Golden State general manager Mike Dunleavy expressed confidence that Stephen Curry will finish his career with the team. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
The 38-year-old Curry hopes to play at least a couple more years and has said he wants them to be with the Warriors. He is set to complete a $62.6 million extension he signed for the 2026-27 season in August 2024.
Whether a new contract will get done right away remains to be seen. Curry becomes eligible for a two-year extension Aug. 29, and general manager Mike Dunleavy said, "I'm pretty confident Steph will finish his career here."
"Ultimately it's his call, his decision, whether that's allowing his contract to run out and move on," Dunleavy said during a video call Tuesday. "Look, if he comes to me and wants to be moved, Joe (owner Joe Lacob) and I will talk it through. We wouldn't love it. But he's earned the right to do what he wants, do those things. But as far as the messaging or any idea that he would be anywhere else, that's not a thing we're looking at or he's looking at."
Curry averaged 26.6 points, 4.7 assists and 3.6 rebounds but was limited to 43 games last season for the Warriors, who will host Denver on Christmas night — playing on the holiday for the 14th straight year.
Closely monitoring his playing time will be a top priority as coach Steve Kerr returns.
