Stephen Curry agreed to a two-year, $116 million extension that keeps him with the Golden State Warriors through at least 2028–29, about $21 million below his $136.7 million maximum. Some fans questioned whether the discount could improve the team’s title chances.
The concession was intended to give general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. and the front office more luxury-tax relief and room to shape the roster. At an average of $58 million per year, some fans said the discount was too small to make a meaningful difference.
Curry was limited to 43 games in 2025–26 by lingering knee issues, prompting some fans to question his durability. Others defended his loyalty to Golden State amid criticism of the deal.
