championship in 2024.

But 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, starters, former All-Stars and key pieces of Boston’s 2024 title team.

As much as Stevens might want to resign 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 could use some help in the frontcourt after losing 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 9.0 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists per contest while shooting 42.3% from the field and 36.3% from 3.
