Warriors planning for star guard Stephen Curry to finish career with team
Both sides have previously expressed interest in Curry finishing his career in San Francisco, and little has happened to indicate either party has had a change of heart.
The Golden State Warriors and their star guard Stephen Curry are reportedly planning for the superstar to conclude his illustrious career with the team, according to team general manager Mike Dunleavy. Both organizations have consistently shown a strong desire for Curry to finish his professional journey in San Francisco, and there have been no indications of a change in this stance.
Entering the final year of an expiring contract worth $62.5 million, Curry's decision-making power is somewhat enhanced, should he choose to leave the team. Dunleavy confirmed that Curry has been granted this right, but also reiterated that Curry would be more than welcome to return to the Golden State squad.
"This has always been the message," Dunleavy stated, "and that's what he's been discussing." The team's general manager emphasized that he and owner Joe Lacob would be open to discussions should Curry express a desire to be moved, though he denied any intention to explore such an option.
A 17-year veteran with the Warriors, Curry has expressed his intention to play another couple of seasons, though aging and injuries could pose potential concerns. After playing in at least 70 games for two consecutive seasons, Curry battled injuries during the 2025-26 season, starting only 41 games.
An extension between the Warriors and Curry could be finalized after August 29, when he becomes eligible for up to two additional years and an extra $136.7 million. Both parties seem confident in Curry's unwavering commitment to the team, acknowledging his desire to win and to finish his career as a Warrior.
