New on SI: Report: Steph Curry Agrees to Four-Year, $215 Million Extension With Warriors
Steph Curry is staying in Golden State as he becomes the first NBA player to sign multiple $200 million contracts over the course of his career.
Warriors star Stephen Curry agreed to a four-year, $215 million contract extension on Tuesday, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Curry, 33, is now the first player in NBA history to sign a pair of $200-plus million contracts.
Tuesday's extension will keep Curry in Golden State through the 2025-26 season barring a trade. He will earn $59.6 million in the final year of his deal. Curry was eligible to hit free agency after the 2021-22 season before Tuesday's extension was reached.
Curry's 12 seasons with the Warriors have coincided with the most successful stretch in franchise history. He led Golden State to three championships and five straight Finals appearances from 2015-19, and he's earned seven All-NBA selections since 2014. Curry is the Warriors' franchise leader in threes, assists and points.
Golden State will look to return to the Finals conversation in 2021-22 after finishing 39–33 last season. Klay Thompson will rejoin the team after tearing his Achilles, and the Warriors will look to incorporate recent lottery picks James Wiseman, Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody.
