Steph Curry gets $62.6 million Warriors contract extension — for one year
NY Post
Stephen Curry may have just signed his lifetime achievement contract.
The Warriors inked their long-time cornerstone to a one-year, $62.6 million extension that will be added on to his current contract, which runs through the 2025-26 season and paid him about $52 million this past season, followed by $55.8 million this coming year and a tad less than $60 million for 2025-26, per ESPN.
Curry signed for the most he was eligible to receive due to the NBA’s over 38 rule, where a team can extend a player over 38 to just a one-year deal, according to ESPN.
Curry is 36 and won’t turn 37 until March, but since the extension would activate after his 38th birthday, the rule applies.
The NBA’s 3-point king is entering his 16th NBA season this fall, all with the Warriors, who drafted him No. 7 overall in 2009 after his memorable career at Davidson.
Curry is coming off his first Olympic gold medal after helping power Team USA to the championship in this summer’s Olympic Games.

Dylan Garand knew the number off the top of his head. He knew that, between the regular season and playoffs, he’d logged over 160 games with AHL Hartford, and he was right. Before the Rangers recalled him Friday, Garand had served as the Wolf Pack’s goaltender 165 times.
