"To be honest, I'm coming back. That's the plan," Horford told reporters

"We already talked about our offseason, how it's going to look like. I think I'll just take a little time off right now but I'll start training in a couple of weeks again and kind of get it going and build it back up. I'll be ready to go."

Horford will be entering his 18th season in the NBA. But he doesn't know yet how long his career will last after next season.

"I feel good, [and] I wanna keep it going. I know I have to be cautious with how I approach the season and how I go throughout the season."

Horford was a vital piece for the Celtics during heir postseason run, especially with Kristaps Porzingis out for the majority of the games.

He averaged 9.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in the 2024 playoffs.
