Warriors Plan Talks to Re-Sign Porziņģis as Horford Weighs Option

Management points to veteran size, shooting, leadership as the path to frontcourt continuity.

Overview

  • General manager Mike Dunleavy said the Warriors would love to bring back big men Kristaps Porziņģis and Al Horford after productive stints.
  • Porziņģis is an unrestricted free agent, which means he can negotiate with any team, and Golden State plans to begin talks to keep him.
  • Horford holds a player option that lets him choose whether to play next season with the Warriors, so his return depends on that decision.
  • Team leaders praised Horford for size, shooting and leadership, and called Porziņģis a unique two-way presence on offense and defense.
  • No deals are in place yet, and the team is factoring in age and health with Porziņģis near 31 and Horford near 40 to start the 2026–27 season.
