Overview
- The Warriors and Stephen Curry confirmed a two-year, $116 million extension late Friday that includes a player option for the 2028-29 season and keeps Curry under contract through at least 2027-28.
- Reports say Curry accepted about $20 million below the two-year maximum to give the team more cap room for the 2027 offseason.
- The deal was limited to two years because the NBA’s over‑38 rule restricts older players to that extension window.
- Curry’s right‑knee condition and managed minutes plan remain central to how the Warriors will build the roster around him this season.
- With coach Steve Kerr already on a new multi‑year deal and several big contracts expiring in 2027, the extension settles the franchise’s leadership question and moves decision making to the front office for next summer’s roster choices.
