New Steph Curry Rumors on Warriors Contract Talks Ahead of Max Extension Eligibility

The Golden State Warriors are willing to discuss a short-term maximum contract extension with Stephen Curry, according to ESPN's Anthony Slater.

"From my understanding, despite the fact that they're liking to keep their salary flexibility open long-term and clean books, Steph Curry's very exclusive to that," Slater reported during a Friday appearance on NBA Today. "You know, if he wants a one-year extension at big money, if he wants a two-year extension, the Warriors are very open to that conversation. I think they want to see how this roster looks in the short-term and long-term and by the time we get to late August when he's eligible, Steph Curry and the Warriors will sit down and decide."

Curry will become eligible to sign a new extension with the Warriors on Aug. 29.

He can receive as much as $136.7 million over two years on his next contract (h/t ESPN's Bobby Marks).

Curry has one season remaining on his current deal, as he's set to receive $62.6 million for his 2026-27 campaign before hitting free agency next summer.

Although the 38-year-old is coming off his 17th season with Golden State, he revealed that he anticipates playing multiple years before retiring from the sport when speaking to reporters in April.

Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. also confirmed that the team was interested in finalizing an extension with Curry and ensuring that he finishes his career with the organization.

"Yeah, that day will come," Dunleavy told reporters on May 15. "But I think we've always stated we want Steph to finish his career here, be here for as long as he wants. I'm sure those conversations will happen, and you can predict where they'll be going. Yeah, I don't see under any scenario where we don't want to figure out a way to have him finish here."

Curry missed significant time during the 2025-26 season due to a knee injury, but was still dominant offensively when healthy.

The two-time MVP averaged 26.6 points, 4.7 assists and 3.6 rebounds per game on 46.8/39.3/92.3 shooting splits.
