Overview
- On Aug. 29 Curry became eligible to sign a two-year, $136.7 million maximum extension with the Warriors, and the team has not yet received his signature.
- Curry told NBC Sports Bay Area he wants to finish his career in Golden State and that the contract “will happen at the right time” so it will not be a distraction from the season.
- Analysts and team insiders say a prompt two-year extension would count roughly $65.7 million against the 2027 salary cap in year one and would sharply reduce short-term spending power for upgrades.
- The Warriors have set training camp at BYU–Hawaii and begin preseason plans while managing injuries to rotation players, a reality that both sides say factors into the timing of a new deal.
- Under the NBA’s over-38 rule, waiting until next summer could let Curry sign a three-year, larger contract in free agency, so delaying gives him leverage to maximize long-term value and assess the roster.
