Stephen Curry expected to remain with Golden State Warriors
Stephen Curry is expected to remain with the Golden State Warriors for the remainder of his career. Reports indicate that Curry intends to play for a single franchise and maintains significant influence within the organization’s decision-making processes.
However, the specifics of his next contract are complicated by the NBA’s ‘Over-38 Rule’. This Collective Bargaining Agreement provision is designed to prevent salary cap manipulation by limiting the length and structure of contracts for players who will be 38 or older during the deal.
Because of these restrictions, Curry faces a strategic choice: sign an extension now under tighter limits or wait until he becomes an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2027. Waiting could allow Curry to secure a larger three-year maximum contract while providing the Warriors with greater salary cap flexibility to build the roster in the interim.
