Golden State Warriors fans, rejoice! Stephen Curry is not going anywhere—except maybe to the top of the NBA charts. On August 30 (PH Time), the Warriors made it official, signing their superstar guard to a one-year extension worth a cool $62.6 million. This new deal keeps Curry with the team through the 2026-27 season, just as he turns 39.

According to NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski, Curry is set to earn a hefty $178 million over the next three years. It’s clear that the Warriors see Curry as their cornerstone, and he’s not just sticking around—he’s staying to make history.

Curry's last season was nothing short of extraordinary. He dazzled fans with an impressive average of 26.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per game. His shooting, especially from beyond the arc, was sublime, hitting nearly 41% of his three-pointers. The highlight of his year? Winning his first Olympic gold medal at the Paris 2024 Games, where he helped Team USA clinch the top spot after a thrilling final game against France.

Despite the Warriors missing the playoffs after a 46-36 season, Curry’s achievements were top-notch. He earned his 10th All-NBA and All-Star selections and clinched the Clutch Player of the Year award, proving he’s still at the peak of his powers.

As Curry heads into his 15th season with the Warriors, there’s been some big changes around him. The departure of his Splash Brother, Klay Thompson, to the Dallas Mavericks, and Chris Paul to the San Antonio Spurs, has left a void. But the Warriors are not backing down. They’ve brought in seasoned players like Kyle Anderson, De'Anthony Melton, and Buddy Hield, hoping these new additions will bolster the team’s chances and support Curry in his quest to lead them back to playoff glory.

With Curry’s talent and the Warriors’ new roster moves, the upcoming season promises to be another thrilling chapter in the Curry-Golden State saga.
