After a long time of speculation, they can now be put to rest with Stephen Curry finally signing his extension with the Golden State Warriors. Curry has agreed to a two-year contract extension worth $116 million, and he has a player option for the 2028-29 season.
At 38, Curry is now one of the league's oldest players. Despite his age, he is still quite an effective player because his game relies on his perimeter shooting and his one-of-a-kind motor when it comes to off-ball movement. That makes his game age much better than most players, and that has led to him getting a massive contract to end his career.
Stephen Curry will likely end his career with the Warriors after a new extension
Curry has been one of the faces of the NBA for a long time, and even in his late 30s, he continues to make headlines. The Warriors may not have been the best team in the past few years, but Curry is willing to spend the rest of his career with the team.
This comes after the latest extension that will take him beyond the 2028-29 season with his player option. The Warriors, in the meantime, will be looking for ways to maximize their superstar's career with the organization. Something that is quite rare these days, especially with superstar players.

Aside from the massive extension, it has also been reported that it is actually a pay cut. Bobby Marks reported that Curry has apparently signed the extension that is $20 million less than what he was eligible for. This is a big deal for the Warriors because they can have the spending power to help Curry moving forward.
The Warriors want to maximize every bit of Curry's remaining career, and they will want to compete with the other top teams in the league. In the Western Conference, they have some stiff competition with the Oklahoma City Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs.
Despite all the struggles they may have with the Western Conference, the biggest deal here is that Curry will be playing for the Warriors for the foreseeable future. There is still a chance he might play elsewhere, especially with the player option in the 2028-29 season, but for the meantime, Warriors fans will be celebrating his decision to spend his career with their team.
