Back in the 2017-18 season, Steph Curry had signed onto being a Warrior with a massive, 5 year/$201 million deal that would’ve made him an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2022. However, similar to how Giannis Antetokounmpo signed an extension with the Bucks a year before becoming a UFA, Curry has done the same.
This new contract of Steph’s keeps him in Golden State till the 2026 offseason. By that time, the 3x champ will have been 38 years old.
Draymond Green is hyped about Steph Curry and his new contract.

Draymond congratulating Steph Curry on this new contract helps NBA fans ponder over how much money the 2x MVP is actually earning per year. On average, Curry will be earning around $54 million a year. In reality however, the contract is back-loaded, so, he will actually be earning $49 million next season and a whopping $59 million in the 2025-26 season.
It’s safe to say that the Warriors are locked into wanting win another championship with their core trio and with Steph eating up as much cap space as he is, signing big name free agents like Bradley Beal is only going to get tougher as the seasons go by.
