What happened: The Golden State Warriors finalized a two-year, $116 million maximum extension with Stephen Curry. The franchise confirmed the move Friday, which was capped in length due to the NBA's over-38 rule. The agreement features a player option for the 2028-29 season.
Why it matters: The pact ensures the defining face of the Warriors will remain in the Bay Area through his 20th professional season. Tacking this onto his existing contract brings the total commitment to $178.6 million through the 2028-29 campaign. He joins a rare group of players to spend two full decades with a single franchise.
By the numbers: Curry has averaged 20 or more points per game in each of the last 14 seasons. Only six players in NBA history, a group that includes Lebron James and Michael Jordan, have recorded more 20-plus-point campaigns during their careers.
What to watch: Golden State will continue to construct its roster around Curry heading into the 2026-27 season.
