The Boston Celtics are on their way to the NBA Finals and Al Horford is already cashing in for next season. In a rare team-based salary incentive, Horford is making $5 million for the team making the Finals. That $5 million goes towards next season’s salary.
Horford has rejuvenated his career here in Boston, being a valuable piece to the team’s success. It would be hard to believe though that the Celtics wouldn’t guarantee his whole contract for next season anyway. His salary could exceed $26 million if the contract is picked up in full.
