Steph Curry was awarded a well-deserved payday on Thursday.
The veteran guard agreed to a one-year, $62.6 million contract extension with the Golden State Warriors on Thursday, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported, citing Curry's agent, Jeff Austin.
Curry originally was under contract with the Warriors through the 2025-26 NBA season and was set to make approximately $55.7 million this season and $59.6 million in the final year of his deal. Now his new contract will take him through the 2026-27 season alongside longtime teammate Draymond Green and coach Steve Kerr, whose contracts also will expire that summer.
The 36-year-old, coming off a 2023-24 season in which he averaged 26.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game on 45-percent shooting from the field and 40.8 percent from 3-point range, originally was set to be the NBA's highest-paid player over the next two seasons and now is the first player in league history to earn over $60 million in a season.
The 15-year veteran, four-time NBA champion, two-time league MVP and 10-time All-Star isn't going anywhere for the next two seasons, and it appears even more likely he will finish his illustrious career with Golden State.
