Curry agrees to one-year, $62.6 million extension with Golden State Warriors
CALIFORNIA: Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry has agreed to a one-year contract extension worth $62.6 million, ensuring his tenure with the team extends through the 2026-27 NBA season. This extension, confirmed by Curry’s agent Jeff Austin, was reported by ESPN on Thursday.
The 36-year-old point guard had two years remaining on his current four-year, $215.4 million deal, signed in August 2021. Due to the NBA’s “over-38 rule,” Curry was only eligible for a one-year extension this offseason, as he will turn 38 during the life of the contract on March 14, 2026.
Curry, a two-time NBA Most Valuable Player, has been a pivotal figure for the Warriors, leading the team to four NBA championships. In the 2023-24 season, his 15th with the franchise, he averaged 26.4 points, 5.1 assists, and 4.5 rebounds across 74 games.
Widely regarded as the greatest shooter in NBA history, Curry holds the league’s all-time record for 3-point field goals, with 3,747 made. He also leads the Warriors in multiple statistical categories, including points (23,668), assists (6,119), steals (1,473), and games played (956).
