Warriors steal stretch five from former Finals rival in massive center upgrade

The Golden State Warriors have found their replacement for outgoing veteran center Kevon Looney, finally signing Boston Celtics big man Al Horford in a major development just 24 hours out from media day.

As first reported by ESPN's Shams Charania on Sunday, the Warriors will sign Horford to a multi-year contract. The exact specifics are still unknown until Jonathan Kuminga's free agency is settled, but it's long been expected that Horford will get a two-year, $11 million deal with a second year player option if he chooses to go into retirement or head elsewhere in 2026.
