Insider Drops Jarring Contract Update for Al Horford, Warriors
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The general consensus is that Al Horford will be signing with the Golden State Warriors some point in the near future and that both sides are waiting to see what happens with Jonathan Kuminga first before any decisions are made. However, NBA insider Jake Fischer has dropped a rather striking update on Horford's potential contract with the Warriors, revealing that it may be a more lucrative — and lengthier — deal than initially anticipated. More news: New Boston Celtics Owner Issues Tough Challenge to Joe Mazzulla "Al Horford's situation is a bit different, because depending on where the Warriors land in the cap tax situation, I believe he is slated to potentially make upward of the full taxpayer mid-level exception," Fischer said. "There has also been some discussion about whether or not he could potentially be receiving a two-year deal with a player option on his deal, as well."

Photo byMost were surely expecting Horford to sign a one-year contract this offseason, so the fact that the 39-year-old — who considered retirement a couple of years ago — could potentially land a multi-year pact is certainly an interesting development. "So for Al Horford to potentially be getting a player option in all of this, and something north of the veteran's minimum, would certainly be a come-up for the near-40-year-old center," Fischer added. Horford spent the last four seasons with the Boston Celtics in what was his second stint with the team. He played in 60 games and made 42 starts last year, averaging nine points and 6.2 rebounds over 27.7 minutes per game on 42.3/36.3/89.5 splits. More news: Warriors Linked to Polarizing Move for 3-Time All-Star The wily veteran is surely not the same player he was during his prime years, but he remains a very valuable supplementary contributor and would represent a major pickup for a Warriors team that is knocking on the door in the Western Conference. It looks fairly inevitable that Horford will sign with Golden State at some point, but when that actually becomes official remains to be seen. For more on the Golden State Warriors and general NBA news, head on over to Newsweek Sports.

Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum speaks on Achilles rehab for the first time
Fans of the Boston Celtics have heard very little from star Celtics forward Jayson Tatum since he went down with a torn Achilles tendon in the 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals second round series vs. the New York Knicks. And given the difficulty of the rehab process for such an injury, it is not hard to imagine why the St. Louis native has kept a low profile since. But this week, in a social media post (via Celtics Blog's Noa Dalzell), Tatum opened up about his injury, how he has been dealing with it, and what comes next for the Duke alum. "Rehab is tedious, man — six days a week. It's starting to get a little bit better now, I'm out the boot now," said Tatum. "Better days ahead, but just trying to take it one day at a time," added the recovering Celtics star. "That first six weeks of this, was probably the toughest six weeks of any point in my life." "You have got to be resilient," suggested Tatum in the clip. "(Those) first six weeks of this were probably the toughest six weeks of any point in my life." "I have just had to accept it and realize it happened, and now I have got to do everything in my power to get back to who I was." Listen to "Havlicek Stole the Pod" on: Spotify: iTunes: YouTube:

Jake Paul to face lightweight boxing champion Gervonta Davis on Nov. 14
Jake Paul will face Gervonta "Tank" Davis in a boxing match on Nov. 14 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Netflix announced Wednesday. The bout is expected to be the biggest test to date for Paul, a social media star with 28 million followers on Instagram and 21 million followers on YouTube. Paul (12-1) became a professional boxer in January 2020 and has impressed despite limited experience in the ring. He has faced criticism for his competition, however. Most of his opponents have been nonboxers — a former NBA Slam Dunk champion in Nate Robinson, and MMA fighters like Anderson Silva, Tyron Woodley, Ben Askren and Mike Perry. He beat a 59-year-old Mike Tyson, and his lone loss came to boxer Tommy Fury, the half-brother of former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. Paul, 28, is coming off a unanimous decision against former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in June. Davis is without question Paul's most heralded opponent. The 30-year-old WBA lightweight champion is one of the sport's top talents, amassing a 30-0-1 record. Though he stands just 5-foot-5, Davis is known for his vicious punching power and has 28 knockouts in his career. He most recently retained his belt with a majority decision draw against Lamond Roach Jr. in March. Davis' boxing career was in jeopardy after he was arrested on July 11 in an alleged domestic dispute with his ex-girlfriend. According to the Miami-Dade County Clerk's Office, a misdemeanor battery charge against Davis was dropped. Paul vs. Davis is the latest boxing match promoted by Netflix as it gets more involved in live sports. Paul's bout with Tyson last November, for example, peaked at 65 million streams, according to the streaming service. Netflix is also promoting Terence Crawford vs. Canelo Alvarez on Sept. 13, and has WWE Raw and multiple NFL games on Christmas Day. Not everyone in the boxing world is happy Paul vs. Davis is happening. Ryan Garcia, a former WBC interim lightweight champion who lost to Davis in 2023, wrote on social media that "boxing is officially the WWE … integrity of the sport is getting ruined every day."
