Curry Extension Talks
Stephen Curry Seeks No Drama Amid Ongoing Warriors Contract Extension Talks
Anonymous
Stephen Curry says his unresolved contract extension with the Golden State Warriors will not distract him or affect the team as training camp begins. Curry, who is eligible for a two-year extension worth up to $136.7 million, said he will decide when he has all the information he needs, while the Warriors have discussed options ranging from a maximum deal to arrangements that preserve more salary-cap flexibility. He has repeatedly said his goal is to finish his career with Golden State and is not using the negotiations to explore free agency. A maximum extension could substantially reduce the Warriors’ projected cap space next summer, but Curry emphasized that the priority is building a competitive team and winning. He also said he is physically ready and eager to return after being limited to 43 games last season by a knee injury.
Key Points
1
Curry is entering his 18th NBA season at age 38 and previously signed a one-year, $62.6 million extension in August 2024, which expires after the upcoming season.
2
The Warriors are currently projected to have more than $100 million in salary-cap space next summer, but a maximum extension for Curry would reduce that figure to roughly $45 million.
3
Golden State’s flexibility could be particularly important because Jimmy Butler is still recovering from an ACL tear after the team had an unusually quiet offseason.
4
Despite being limited to 43 games by his knee injury last season, Curry averaged 26.6 points in the games he played and said he feels physically ready to return without hesitation.
5
The Warriors are scheduled to begin practice in Hawaii next week and open the regular season on Oct. 21 in Los Angeles against the Lakers.
