On the eve of his 18th season, Curry commits on a new extension honoring his desire to finish his NBA career with the Warriors. He also took $20 million less than his maximum salary, per @BobbyMarks42, accepting a deal that now gives the Warriors significant cap space next summer. Golden State presented Curry with a slew of options -- max deals, discounted salaries for team-building upside, or waiting into the season or next offseason. But both sides land on a critical extension to bring clarity on the season and lock in Curry for year 19 and potentially 20.
Stephen Curry has agreed to a two-year, $116 million contract extension with Golden State Warriors that includes a player option for 2028-29, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania, who cited sources Friday. Charania also reported that Curry accepted $20 million less than his maximum salary.
Curry’s 2025-26 production remained among the league’s strongest. In 43 games, including 41 starts, the guard averaged 30.9 minutes, 26.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 4.7 assists. He posted a 63.7 true shooting percentage and a 32.6 usage percentage, carrying a large share of Golden State’s possessions when he played.
His Keel Impact was 3.3, ranking 27th of 379 players with 500 minutes or more. Keel Impact measures the production a player adds compared with an average player. Golden State Warriors went 37-45 in 2025-26, with a -0.6 net rating, the difference between its offensive and defensive efficiency. That ranked 20th among 30 teams; the Warriors were 18th in offensive rating and 17th in defensive rating.
Charania reported that Golden State presented Curry with options that included maximum contracts, reduced salaries that could aid roster construction, or waiting until the season or next offseason. He said the reported extension is intended to provide clarity for the season and keep Curry with the Warriors for his 19th season and potentially his 20th.
