Stephen Curry Agrees Two-Year $116 Million Extension With Warriors

He accepted about $20 million less than he could have to create salary-cap space that gives the team more room to shape its roster.

Overview

  • Curry and the Golden State Warriors reached a two-year contract worth $116 million that includes a player option for the 2028/29 season and will begin after his current deal ends.
  • He still carries a separate one-year contract for 2026/27 worth $62.6 million, so the new extension does not take effect until that season concludes.
  • The reported pay cut—roughly $20 million below what he could have sought—was made deliberately to lower the team's projected payroll and improve flexibility for free agency and trades.
  • The deal extends Curry’s career-long tenure with the Warriors into his 18th NBA season and reinforces his stated intent to finish his career in the Bay Area.
  • The agreement was reported by the Associated Press and picked up by outlets including ran.joyn.de and ESPN, which noted the contract terms and the team-cap implications.
