Stephen Curry has signed a two-year contract extension with the Golden State Warriors, accepting a salary reduction of approximately $20 million to create cap space for the team. The deal includes a player option for the 2028-29 season, allowing Curry to remain in San Francisco while potentially helping the franchise acquire additional talent.
Stephen Curry is delaying his contract extension with the Golden State Warriors to determine if taking less than the maximum salary would provide the team enough cap space to acquire a star player. While Curry has confirmed he wants to finish his career in San Francisco, he is waiting for a concrete plan from the front office that justifies a financial haircut. This decision could unlock over $50 million in cap space, allowing the Warriors to pursue high-profile targets like Nikola Jokic or Anthony Edwards at the February trade deadline.
Lonzo Ball clarified that he has not retired from the NBA, stating he is waiting for a team to show interest in signing him, potentially as a midseason injury replacement.

Google Pixel Watch 5 is expected to launch around Aug 20, with a Stephen Curry edition featuring an exclusive woven band in stone gray and taupe with orange accents; the 45mm variant costs $669/€579, about $35/€30 more than the regular model, and will be available only while stocks last in select markets, with the event two days earlier also set to reveal the Pixel 11 series.
Google’s Stephen Curry-edition Pixel Watch 5 has leaked marketing materials; the main feature is a woven-band design with Curry branding rather than major changes to the watch itself. It’s priced at €579.99 (~$669) versus €549 for the standard 45mm LTE model and is expected to be limited with availability not guaranteed in all countries, likely arriving around August 20. The move continues Google’s Curry collaborations, following the Stephen Curry Edition Fitbit Air earlier this year, and carries the campaign’s “Lock In” mantra.
The piece argues that re-signing Al Horford on a two-year deal while signaling a post-Curry focus exposes the Warriors’ divided strategy—trying to contend now while planning for a future without Curry—leaving them in mediocrity and struggling to attract big-name players. It questions why they didn’t let Horford walk for a younger, floor-spacing center and suggests the team is stuck between two directions.
Speculation swirls about Stephen Curry's future with the Warriors as aging stars and a changed roster loom, with reports of a rift with management and Curry's looming extension decision; while he could become a 2027 free agent, market indicators strongly favor him staying in Golden State or retiring by 2026, making any trade before 2027 unlikely.
Stephen Curry may use a late‑summer extension as leverage to push Golden State toward a deeper playoff run, fueling rumors the Warriors could shuffle Moody, Podziemski, and multiple first-rounders; Peyton Watson’s restricted status and the Nuggets’ second‑apron constraints complicate any sign‑and‑trade, while a broad set of rumored targets and possible blockbuster deals across the league illustrate a volatile offseason for the NBA.
Steph Curry weighed in on LeBron James’ choice to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers over the Warriors, saying free agency is fluid and Golden State faces an aging roster; while the team explored options like Anthony Davis or DeMar DeRozan, a mid‑season upgrade may be the path forward as they reassess their competitiveness.
Stephen Curry publicly commented for the first time since LeBron James opted for Philadelphia, underscoring the unpredictability of free agency and the Warriors’ precarious future as they juggle aging stars and injuries (Jimmy Butler’s ACL recovery, Moses Moody’s knee injury) while Curry contends with an expiring $62.6 million contract and a push to keep Golden State competitive next season.
Stephen Curry said on Good Morning America he would pitch LeBron James to sign with the Warriors, arguing the Bay Area is where he could finish his career the right way; Draymond Green confirmed he also pitched James during a golf trip, while ESPN's Shams Charania said the Warriors are among five teams still in the mix after James left the Lakers, with the Cavaliers, Heat and 76ers also in contention. The Warriors may need other offseason moves—like re-signing Al Horford and Kristaps Porziņģis and hiring Frank Vogel—to stay appealing to James.
Stephen Curry sits in third after opening round at Edgewood Tahoe, carding 25 with six birdies, two bogeys and a double bogey; Austin Reaves shot 10 to tie for 25th, with nine bogeys on the round. Joe Pavelski leads the 2026 event with 29, followed by Mardy Fish at 27, while Tony Romo and Annika Sörenstam sit further back. The 54-hole event uses a modified Stableford system (three-under-par = 10 points; eagle = 6; birdie = 3; par = 1; bogey = 0; double-bogey or worse = -2). Curry will look to move up in Saturday’s second round.
Stephen Curry described the Warriors' approach to LeBron James as simple—highlighting their basketball style and Bay Area lifestyle—as free agency rumors swirl and LeBron’s decision looms; the piece also notes potential destinations for James and contemplates the idea of a Warriors–LeBron pairing, while Curry emphasizes the team must weather injuries and stay prepared for whatever the summer brings.
Tim Kawakami explains that the Warriors are lining up a five-point pitch to LeBron James, led by Joe Lacob and Mike Dunleavy with Curry, Kerr, and Draymond Green. The strategy mirrors the Durant recruitment era while accounting for aging stars and a stacked Western Conference, emphasizing a comfortable, low-disruption landing in the Bay Area, potential championship viability, lifestyle and proximity perks, a tension-free leadership dynamic under Curry, and a shot at reviving a dynasty. With Lakers’ fate unsettled, Golden State is positioned as a favorite, though they can only offer the non-taxable midlevel and nothing is guaranteed.
