Curry Contract Decisions
Stephen Curry Weighs Contract Extension While Committing to Warriors' Future
Anonymous
Stephen Curry remains committed to finishing his career with the Golden State Warriors and does not expect his contract situation to become a distraction during the 2026-27 season. Entering the final year of a $62.6 million contract, the 38-year-old guard is eligible for a two-year extension worth up to $136.7 million but is weighing a maximum deal, taking less money or waiting until next offseason. A maximum extension could reduce Golden State’s projected 2027 salary-cap space from more than $100 million to roughly $45 million, while a smaller deal or delay could preserve flexibility to add talent. Curry says he wants the Warriors to remain competitive, and delaying a decision could leave him facing unrestricted free agency next summer. He missed much of last season with a knee issue but says he is comfortable with his health entering training camp.
