Steph Curry was awarded a well-deserved payday on Thursday.
The veteran guard agreed to a one-year, $62.6 million contract extension with the Golden State Warriors on Thursday, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported, citing Curry's agent, Jeff Austin.
Curry originally was under contract with the Warriors through the 2025-26 NBA season and was set to make approximately $55.7 million this season and $59.6 million in the final year of his deal. Now his new contract will take him through the 2026-27 season alongside longtime teammate Draymond Green and coach Steve Kerr, whose contracts also will expire that summer.

The 15-year veteran, four-time NBA champion, two-time league MVP and 10-time All-Star isn't going anywhere for the next two seasons, and it appears even more likely he will finish his illustrious career with Golden State.
