The Boston Celtics and center Al Horford have agreed on a two-year contract extension worth $20 million, according to ESPN's Tim Bontemps. The extension, which was first reported by ESPN's Brian Windhorst on Thursday night, ties Horford to the Celtics through the 2024-25 season.

Horford, 35, has been a key part of the Celtics' success in recent years, helping the team reach the NBA Finals in 2018 and 2022. He averaged 10.2 points and 7.7 rebounds per game last season, and he also played a key role in mentoring the team's younger players, including Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.

The Celtics are reportedly excited to have Horford back for two more seasons. He is a respected veteran leader and a valuable contributor on the court. The team is hoping that Horford can help them take the next step and win their first NBA championship since 2008.
