Stephen Curry will turn 38 midway through the 2025-26 season. Despite another strong year from the veteran sharpshooter, it’s clear that his time in the NBA is starting to wind down. As such, every summer, the topic of how long he has left in the league begins to crop up, as fans and media alike try to gauge how much longer they can enjoy watching his greatness on a basketball court.
During a recent golfing event, Curry answered the inevitable line of questioning. Rather than speaking in absolutes, he pointed to the two years remaining on his current contract, noting that he is taking the decision “two years at a time.”
“I don’t know,” Curry said, via Anthony Slater of The Athletic. “I’m just taking it two years at a time. That’s what I have left on my contract right now.”
The Golden State Warriors are still trying to piece together a roster capable of giving Curry another run at an NBA title. Mike Dunleavy Jr. moved to acquire Jimmy Butler midway through the season, and Al Horford could be the next veteran through the door. Therefore, it’s clear that the Warriors are embracing the short-term thinking that comes with maximizing the final years of Curry’s NBA tenure.
However, if he’s still putting up big numbers and feels healthy enough to continue playing, it would be foolish to rule out another short-term contract. Fortunately for Warriors fans and the franchise itself, that conversation remains 24 months away.
