Golden State’s general manager, Mike Dunleavy, praised Curry's leadership and community impact, noting that he will be among only four players in NBA history to have played 20 seasons for a single franchise if he reaches his 20th season with the team.

Story summary

Steph Curry, a key player for the Golden State Warriors, has agreed to a two-year contract extension worth $116 million that will take him through the 2028-29 season. The deal falls short of the $136.7 million max contract he was eligible for, indicating some financial sacrifice on Curry's part. Throughout his career spanning 17 seasons with the Warriors, Curry has won four NBA titles and is a two-time MVP. This extension ensures that fans will continue to see him play in San Francisco, as the team emphasized Curry’s unique leadership both on and off the court. The contract comes after speculation about whether this could have been his final season with the organization, given he was entering the final year of his previous four-year, $215.3 million extension starting from 2022.
