What happened: Stephen Curry has agreed to a two-year, $116 million contract extension with the Golden State Warriors. ESPN's Shams Charania reports the agreement includes a player option for the 2028-29 season. The transaction guarantees the two-time MVP remains with the franchise that drafted him through his 20th professional campaign.
Why it matters: The commitment ensures Curry anchors Golden State well past his late 30s. Securing a Curry extension this year removes the possibility of contract negotiations lingering into the regular season. It solidifies the franchise cornerstone through the remainder of the decade.
By the numbers: Curry is one of 12 players in NBA history to play 20 or more seasons. The guard has averaged 20 or more points per game in each of the last 14 seasons, a feat accomplished by only six other players.
What to watch: The Warriors enter training camp with their leader under contract. Focus now shifts to how Golden State will arrange its rotation around Curry ahead of opening night.
