**Steph Curry Extends Warriors Tenure**
Steph Curry has officially extended his career with the Golden State Warriors by signing a one-year contract extension worth $62.6 million USD. This deal will keep him with the Warriors through the 2026-27 NBA season. The extension ensures Curry’s commitment to the team, reflecting his long-standing desire to retire as a Warrior.
**Contract Details and Career Earnings**
The extension increases Curry’s guaranteed earnings to $178 million USD over the next three years. This new deal is added to his existing two-year, $215.4 million USD contract that began in August 2021. The extension adheres to the NBA’s over-38 rule, which limits contracts to four years for players who will turn 38 during the contract term. At 36 years old, Curry remains under this rule’s threshold.
**Career Achievements and Future Prospects**
Curry is coming off a significant achievement—a gold medal from the Olympics, his first in that competition. With this extension, he is set to become the fourth NBA player to surpass $500 million USD in career earnings, joining notable figures like LeBron James and Kevin Durant. As he enters his 16th season, Curry boasts impressive stats from the previous season, including 26.4 points per game and 40.8% shooting from three-point range. With Klay Thompson moving to the Dallas Mavericks, Curry will lead a new chapter for the Warriors, continuing to build on his legacy as a four-time NBA champion and 10-time All-Star.
