Curry signs 1-year extension worth reported $62.6M

Stephen Curry’s tenure with the Golden State Warriors will last even longer.
The Warriors star and former Kia NBA MVP winner has signed a one-year extension, the team announced Thursday. The deal, worth a reported $62.6 million, will keep him with the team through the 2026-27 season. Curry is guaranteed $178 million over the next three years of his Warriors deal and his extension is expected to be signed today, ESPN reports.

Curry’s contract extension comes approximately three years after he inked a four-year, $215 million extension that marked the second $200 million-plus deal in Curry’s career that includes four NBA titles, two Kia NBA MVP awards and countless records in team and NBA history.
Curry is now guaranteed about $178 million for the next three seasons; about $55.8 million for this season, about $59.6 million for 2025-26 and now about $62.6 million — the most the Warriors could offer by league rule — for 2026-27.
When that season ends, Curry’s on-court earnings will have reached about $532 million, which for now ranks as second-most in NBA history behind only LeBron James’ $580 million in player contracts.
Last season, Curry averaged 26.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.1 assists while shooting 45% overall and 40.8% on 3-pointers. He led the NBA in clutch scoring and was the recipient of the 2023-24 Kia NBA Clutch Player of the Year award. He led the league in several clutch categories, including points (189), 3-pointers (32) and field goals made (59), hitting 49.6% from the field, 45.7% from 3-point range and 39-of-41 from the free throw line (95.1%).
The 2023-24 season marked Curry’s 15th with the franchise and he was an All-Star for the 10th time in his career. He is the NBA’s all-time leader in 3-pointers (made and attempted) and won Finals MVP honors in 2022 after leading Golden State to its most recent championship.
Golden State is entering a new era in 2024-25 after Curry’s longtime “Splash Bros.” teammate, Klay Thompson, left for the Dallas Mavericks in free agency over the summer via a sign-and-trade deal. Draymond Green — a key part of the Curry and Thompson era — will be a part of the team this season as it tries to build around youngsters Jonathan Kuminga, Brandin Podziemski and Trayce Jackson-Davis.
