Stephen Curry contract extension: Warriors star set to be first NBA player to hit $60M mark in single season

The deal will keep him under contract through the 2026-27 season

Stephen Curry will sign a one-year, $62.6 million contract extension with the Golden State Warriors on Thursday, his agent, Jeff Austin, told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The deal will keep him under contract through the 2026-27 season, during which Curry will turn 39 years old.

Curry, 36, signed a four-year, $215 million contract with the Warriors in 2022. He is now set to earn $178 million guaranteed over the next three seasons. He is projected to be the first player to earn more than $60 million in a single season in 2026-27.

After being underpaid for the first few seasons of Golden State's dynastic run, Curry has been the NBA's highest-paid player since the 2017-18 season. The four-time NBA champion now projects to hold that title for 10 consecutive seasons.
