The Golden State Warriors have agreed to a one-year contract extension with superstar point guard Stephen Curry, but the money is questionable.
Golden State has reportedly signed Curry to a one-year, $62.6 million extension, which will be added to his current contract, his agent told ESPN.
Curry's current contract runs through the 2025-26 season and will pay him $55.8 million this season and just under $60 million in the final year.

So, in the spirit of increasing Curry's salary each season, this new extension will see that continue into 2026-27.
Currently, the Warriors are not allowed to pay Curry more than that due to the league's over-38 rule, which states that a team cannot sign a contract for more than three years total if he turns 38 during the contract period.

Conversely, this marks the longest term and most money the Warriors could give to a franchise legend.
Curry, 36, is aging like a fine wine in the NBA, but he continues to perform like an All-Star every year. The shooter also had success with the U.S. at the 2024 Paris Olympics, famously putting France to sleep with a killer three-pointer in the gold medal game to seal the win.

But this season will be much different for Curry after “Splash Brother” Klay Thompson, who played a key role in the Warriors' four championships since 2015, joined the Dallas Mavericks this offseason.
The Warriors finished 10th in the Western Conference last season with a 46-36 record and failed to reach the first round of the playoffs, losing in the play-in tournament.
So Curry is looking to stay healthy and become a focal point for a team searching for the right pieces to get back into championship contention.

Either way, Golden State is sure not to give any other team a chance to add Curry to their team in the near future — he's committed to the Warriors for life, and the fee signals the team's commitment to the future NBA Hall of Famer.
