Golden State Warriors veteran Stephen Curry has finalized a two-year, $116 million contract extension with the franchise, featuring a player option for the 2028-29 season, according to sources who spoke with ESPN’s Shams Charania.
On August 29, Curry became eligible for an extension worth up to two years and $136.7 million, based on his current one-year, $62.6 million deal. The Warriors quickly provided him with several options, including maximum salary, slightly reduced compensation, or the flexibility to postpone his decision, depending on the front office’s future financial maneuverability.
The 38-year-old spent nearly a month evaluating his options and informed ESPN on Wednesday that he sought “no drama” as the team approaches the season.
The Warriors are set to begin practice next week in Hawaii and will open the regular season on October 21 against the Lakers in Los Angeles.
Now entering his 18th NBA season, Curry was limited to 43 games last year due to persistent pain and swelling in his right knee. Despite the injury, he still averaged 26.6 points, 4.7 assists, and 3.6 rebounds per game while shooting 46.8% from the field. This week in San Diego, he attended a team function organized by teammate Jimmy Butler and confirmed his body is prepared for training camp.
“The idea of getting back to work is exciting,” Curry said Wednesday. “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. … But I’m excited about getting back to work.”
