Steph to stay! NBA superstar inks new deal with Warriors
Curry is 36 and won’t turn 37 until March, but since the extension would activate after his 38th birthday, the rule applies.
The NBA’s 3-point king is entering his 16th NBA season this fall, all with the Warriors, who drafted him No. 7 overall in 2009 after his memorable career at Davidson.
Curry is coming off his first Olympic gold medal after helping power Team USA to the championship in this summer’s Olympic Games.
He provided a critical boost in the last two games, accumulating 60 points and shooting 17-for-26 from deep across the semifinal against Serbia and the gold medal game versus France.
While he won gold this summer, the Warriors are no longer the championship contenders of years past.
He lost long-time running mate Klay Thompson this offseason, with the fellow Splash Brother defecting to the reigning Western Conference champion Dallas Mavericks.
The Warriors will rely on the youth and development of Jonathan Kuminga, Brandin Podziemski and Trayce Jackson-Davis to help raise their ceiling, along with offseason acquisitions Buddy Hield, De’Anthony Melton and Kyle Anderson.
