Details emerge on Steph Curry’s expected new contract

Steph Curry will likely be getting (what could be his final) bag.

The Golden State Warriors superstar Curry is expected to get a new max contract extension from the team, Anthony Slater of ESPN reported this week in an appearance on 95.7 The Game. Slater added that it would be more surprising if Curry took a pay cut and noted that the Warriors would still have a lot of flexibility even if they maxed out Curry.

Now 38 years old, the former NBA MVP Curry is entering his final season under contract in 2026-27 at $62.6 million. He is currently eligible for a new extension from the Warriors however, and his max number would be for two years and roughly $136.7 million.

Even if those numbers would be staggering for a player who is nearing 40, Golden State will indeed have plenty of flexibility after this season. In particular, Jimmy Butler ($56.8 million), Draymond Green ($27.7 million), and possibly Kristaps Porzingis ($20 million with an additional $20 million player option for 2027-28) will all be coming off the books.

Curry still performed at an All-Star level last season, averaging 26.6 points per game on 47/39/92 shooting splits. The four-time NBA champion has also indicated publicly that he still remains fully committed to the Warriors.

But the flip side of the coin for Curry is his health as he missed nearly half of last season due to a persistent right knee injury. There are even some troubling signs that the knee could still be bothering Curry up until now, so the Warriors will have some risk assessment to do in determining whether or not to ultimately max out The Chef.
