Denver Nuggets fans were excited following the latest intel on Al Horford's NBA free agency.
Nuggets Fans Excited After New Al Horford Report originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
So many of the free agent dominoes have fallen that Boston Celtics center Al Horford is one of the biggest names still available on the open market. As it turns out, it's still unclear what his plans are this offseason.
Reports have tied him to the Golden State Warriors, but nothing is set in stone. The San Francisco Chronicle's Sam Gordon reported that Horford is not expected to make a decision on his next team over the weekend.
"Horford is a prime target for the Warriors, league sources confirmed to the Chronicle, but the five-time All-Star big man ... isn't expected to make a decision this weekend," Gordon wrote.
While Horford remains linked to Golden State, this new report about him remaining undecided could be good news for the Denver Nuggets, who are currently dealing with the potential fallout from the Jonas Valanciunas situation.
While Denver acquired Valanciunas from the Sacramento Kings, he reportedly wants to leave the NBA to go overseas to play for the Greek professional basketball team, Panathinaikos, which BasketNews' Donatas Urbonas first reported.
If Valanciunas follows through on those plans, the Nuggets could turn to Horford as Nikola Jokic's backup center. Following the report that Horford remains undecided, Nuggets fans were ecstatic to find out they still have a chance.
