Stephen Curry has secured a one-year, $62.6 million contract extension with the team. This deal, confirmed by Curry’s agent Jeff Austin with ESPN, keeps the two-time NBA MVP in the Bay Area through the 2026-27 season. The extension ensures Curry’s continued presence in the league, adding to his already remarkable legacy.
Curry’s Commitment to the Warriors
Curry has been vocal about his desire to remain a Warrior for life. In a recent interview, he reiterated his commitment, stating, “I’ve always said I want to be a Warrior for life. At this stage in my career, I feel like that’s possible.” This extension is a significant step toward fulfilling that goal, further solidifying his status as one of the most loyal players in NBA history.
The new deal comes as Curry approaches the latter stages of his career, with his 38th birthday set for March 14, 2026. Due to the NBA’s over-38 rule, which limits the length of contracts offered to players nearing that age, the Warriors could only offer Curry a one-year extension this offseason. Despite these limitations, the agreement is a testament to Curry’s enduring value to the franchise.
A Career of Milestones
Curry’s impact on the court remains as potent as ever. Last season, he averaged 26.4 points per game, shooting 40.8 percent from beyond the arc. His performance earned him a spot on the All-NBA and All-Star teams for the 10th time. Additionally, he was named the 2023-24 Clutch Player of the Year, a recognition of his consistent ability to deliver in critical moments.
The extension also places Curry among an elite group of NBA players who have surpassed $500 million in career earnings. This milestone is a reflection of his incredible skill, leadership, and marketability. As he enters the final years of his career, Curry continues to serve as the cornerstone of the Warriors, a team that has seen its fair share of changes this offseason.
Despite the departures of key players like Klay Thompson and Chris Paul, the Warriors have remained focused on maintaining a competitive roster. General manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. has added players like Kyle Anderson, De’Anthony Melton, and Buddy Hield to the mix.
