In a move that solidifies his legacy with the Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry is set to ink a monumental one-year, $62.6 million contract extension this Thursday, as confirmed by his agent Jeff Austin to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. This deal not only keeps Curry in Warriors colors through the 2026-27 season but also marks a significant milestone, making him the first player in history to bag over $60 million for a single season come 2026-27.

At 36 years old and with an illustrious career that has often seen him underpaid during the early victorious years of the Warriors’ dynasty, Curry has been leading as the NBA’s top earner since the 2017-18 season and is on track to maintain this status for an impressive decade.

This extension escalates Curry’s career earnings to an eye-watering $532.7 million by the end of the 2026-27 season, catapulting him into a rarefied circle alongside LeBron James and potentially Kevin Durant and Paul George in future seasons. An interesting twist to this tale is that Curry’s contract will now expire concurrently with Draymond Green’s, provided Green opts into his $27.7 million player option for the same season.

The strategic timing of these contracts leaves Golden State with a clear deck beyond that year, barring Buddy Hield’s $10.1 million option for 2027-28. Meanwhile, Coach Steve Kerr finds himself under contract only until the 2025-26 season, hinting at potential shifts in the team’s leadership dynamic in near future.

Curry’s commitment comes on the back of his scintillating performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics where he, alongside LeBron James and Kevin Durant, spearheaded Team USA to gold with unmatched prowess from beyond the arc. With an average of 26.4 points per game last season and recognition in his 10th All-NBA team, Curry remains an indomitable force in basketball despite uncertainties about Golden State’s championship odds following key roster changes.

The departure of Klay Thompson and Chris Paul marks an end of an era but acquisitions like De’Anthony Melton, Kyle Anderson, and Buddy Hield might offer new tactical advantages even as high-profile trade pursuits like those for Paul George and Lauri Markkanen fell through.

Looking ahead, Golden State seems poised for more maneuvers with Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody eligible for rookie contract extensions before the upcoming regular season kicks off. This development period could be pivotal for shaping not just Curry’s concluding chapters with the Warriors but also setting up new dynastic aspirations for one of NBA’s most storied franchises.
