Steph Curry isn’t leaving the Golden State Warriors any time soon.
Curry has signed a one-year, $62.6-million extension with the Warriors, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported Thursday.
The deal will keep Curry with the Warriors through the 2026-27 season.
Curry, 36, is now guaranteed $178 million over the next three seasons.
With the Warriors missing last season’s playoffs after crashing out from the play-in tournament and the subsequent departure of Curry’s long-time partner in crime Klay Thompson, some wondered if Curry’s days in San Francisco could be numbered too.
But after Thursday’s deal, Curry will remain the face of the franchise for at least the next three seasons.
Curry proved his best days are far from over this off-season, when he helped lead the United States to an Olympic gold medal in men’s basketball. The four-time NBA champion hit four clutch three-pointers in the final three minutes of the gold-medal game to help the U.S. defeat France.
Despite Golden States’ struggles last season, Curry was far from the problem. Over 74 games, he averaged 26.4 points, 5.1 assists and 4.7 rebounds.
For his efforts, Curry was named the NBA’s 2023-24 Clutch Player of the Year, adding that award to a resume that includes two MVPs, an All-Star Game MVP, an NBA Finals MVP, a Western Conference Finals MVP and nine All-NBA selections.
Curry led the league in clutch scoring — defined as points in the last five minutes of the fourth quarter or in overtime, with the score differential in the game being five points or fewer — with 189 points.
The Warriors will have their hands full in a stacked Western Conference next season, but with Curry at the helm, it would be unfair to count them out.
