Stephen Curry Makes NBA History After Signing New Warriors Contract: Report
With his new Golden State Warriors contract extension, Stephen Curry has reportedly made history with his on-court earnings.
Stephen Curry is making NBA history before the 2026-27 season even begins. The NBA star has signed a new contract extension with the Golden State Warriors, according to ESPN's NBA insider, Shams Charania. The two-year deal is valued at $116 million, with a player option for the 2028-29 season. Sources reveal that Curry accepted $20 million less than his maximum salary, making him the first player in NBA history to have $600 million-plus in on-court earnings.
Curry, 38, enters his 18th season with the Warriors, joining an elite group of players like LeBron James and Kevin Durant, both valued at $598 million and $592 million, respectively. Despite last season's playoff absence, Curry remains one of the league's most sought-after players, boasting four championship rings, two Most Valuable Player awards, and 12 All-Star selections.
The Warriors, while no longer at the peak of their dynasty, now have Jimmy Butler returning from injury and rookie Yaxel Lendeborg. This flexibility could allow them to pursue free agents or explore trades in the upcoming season. The Warriors are set to begin their preseason on Oct. 4 against the Los Angeles Clippers, with the regular NBA season kicking off on Oct. 21 against the Lakers.
