The Golden State Warriors and NBA all-time leading scorer in 3-point field goals, Stephen Curry, have extended his contract through the 2026–27 season, with a salary of roughly $63 million.On Thursday, the arrangement was verified to the Associated Press by Curry’s agent, Jeff Austin of Octagon. The agreement between Curry and the Warriors was first reported by ESPN.

Including this season’s $55.8 million, next year’s $59.6 million, and the maximum amount the Warriors are allowed to give by league rule—$62.6 million—in 2026–27, Curry is now guaranteed approximately $178 million for the next three seasons.

Currently, Curry’s on-court earnings of around $532 million will put him in second place all-time in NBA history, behind only LeBron James’ $580 million in player contracts, when that season concludes.

Curry, who is 36 years old, will be playing in his 16th NBA season, all with the Warriors. He has been named to the All-Star team ten times and to the All-NBA team ten times; he has won two MVP awards and was a part of four Golden State championship teams. His spectacular performance in the fourth quarter of the final game against France was just one of many highlights of his summer as an Olympic gold medalist with the United States national team in Paris.

His career regular-season point average is 24.8, and he had 26.4 last year with the Warriors.

Warriors Sign Stephen Curry to One-Year Extension

The Over-38 rule constrained Curry’s extension to just one year. He had a salary of $55.8MM in 2024/25 and $59.6MM in 2025/26 already locked into his contract for the following two seasons. Since his contract extension extends until the 2026–27 season, he will not be eligible for free agency until that year.

Since Curry will be entitled for a 5% raise on his prior contract—even if that amount will exceed that season’s league-wide maximum—his salary on the one-year extension will not be influenced by where the ’26/27 cap settles.

Curry, who is generally considered the best shooter in NBA history, averaged 24.8 points, 4.7 rebounds, 6.4 assists, and 1.5 steals in 956 regular season games (34.2 minutes per game) while shooting.473/.426/.910. Throughout his fifteen-year NBA career, the guard has been with the Warriors. He is a 10-time All-NBA selection, has won four titles, and has been to the NBA Finals six times.

In the 2023–24 season, the Warriors had both highs and lows. The Kings eliminated them from the play-in competition when they went 46–36. Despite his advanced years, the 36-year-old maintained an impressive level of play, appearing in 74 regular season games (32.7 minutes) and averaged 26.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 5.1 assists on a shooting percentage of.450,.408, and.923. Curry was recognized for his performances with an All-NBA Third Team selection.

In 2024, Curry had a breakout performance for Team USA at the Olympics in Paris, where he won gold after cruising to victories in the semifinals (against Serbia) and final (against France). He clearly came through in a big way when it mattered most, after struggling for most of the tournament leading up to those games.

The new agreement will bring Curry’s career on-court earnings beyond $500 million, making him one of three players—with LeBron James and Kevin Durant—to do so, according to ESPN’s Bobby Marks.

The Warriors’ general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr., owner Joe Lacob, and 6’2″ guard Curry all want him to finish his legendary career with the team. Both parties are now one step closer to accomplishing that goal thanks to the extended agreement.
