Stephen Curry, who played a pivotal role in defeating France in the Olympic final, is set to extend his contract with the Golden State Warriors by one season. The American point guard is now committed to the California franchise until 2027, as reported by ESPN on Thursday. In 2021, the 36-year-old player had signed a contract extending through 2026, worth $215.4 million.
According to ESPN, this extension will allow the Olympic champion to earn an additional $62.6 million. Curry has always played for the Warriors, a franchise he was drafted by in 2009. During his tenure, he has won four NBA titles (2015, 2017, 2018, 2022) and holds the record for the most three-pointers made in NBA history, with 3,747 long-distance shots.
