Earlier this month, Al declined his player option, which was worth $30.1 million, to remain with the Boston Celtics for the remainder of the 2019 to 2020 season.
The new deal of the 33-year-old power forward will allow him to earn $97 Million USD in guaranteed salary and an additional $12 Million USD in bonuses if the Philadelphia 76ers Win the NBA Title.
Reports suggest that the Boston Celtics offered Al Horford a 4-year deal, but it was declined after it guaranteed less money.
Horford played for 3 seasons with the Boston Celtics, throughout the 3 seasons, the power forward averaged 13.5 points, 7 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 1.2 blocks per game.
The 76ers re-signed Harris and added Tobias Harris after they lost Jimmy Butler.
