While it’s unclear where Al Horford will go as of the first night of NBA free agency, the veteran big man is drawing significant interest on the open market. Per HoopHype’s Michael Scotto, multiple contenders have reached out to Horford, including the Celtics, Warriors, Knicks, Nuggets, Cavaliers and Lakers.
