Overview
- The Warriors and Stephen Curry agreed to the two‑year, $116 million extension that includes a player option for 2028‑29, a deal first reported late Friday and confirmed by team sources.
- Because Curry is over 38 under the NBA’s collective bargaining rules he was limited to a two‑year window for this extension and could not sign a longer deal in that window.
- Reports say Curry left about $20 million on the table versus the maximum he could have taken and analysts say that discount creates material cap room for Golden State’s 2027 roster planning.
- Curry missed significant time last season with patellofemoral pain in his right knee but remained productive when available, averaging 26.6 points and 4.7 assists in 43 games, so the team will closely manage his health this year.
- The deal locks Curry’s future in San Francisco through at least 2027‑28, pushes his on‑court career earnings past $600 million per salary trackers, and shifts immediate focus to decisions on players such as Draymond Green, Jimmy Butler and Kristaps Porziņģis for next summer.
