Steph Curry’s new deal: contract details and salary with the Golden State Warriors
Stephen Curry has reached an agreement with the Golden State Warriors on a one-year extension in exchange for a huge amount of money.
Stephen Curry has reached an agreement with the Golden State Warriors to extend his stay with the NBA franchise, signing a one-year, $62.6 million extension that will keep him with the team through 2027. By the time Curry’s deal is up, he will be 39-years-old.
This means “Chef” Curry will remain with the Warriors for 18 seasons, having never played for another team. Curry averages 24.8 points and 6.4 assists per game, with remarkable shooting percentages of 91.0% from the free-throw line and 42.6% from three-point range. Last season, he averaged 26.4 points per game.
Curry has been a standout player in the NBA in recent years: helping to build a dynasty with the Warriors, he has been the NBA’s highest-paid player since the 2017-18 season. During his time with the team, he has won four Larry O’Brien Trophies (2015, 2017, 2018, and 2022), been named MVP of the season twice, and earned Finals MVP honours in 2022.
Over the next two seasons, “Chef” Curry is set to remain one of the highest-paid players in the NBA; the extension will increase Curry’s career earnings to $532.7 million in 2026-27. LeBron James will be the first NBA player ever to pass the $500 million mark, something he will do this season, while Kevin Durant will be less than $200,000 away from that mark in 2025-26.

Such a staggering announcement follows Curry’s remarkable showing in Team USA’s last two games at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
