Stephen Curry Shuts Down Warriors Exit Rumors Amid $136.7 Million Extension Woes; Reconfirms Retirement Plan

January 28, 2026 in Salt Lake City, Utah, Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (30) has silenced speculation about his future with the team. After reports suggesting the front office’s focus on the post-Steph era, 38-year-old Curry has confirmed he will remain with the Warriors. Stephen Curry and his wife Ayesha spoke to NBC Sports’ Dalton Johnson, affirming he's committed to the team for the remainder of his career.

The couple didn’t disclose details about the $136.7 million deal, stating the timing of the contract extension wouldn’t distract from the team's preparations for the upcoming season. Curry remains determined to continue his high-level performance, despite missing games last year. He's looking forward to his 18th NBA season, acknowledging the longevity of his career.

Ayesha noted Curry's dedication, stating he's always ready to get back in the game. While Curry is considering a three-year extension next summer, it's clear he's focused on staying with the Warriors. The key question now is: how long will he continue to play? Curry plans to sign his contract extension sometime between 2027 and 2030, depending on his availability.

His intention is to play until 2030, when he turns 42, although he's been thinking about his career in two-year increments.
