Stephen Curry is entering the final year of his contract with the Golden State Warriors, set to earn $62.5 million for the 2026-27 NBA season [1, 2, 3]. On August 29, 2026, Curry will become eligible for a contract extension of up to two years and $136.7 million [1, 4, 2, 5, 3]. Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. has reiterated confidence that Curry will stay in Golden State for his entire NBA career and remain loyal to the organization.
Dunleavy said, “(Staying has) always been the message. That’s always been what he’s discussed. I think that’s tracking quite well” [1]. He also stated, "Ultimately it's his call, his decision... if he comes to me and wants to be moved, [controlling owner] Joe [Lacob] and I will talk it through. We wouldn't love it. But he's earned the right to do what he wants" [2].
Curry has publicly expressed a desire to play a couple more seasons and hopes to finish his career with the Warriors [1, 2, 3]. As of March 14, 2026, Curry is 38 years old and struggled with injuries last season, playing only 41 to 43 games [1, 4, 2, 3]. The Warriors missed the playoffs in the 2025-26 season with a 37-45 record [1].
During a quiet offseason, the Warriors re-signed key veterans including Draymond Green, Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford, De'Anthony Melton, and Gary Payton II, despite missing out on pursuing LeBron James [4, 2, 3]. Two starting wings, Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody, suffered serious knee injuries last season and face extended absences next season [4, 2]. Warriors management has acknowledged risks tied to player health but values talent in shaping the roster [4, 2].
Curry’s contract extension window opens on August 29, 2026, when the team and player can decide on terms up to two years and $136.7 million [1, 4, 2, 5, 3]. This date will be critical in determining whether Curry continues with Golden State or explores other options.
