Stephen Curry is expected to sign an extension with the Golden State Warriors once he becomes eligible on Saturday (8/29), according to Anthony Slater of ESPN.
Curry will make $62.6 million next season in the final year of his contract. The future Hall of Famer is eligible for a two-year, $136.7 million extension.
“The next piece of business for the Warriors comes later this weekend. Curry becomes extension-eligible Saturday and the sides are expected to engage with a mutual desire to keep Curry with the Warriors for the entirety of his career, team sources continue to confirm,” Slater wrote.
The Warriors missed the playoffs last season. They haven’t advanced past the second round of the playoffs since 2022.
To make matters worse, Golden State didn’t get superstars LeBron James or Giannis Antetokounmpo this summer. James signed with the Philadelphia 76ers despite Curry and Draymond Green heavily recruiting him to Golden State, while the Milwaukee Bucks traded Antetokounmpo to the Miami Heat.
“That’s why you don’t envision anything until it happens,” Curry said at Moses Moody’s youth camp about the Warriors not getting James, via The Athletic. “There’s a lot of moving parts.”
Curry appeared in 43 games last season. He averaged 26.6 points and 4.7 assists per game while shooting 46.8% from the field, 39.3% from beyond the arc and 92.3% from the free-throw line.
A four-time NBA champion, Curry is expected to retire with the Warriors. The two-time MVP and one-time Finals MVP enters next season with career averages of 24.8 points and 6.3 assists per game in the regular season and 26.8 points and 6.1 assists per game in the playoffs.
Curry turns 39 on March 14, 2027. He’s been in the NBA since 2009. The 12-time All-Star and two-time scoring champion has made the most 3-pointers in NBA history.
The Warriors added Brandon Williams, Georges Niang and Yaxel Lendeborg this offseason. Jimmy Butler is expected to miss most of next season recovering from his ACL tear, so Golden State likely won’t be a championship contender.
