Stephen Curry became eligible for a new contract extension with the Warriors on Saturday, Aug. 29, and as of Tuesday he still has not signed one, according to ESPN’s Anthony Slater. Slater reported that Curry can currently sign a two-year max extension worth approximately $136.7 million, an option that remains available until a June 30 deadline. A three-year max extension worth roughly $212.9 million would become available only after that deadline passes.
This is a separate matter from Curry’s existing contract. He signed a one-year, $62.6 million extension with Golden State in August 2024 that already covers the 2026-27 season. What became eligible this weekend is a new extension on top of that deal, and it remains unsigned. Slater’s reporting describes both sides as expected to negotiate with a shared goal of keeping Curry in Golden State for the rest of his career, though no agreement has been reported.
The timing is notable. The Warriors have already locked in their training camp plans for the season, announcing they will hold camp at BYU-Hawaii from Sept. 29 through Oct. 3 and open the preseason against the Clippers on Oct. 4. Camp opens with the sport’s most accomplished shooter still playing out the terms of a deal signed two years ago rather than a new one.
For Golden State, getting an extension done before camp would remove any distraction heading into a season where continuity matters after a full offseason of roster construction. Waiting past the immediate deadline would put a larger, three-year commitment on the table instead of the smaller two-year option now available, a decision that carries real long-term cap implications for a team that has leaned on Curry’s below-market value in recent years. Nothing reported so far suggests a rift; it reads as a negotiation still working through the mechanics of value and term length rather than any sign Curry could leave.
