Stephen Curry intends to finish his NBA career with the Golden State Warriors, stating he wants to remain with the franchise for the remainder of his playing days as he enters the final year of his current contract, according to statements reported by Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area and covered by BasketSession.
Contract Status and Financial Eligibility
Entering the final year of his contract ahead of the 2026-2027 season—where he is set to earn 62,6 millions de dollars—Stephen Curry has been eligible since August 29 to sign a two-year contract extension worth up to 136,7 millions de dollars, according to reporting by BasketSession. Because of the NBA’s “Over-38” rule, the Warriors are prohibited from offering Curry a deal that would commit the franchise to him for more than three total seasons including the upcoming year. Despite this financial framework, Curry told NBC Sports Bay Area that contract negotiations will not disrupt the team’s preparations.
Front Office Perspective and Roster Outlook
Golden State Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. stated earlier in August that he is “pretty confident” the four-time NBA champion will conclude his career with the franchise, according to BasketSession. Entering the 2026-2027 campaign, Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green face the final year of their respective contracts, with the trio accounting for $147 million in combined salary for the upcoming season, as reported by BasketSession. Sportive challenges face the roster early in the year, as Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody are slated to miss the initial stretch of games due to injuries. Despite these uncertainties and a previous season that required the play-in tournament following a 43-game campaign for Curry, the guard prepares for his 18th NBA season with the clear objective of maintaining his lifelong tenure in San Francisco.
