Stephen Curry contract details: Stephen Curry signs one-year, $62.6 million contract extension with Warriors

Stephen Curry, the Warriors’ superstar, isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. He has secured a one-year, $62.6 million contract extension, keeping him with Golden State through the 2026-27 season, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

As the greatest shooter in NBA history, Curry will continue to add to his already legendary Warriors legacy. This new deal will take him through his age-38 season, marking 18 years with the team.

Despite his years in the league, Curry showed this offseason that he’s still got plenty of gas in the tank. He led the United States to a gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics and continued to deliver stellar performances for the Warriors last season, averaging 26.4 points, 5.1 assists, 4.5 rebounds, and 4.8 three-pointers per game. His efforts earned him a spot on the All-NBA Third Team and the 2024 Clutch Player of the Year award.

For more on Curry’s substantial contract extension, here’s what you need to know:

Curry’s one-year, $62.6 million extension keeps him in a Warriors uniform through the 2026-27 season. The reason for the one-year term is due to the NBA’s “over-38” rule, which restricts teams from offering contracts of four or more years to players who will be 38 or older during the contract’s term. Since Curry had two years left on his current deal and will turn 38 during the extension period, the Warriors were unable to offer a longer contract beyond 2026-27.

When this extension kicks in, Curry’s $62.6 million salary will make him the highest-paid player in the league for that season. Additionally, this new deal pushes Curry’s career earnings over the $500 million mark, placing him in an elite group with LeBron James and Kevin Durant as the only players in NBA history to reach that milestone.
