Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry will complete a $62.6-million extension he signed for the 2026-27 season in August 2024 before the new contract takes him through 2029 – which would be his 20th season.Godofredo A. V\u00e1squez\/The Associated Press<\/p>\n

Stephen Curry has agreed to a two-year contract extension worth $116-million that would take him through the 2028-29 season, a person with direct knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Friday night.<\/p>\n

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team had not announced the terms of Curry\u2019s contract. Curry was eligible to command up to $136-million, so he is giving his team a discount as he backs up his longstanding commitment to finish his career with the Warriors.<\/p>\n

Golden State general manager Mike Dunleavy said last month he was optimistic of getting something done with the two-time MVP and NBA career leader in 3-pointers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe couldn\u2019t be more excited about reaching an agreement with Stephen and extending his historic career with the Warriors,\u201d Dunleavy said in a statement. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere has never been a better face to a franchise in professional sports history, both on and off the court, than Stephen Curry with the Warriors. He embodies everything this organization strives to represent through his legendary play on the court, his unique leadership and sacrifice, and his unmatched impact in the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 38-year-old Curry will complete a $62.6-million extension he signed for the 2026-27 season in August 2024 before the new contract takes him through 2029 – which would be his 20th season.<\/p>\n

If he plays that 20th year, he would join Dirk Nowitzki of Dallas, the late Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers and Udonis Haslem of Miami as the only the players in NBA history to play 20 or more seasons with one franchise.<\/p>\n

Curry averaged 26.6 points, 4.7 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.1 steals while playing 30.9 minutes but was limited to 43 games last season.<\/p>\n

He missed more than two months with a nagging right knee injury before he finally came back in early April. He had initially hoped to return after the All-Star break.<\/p>\n

Curry has won four NBA titles with Golden State, most recently in 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been incredibly blessed to experience 17 years of Stephen\u2019s artistry and are thrilled that our fans will continue to have the opportunity to watch him perform and write additional chapters to his illustrious story,\u201d Dunleavy said.<\/p>\n
