Steph Curry Signs 2-Year, $116 Million Warriors Extension as Golden State Faces 37-45 Reality

3 articles · Updated · Bleacher Report · Sep 26

Summary

  • $116 million keeps Stephen Curry with Golden State for two more years, with the new extension including a player option for 2028-29.
  • Curry had been on track for free agency next summer and was eligible for as much as $136.7 million over two years, meaning he accepted less than the maximum to stay.
  • The deal reaffirms his commitment despite a 37-45 season, a play-in exit and questions about whether the current roster can contend for another title.
  • Golden State's path back still looks narrow, with 36-year-old Jimmy Butler returning from a torn ACL and the front office previously exploring blockbuster options such as Giannis Antetokounmpo.
