Stephen Curry, 38, is in the final year of a contract and the Golden State Warriors want to agree on an extension that would keep him with the franchise for the rest of his career. Both outlets report that Curry has expressed a desire to remain with the Warriors and is aiming to play for at least a couple more years. Warriors executives indicate they are optimistic, while the timing of any new deal remains uncertain.
Curry is set to complete a contract extension worth about $62.6 million for the 2026-27 season, signed in August 2024. The Athletic notes that Curry is entering the final year of a max contract of nearly $63 million. The Inquirer adds that Curry becomes eligible for a two-year extension on Aug. 29, suggesting negotiations could follow that eligibility window rather than being finalized immediately.
While both outlets align on the core points—Curry’s stated preference to stay and the Warriors’ desire to extend—the coverage differs in emphasis: one highlights executive optimism and the “finish career” framing, while the other focuses on the contract timeline and approaching the 2026-27 start.
