Stephen Curry, the renowned point guard and star player of the Golden State Warriors, has committed his future to the team by signing a one-year contract extension. This move guarantees his presence on the court until the 2026-27 season, adding another chapter to his already storied career.
The extension, valued at approximately $62.6 million, is a testament to Curry’s exceptional talent and impact on the game. This latest deal follows a four-year, $215 million extension signed three years ago, making this the second time in his career that Curry has secured a contract exceeding $200 million. These lucrative deals reflect his immense value to the Warriors and the league.
Curry’s accolades include four NBA championships, two NBA MVP awards, and countless records throughout his illustrious career. His impact extends beyond statistics, as he is widely recognized for his revolutionary three-point shooting and his ability to inspire fans around the world.
With this extension, Curry is now guaranteed $178 million over the next three seasons, solidifying his place as one of the highest-paid players in NBA history. By the end of the 2026-27 season, his on-court earnings will reach an estimated $532 million, placing him second only to LeBron James’ $580 million in total player contracts.
Curry’s exceptional performance has been consistently impressive throughout his career. He recently won a gold medal as a member of Team USA Men’s Basketball at the 2024 Summer Olympics and continues to excel on the court. Last season, he averaged an impressive 26.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per game while maintaining a high shooting percentage.
His clutch play was recognized with the 2023-24 Kia NBA Clutch Player of the Year award, highlighting his ability to perform under pressure. Curry’s impact on the Warriors’ success is undeniable, as he led the team to its most recent championship in 2022 and earned Finals MVP honors for his exceptional performance.
The 2023-24 season marked Curry’s 15th with the Warriors franchise, and he was selected as an All-Star for the 10th time in his career. He holds the distinction of being the NBA’s all-time leader in both three-pointers made and attempted. His continued excellence has earned him a spot in the top three of NBA 2K25’s Top 10 Player Ratings, cementing his status as one of the game’s most respected and talented players.
