Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry has reportedly agreed to a one-year, $62.6 million extension that will see him remain with the franchise through the 2026–27 season.
The 36-year-old, who starred at the Paris 2024 Olympics for the United States, is now guaranteed about $178 million for the next three years and will join LeBron James and Kevin Durant as the only NBA players to reach the $500 million salary mark.

Curry, who will earn the most money heading into the 2024-25 NBA season, with about $55.8m guaranteed for the incoming season, will earn about $59.6m for 2025-26 and now about $62.6m for 2026-27—the most the Warriors could offer by league rule—earmarking his importance to the Bay Area team.
At the end of the 2026–27 season, his career earnings will reach about $532 million, putting him behind only James ($580 million) as the second-most paid player in NBA history.
Three years ago, the two-time NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) signed a four-year $215 million extension that marked the second $200 million-plus deal in Curry’s career.
Entering into his 16th season, the NBA’s all-time three-point scorer has won possibly every honour in the game, which includes four NBA titles, two MVP awards, one NBA Finals MVP, one All-Star MVP, an Olympic medal, as well as countless other records in both the NBA and Warriors franchise history.
Curry, a 10-time All-Star, a two-time scoring champion, and a 10-time All-NBA selection, averaged 26.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 5.1 assists while shooting 45% from the field and 40.8% on 3-pointers last season. Across his career, he is averaging 24.8 points and 42.6% on 3s.
He led the NBA in clutch scoring and was subsequently awarded the 2023–24 NBA Clutch Player of the Year award. He led the league in several clutch categories, including points (189), 3-pointers (32) and field goals made (59), hitting 49.6% from the field, 45.7% from 3-point range, and 39-of-41 from the free throw line (95.1%).
