Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors have agreed to a two-year, $116 million contract extension that will keep the franchise star with the team through the 2028-29 season, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.
The extension includes a player option for the final season. Curry, who is entering the final year of his current $62.6 million contract, was eligible to sign a two-year extension worth up to $136.7 million.
He ultimately agreed to a deal below his maximum extension, giving the Warriors additional salary-cap flexibility while securing his future with the only NBA team he has played for.
Curry Chooses Security Over Maximum Deal
The Warriors presented Curry with several options during the contract discussions, including a maximum extension, a reduced deal and the possibility of waiting until later in the season or into 2027.
Curry ultimately chose to sign before training camp, ending uncertainty over his future with Golden State.
His new contract will pay him $55.7 million in 2027-28 before a $60.2 million player option for 2028-29. The reduced salary is expected to give the Warriors roughly $10 million more in projected cap space next summer.
Jimmy Butler III and Draymond Green also have contracts that expire next offseason, while Kristaps Porzingis has only $3 million of his $20 million salary guaranteed.
The Warriors could therefore have significant room to make moves around Curry depending on their decisions with the rest of the roster.
Curry Remains With Warriors Through 2028-29
Curry has spent his entire 17-year NBA career with Golden State after the Warriors selected him No. 7 overall in the 2009 NBA Draft.
The four-time champion and two-time MVP has consistently expressed a desire to finish his career with the Warriors. The extension ensures he will remain in Golden State for at least the next two seasons beyond his current contract.
“I want to be on a competitive team,” Curry said earlier this week. “I want to have an opportunity to have some flexibility because we haven’t had that in years past.”
The new agreement also pushes Curry’s career on-court earnings to approximately $652 million, making him the first player in NBA history to surpass $600 million in earnings.
Curry Returning After Injury-Shortened Season
Curry enters the new deal following an injury-plagued 2025-26 season. A persistent right knee issue limited him to 43 games, during which he averaged 26.6 points, 4.7 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game.
Curry said he feels healthy heading into training camp and is looking forward to returning to the court.
“The idea of getting back to work is exciting,” Curry said. “I feel like I’ve taken advantage of the offseason. I feel like there’s no hesitation about where I’m at physically going in.”
Curry will turn 39 during the upcoming season and is now under contract with Golden State through at least his age-40 season.
