Contract Extension Details
Stephen Curry has agreed to a two-year contract extension valued at $116 million that will keep him with the Golden State Warriors through the 2028-29 season. The deal follows a $62.6 million extension Curry signed for the 2026-27 season in August 2024. While Curry could have commanded up to $136 million, the agreement reflects a discount that underscores his desire to finish his career with the franchise.
Background and Career Context
The 38-year-old guard enters his 20th season with Golden State, joining Dirk Nowitzki, the late Kobe Bryant and Udonis Haslem as the only players in NBA history to spend two decades with a single team. Curry, a two-time MVP and the league’s all-time leader in three-pointers, has won four championships, most recently in 2022. Last season he averaged 26.6 points, 4.7 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 30.9 minutes but was limited to 43 games because of a right-knee injury that kept him out for more than two months.
Official Statements & Responses
Golden State general manager Mike Dunleavy expressed enthusiasm, noting the franchise’s “historic career” with Curry and praising his “unique leadership and sacrifice.”
