Al Horford's Versatility and Experience Excite Steve Kerr for Warriors' 2025-26 Season

Veteran center Al Horford, entering his 19th NBA season at 39 years old, is the Golden State Warriors' biggest offseason addition for the 2025-26 season. Coach Steve Kerr is particularly enthusiastic about Horford's potential impact, especially in combination with Jonathan Kuminga. Kerr believes Horford's ability to space the floor will provide Kuminga with crucial offensive space when Kuminga plays the four and Horford the five, surrounded by shooters, which could stabilize Kuminga's production. Kerr praised Horford's "defensive wherewithal" and "accumulation of so much knowledge and experience," noting he brings a "big, athletic rim protector" dimension the team has lacked. Horford's versatility is also expected to benefit other players like Draymond Green, Jimmy Butler, Trayce Jackson-Davis, and Quinten Post.
