Boston Celtics center Al Horford has left the basketball world waiting the entire offseason to hear about what decision he will make ahead of the 2025-26 campaign. A team insider offered some much-needed insight into what to expect down the road, and even other players Horford's decision may be waiting on.

In other news, All-Star Jaylen Brown credits a rival Los Angeles Lakers legend as motivation for a new project he is working on. The infusion of Lakers royalty also had to do with why Brown ever picked up a basketball to begin with, now looking to help one day get other athletes better deals and higher percentages.

Finally, the Celtics sent a message of support to a former center dealing with a brain tumor. As devastating as this experience is for the NBA vet, he has the full support of Boston and the rest of the basketball world.
