Overview
- Multiple outlets report this week that Curry’s right knee from last season remains a concern that requires ongoing management, though team trainers and Curry believe it can be controlled and he projects to play the majority of games.
- Curry became extension-eligible in late August and has not signed, with a two-year offer worth roughly $136.7 million on the table and the Warriors giving him multiple contract structures to choose from.
- ESPN and team insiders say Golden State is effectively presenting a ‘menu’ of options—one year, two years, or waiting—and that Curry retains control over the timing and length of any deal.
- The Warriors ran a quiet offseason and re-signed core veterans rather than adding a star, which raises the stakes on Curry’s health and extension for the team’s short-term chances to return to contention.
- What to watch: whether Curry accepts a max, takes a discount, or delays signing, and whether his knee holds up under the planned load-management approach, because those choices will shape playing availability, roster moves, and 2027 cap options.
