"ESPN" spectator Adrian Wodnarovsky discovered that Horford had not extended the contract with Celtics, thus rejecting the player's choice. The 33-year-old core position was reduced by $ 30.1 million (about 26.8 million euros).

The basketball player of the Dominican Republic will become an unrestricted free agent, but Horford and the Celtics wish to continue their collaboration. Both parties could agree on a new contract before the beginning of July.

Last season, Horford played in 68 regular NBA tournament games averaging 13.6 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.2 badists. The Celtics came out of the playoff tournament in the first round, easily overcoming the resistance of Indiana's "Pacers", and in the second round, the superiority of Milwaukee's "Bucks" with a score of 1-4. In nine playoff games, Horford lost 13.9 points on average, scored nine under the baskets and returned 4.4 badists.

Horford competed in the NBA All-Star Game five times (2010, 2011, 2015, 2016, 2018)
