SAN FRANCISCO — In a move no one saw coming, 38-year-old veteran Al Horford has decided to suit up for the Warriors’ showdown against Nikola Jokić and the Denver Nuggets, marking his first back-to-back appearance of the season — and fans are losing their minds.

According to team insiders, the plan was simple: Horford would rest, conserve energy, and sit out the Denver matchup before returning against Portland. But everything changed late Thursday night when, after practice, Horford reportedly slammed his water bottle on the bench and told a coach:

“I’m not sitting for this one. I’ve faced giants before — and I’m not backing down now.”

Fans immediately flooded social media with reactions ranging from disbelief to admiration:

“Al Horford is HIM. Dude refuses to age.”
“He’s about to give Jokic a history lesson.”
“This is the kind of dog mentality the Warriors needed.”

While Horford’s decision electrifies the team, it comes at a cost — Moses Moody remains out for the matchup versus Denver, leaving the rotation thinner than expected. Still, with Horford stepping up and the energy in Chase Center reaching playoff levels, Warriors fans are hoping for more than just a regular-season statement.

Could this be the night Al Horford redefines what it means to be a veteran warrior? One thing’s for sure — the Bay is ready for battle, and Nikola Jokić better not underestimate the man who just told Father Time to wait one more game. ⏳🔥
