Warriors star forward working with trusted trainer to improve key area of his game for next…

According to NBA reporter Tim Kawakami of The Athletic, the Golden State Warriors can sign Stephen Curry to a one-year, $62.6 million extension this offseason.

Curry, the greatest shooter in NBA history, signed a four-year, $215 million extension with the Warriors in August 2021. He’ll make $55.8 million next season and $59.6 million in 2025-26.

A future Hall of Famer, Curry is currently set to become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason of 2026.

“We have not discussed it. He’s busy right now and he should stay busy and focused on that with the Olympics,” Warriors owner Joe Lacob said. “But if he wants to talk about that, that’s up to him. He’s not said that at all, but if he wants to, we’ll certainly entertain that discussion. … Let’s put it this way, Steph Curry I fully anticipate he’ll be a Warrior for life. I thought Klay was going to be, too, but I was wrong.

“And I think Steph has been … what he’s meant to this franchise has been tremendous and it’s every intention of ours to see him play as long as he wants to play and as long as he is able to play at the level he’s continued to play. He’s incredible shape, so I have no reason to believe that he couldn’t play quite a bit longer. Maybe he’s Tom Brady.”

The Warriors missed the playoffs in 2024. They lost the 9-10 play-in tournament game to the Sacramento Kings.

Curry appeared in 74 games this past season. He averaged 26.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.1 assists while shooting 45.0% from the field, 40.8% from beyond the arc and 92.3% from the free-throw line.

The Warriors drafted Curry with the seventh overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft. Curry, who turns 37 next season, has career averages of 24.8 points, 4.7 rebounds and 6.4 assists. He’s won four championships, two MVPs, one Finals MVP and two scoring titles.
