NBA, UNITED STATES, JUN 30 – The Warriors prioritize adding veteran center Al Horford to strengthen their frontcourt amid Jonathan Kuminga's restricted free agency and roster uncertainties, using midlevel exception cap space.
- The Golden State Warriors are targeting free-agent Al Horford as a top priority stretch center following the opening of NBA free agency on June 30, 2025.
- Horford became a free agent after helping the Boston Celtics win the 2024 NBA championship and averaging 9.0 points with a 36.3% three-point percentage last season.
- The Warriors have offered restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga a qualifying offer worth $7.9 million, while forward Patrick Moody successfully underwent surgery to repair a torn UCL in his right thumb.
- Horford, age 39 and entering his 19th NBA season, played 42 games last season and is expected to start if signed, as the Warriors aim to bolster their core around Curry, Butler, and Green.
- Signing Horford could enhance Golden State’s roster during their short championship window, while Kuminga’s contract situation shapes their spending flexibility in free agency.
