Stephen Curry has signed a one-year contract with the Golden State Warriors through the 2026-27 season, during which the NBA’s all-time three-point shooting all-time leader and Olympic gold medalist will earn nearly $63 million.

The team announced the signing on Thursday. ESPN first reported the deal, and Curry’s agent, Jeff Austin of Octagon, later confirmed it to The Associated Press.

Curry is now guaranteed about $178 million over the following three seasons; about $55.8 million this season, about $59.6 million for the 2025-26 season and now about $62.6 million — probably the most the Warriors could offer under league rules — for the 2026-27 season.

When the season ends, Curry’s on-court earnings might be roughly $532 million, which currently puts him second in NBA history behind LeBron James, who has earned $580 million in player contracts.

Curry, 36, is entering his sixteenth NBA season, all with the Warriors. He is a 10-time All-Star and 10-time All-NBA selection, has been a component of 4 championships with Golden State and is a two-time MVP. He also played on the U.S. team that won Olympic gold on the Paris Games this summer, including a stunning fourth-quarter performance that helped the Americans beat France within the title game.

Last season he averaged 26.4 points for the Warriors and throughout the regular season he averaged 24.8 points.
