For years the NBA’s most prolific shooter has repeatedly told fans he wants to finish his career in the golden state Warriors jersey. His actions now echo those words: on Monday the team announced a fresh agreement that ties the 38-year-old guard to the franchise for at least two more seasons.
The extension, reported by ESPN and verified by Spotrac is worth $116 million and contains a player option for the 2028-29 season. By choosing a contract that falls short of the maximum two-year, $136 million figure, Curry leaves room on the payroll for the Warriors to pursue additional talent around his leadership.
Contract specifics and career earnings
This is Curry’s sixth deal with Golden State. The new agreement builds on a previous four-year, $44 million rookie extension that proved a bargain after his early-career ankle woes faded. According to Spotrac the latest terms push his projected career earnings to roughly $646 million, a figure that would rank him among the NBA’s most highly compensated players.
Statistically, Curry remains elite. Even after a runner’s knee limited him to 43 games last season, he posted a lofty 26.6 points per game and earned an All-Star selection. The 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2022 championship titles are already etched in his résumé, and the 2028-29 option ensures he can continue to add to that legacy.
Impact on the Warriors’ roster strategy
The timing of the deal follows a busy offseason for Golden State. The franchise failed to land LeBron James but it re-signed core pieces such as Draymond GreenKristaps PorzingisDe’Anthony Melton and Al Horford. Head coach Steve Kerr also returned, and the team added promising rookie Yaxel Lendeborg in the draft.
General Manager Mike Dunleavy emphasized that Curry’s commitment eliminates any speculation about a possible move. “There are two things I’m confident about with Steph: He really, really wants to win, and he wants to finish his career as a Warrior,” Dunleavy said, adding that the organization respects whatever decision Curry makes in the future.
One-franchise legacy
By sealing this contract, Curry joins an exclusive club of NBA icons who spent their entire careers with a single team—Dirk NowitzkiKobe Bryant and Tim Duncan are the most notable examples. This will be his 18th season since being selected seventh
In short, the two-year, $116 million extension not only secures Curry’s future but also gives the Warriors financial leeway to stay competitive. As the franchise looks toward the next draft and free-agency window, the message is clear: Golden State intends to build around its greatest ever scorer while keeping the door open for complementary pieces.
