Steph Curry’s Game-Changing Agreement: A Massive Deal Locked in Through 2027

Steph Curry has solidified his legacy with a groundbreaking new contract, signing a $62.6 million one-year extension that will keep him with the Golden State Warriors through 2027. This deal further cements Curry’s status as one of the highest earners in NBA history, surpassing the $500 million mark in career earnings—a milestone shared by only a few elite players, including Kevin Durant and LeBron James. The contract comes as a reward for Curry’s continued excellence on the court and his unparalleled impact on the game, ensuring that the Warriors’ star will remain the face of the franchise for the foreseeable future.

Curry’s previous contract, a $215.4 million four-year deal, still had two years remaining, but he was eligible to extend his contract early due to the NBA’s “over-38 rule.” This rule prevents teams from offering contracts longer than three years to players who will turn 38 during the contract period, a stipulation designed to manage the risks associated with aging players. Curry, who has defied age-related expectations with his enduring performance, took advantage of this rule to secure an extension that reflects his ongoing value to the Warriors.

However, Curry will face a new chapter in his career without longtime teammate Klay Thompson, who has moved on to the Dallas Mavericks. The duo, known as the “Splash Brothers”, was instrumental in the Warriors’ success over the past decade, leading the team to multiple championships. Curry’s ability to adapt and lead the Warriors without Thompson will be closely watched, as the team looks to build on their legacy while navigating this period of transition.
