Al Horford Enters Year 19 With Warriors, Clean Health Report Ahead of 2026-27
newsroom · 11 min agoAl Horford is back with the Golden State Warriors for the 2026-27 season at age 40, carrying 19 years of NBA experience into training camp. He is not on the injury report, and the season opener is still ahead.
Who Is Al Horford
Al Horford is a 6-8, 240-pound center-forward out of Florida, now in his 19th NBA season. He wears number 20 for the Golden State Warriors. At 40 years old, he is one of the most experienced players on the roster heading into 2026-27. He stayed with Golden State after last season, so there is no adjustment to a new locker room or a new system this time around. For Warriors fans, Horford is a known quantity: a veteran big man who has logged nearly two decades in the league and enters this season already familiar with his teammates and his role.
Last Season's Production
In 2025-26, Horford appeared in 45 games for Golden State, averaging 21.5 minutes a night. He put up 8.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.1 blocks per game, with 0.9 turnovers. His shooting split was efficient for a big man: 42.6 percent from the field, 36.1 percent from three-point range, and 84.6 percent from the free-throw line. His true shooting percentage sat at 55.4, with a usage rate of 16.3 percent. His plus-minus was -0.2, essentially neutral impact when he was on the floor. Those are the numbers Golden State will look to get close to again as he takes the floor in 2026-27.
Health Report
As camp approaches, Horford is not on the injury report. There is no injury history listed for him heading into this season, which matters for a 40-year-old logging NBA minutes. Availability has been a real asset for him: last season he still got into 45 games. A clean bill of health at this stage of his career is worth noting, since minutes management and health are the two biggest variables for a veteran big man in his 19th season. For now, there is nothing on the medical side holding him back from being ready when the Warriors open their schedule.
What's Ahead
The 2026-27 season has not tipped off yet for the Warriors, so there is no game log or box score to point to just yet. The opener is still coming. Until then, the picture on Horford is built from last season's per-game numbers and his current clean health status. He returns to Golden State rather than arriving as a new addition, so there is continuity in his role and in the rotation around him. Once the schedule starts, his minutes and shooting numbers from 2025-26 give the clearest baseline for what to expect from him in year 19.
