Curry Undecided on Warriors Extension as Cap Choices Loom

Published 23 September 2026

Stephen Curry remains undecided about signing a contract extension with the Golden State Warriors, saying he will make a choice when he has enough information and that the timing will not affect his play. His decision could influence the team’s projected salary-cap flexibility, but no agreement or final terms have been announced. Curry discussed the negotiations with Anthony Slater, saying the Warriors have been open to different options. He is eligible to sign an extension through June 30, 2027, and could consider a maximum deal, a smaller contract or waiting to decide later in the season. Curry said he wants to remain with a competitive team and values the ability to make roster moves. He has not confirmed that he will take less money. The Warriors could have more than $100 million in cap room next summer if Curry, Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler are on expiring contracts, according to Slater’s estimate reported in coverage of Curry’s comments. A new deal for Curry would reduce that projected amount. The estimate depends on contract and roster assumptions, and the available accounts do not provide a single complete calculation of future cap space.
