Stephen Curry stands out as one of the best veteran superstars in the NBA. And even though he is nearing the end of his career, the Golden State Warriors guard doesn\u2019t think he is close hanging up his jersey just yet.<\/p>\n
At age 37, Curry is one of those stars where his time in the NBA is nearing its end. While he has pulled off incredible heights to keep playing at a high level, it is inevitable that he will walk away from the game within the next five years.<\/p>\n
At the moment, Curry is perfectly fine with going at it for a few more years. He even expressed as much during one of his media interviews, showing how he continues to love the game of basketball even after many years.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the question you ask yourself every morning,\u201d Curry said during a conversation<\/a> with ABC7 News Bay Area. \u201cYou wake up, and you want to, you know, go spend some time in the gym and keep working on your craft. I still love it, so it\u2019s not really a question of urgency now.<\/p>\n \u201cBut, you know, I got some advice from some pros who extended their careers\u2014it\u2019s like, you just take it every two years and give everything you\u2019ve got to it, and then you kind of reassess at that point. So, I\u2019m starting a new cycle over, and you know the work you have to put in to stay at your level.\u201d<\/p>\n Responding to the very next question on whether retirement would be coming soon for him, Curry\u2019s answer was what many anticipated: \u201cNope.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n What Lies Ahead For Stephen Curry, Warriors GettyStephen Curry #30 of the Golden State Warriors holds his thumb against the Houston Rockets during the third quarter in Game Four of the Western Conference First Round NBA Playoffs at Chase Center on April 28, 2025 in San Francisco, California.

While retirement will remain in the conversation, he\u2019s currently at the place he wants to be with the Warriors.<\/p>\n Curry will approach the 17th season of his professional career, coming off of another All-NBA campaign. He averaged 24.5 points, six assists and 4.4 rebounds per game after 70 appearances. He shot 44.8% from the field, including 39.7% from beyond the arc, and 93.3% from the free-throw line.<\/p>\n Standing tall as the best 3-point shooter the league has ever seen, Curry will hope to compete for one more championship to add to his tally of four titles. With just a few years remaining on his timeline, it is clear that Golden State is trying to accommodate him by firmly being in the playoff picture.<\/p>\n They could have made a deep run in the last postseason. Golden State beat the Houston Rockets in seven games and were on pace to possibly beat the Minnesota Timberwolves until Curry suffered a hamstring strain in Game 1. The injury sidelined him for the rest of the postseason as the Timberwolves dispatched the Warriors in five games.<\/p>\n That situation is why Golden State will have to figure out ways to lessen Curry\u2019s workload. While he\u2019s more than capable of providing incredible displays at his age, it will be imperative that they give him a strong supporting cast that can win games on both his best and worst nights.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tRichard Pereira<\/a> Richard Pereira joined Heavy Sports in May 2025 as a Sports Writer.
