The Boston Celtics have been awaiting Al Horford's decision seemingly the entire offseason as he weighs his options going into the 2025-26 campaign. The veteran big man is expected to sign a two-year deal with a Western Conference squad according to an insider.

In the event that Horford does, in fact, leave the team, an insider spoke on whether Boston will pursue a replacement before the season begins. The center position is a little weaker compared to other team's rosters, and especially with how wide open the Eastern Conference is, it is certainly worth considering.

Finally, a former Celtics legend is now the top-ranked quarterback in US Flag Football. No, this isn't a typo, but rather, an integral member of the 2008 championship squad is excelling at a new sport.
