Stephen Curry will sign a one-year, $62.6 million contract extension with the Golden State Warriors on Thursday, his agent, Jeff Austin, told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The deal will keep him under contract through the 2026-27 season, during which Curry will turn 39 years old.
Curry, 36, signed a four-year, $215 million contract with the Warriors in 2022. He is now set to earn $178 million guaranteed over the next three seasons. He is projected to be the first player to earn more than $60 million in a single season in 2026-27.
After being underpaid for the first few seasons of Golden State’s dynastic run, Curry has been the NBA’s highest-paid player since the 2017-18 season. The four-time NBA champion now projects to hold that title for 10 consecutive seasons.
The extension will increase Curry’s career earnings to $532.7 million in 2026-27, which will put him in an extremely exclusive club, per Spotrac. LeBron James will be the first player to pass the $500 million mark this coming season, and Kevin Durant will be less than $200,000 short in 2025-26, so if he plays another season, he will join the club when Curry does. Paul George’s current deal will get him there in 2027-28.
Curry’s contract will now expire at the same time as Draymond Green’s, assuming Green picks up his $27.7 million player option for the 2026-27 season. The Warriors currently have no contracts on their books beyond that year, save for Buddy Hield’s $10.1 million 2027-28 player option, of which only $3.1 million is guaranteed. Golden State coach Steve Kerr, however, is only under contract through the 2025-26 season.
This news follows Curry’s spectacular performance in Team USA’s two final games of the 2024 Paris Olympics. Alongside James and Durant, Curry scored a total of 60 points and shot 17 for 26 from 3-point range in wins over Serbia and France, leading the United States to a gold medal in his first Olympic appearance.
Last season with the Warriors, Curry averaged 26.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and 6.1 assists in 74 games and made his 10th All-NBA team. Curry,…
