Miami Heat Will Have To Deal With Al Horford In Boston For Another Two Years
The Miami Heat have seen a lot of Boston Celtics forward Al Horford over the years.
On Thursday, they learned they will get to face Horford for at least two more seasons. According to ESPN, he signed a two-year contract extension with the Celtics.
In Wednesday's victory against the Heat, Horford had six points, six rebounds and five assists. He has faced Miami 50 times in his career, averaging 12 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists.
Even at 36, Horford remains an effective player. He is averaging 10.9 points and 6.3 rebounds this season. He is the oldest player on the Celtics roster, making him more of an asset than the Heat's elder statesman (Udonis Haslem).
While Haslem rarely plays meaningful minutes, he did log nine minutes against the Celtics Wednesday because of an injury to rookie Nikola Jovic. He had one rebound and one steal.
