Golden State Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy indicated strong optimism that two-time NBA MVP Stephen Curry will conclude his professional career with the franchise. The 38-year-old guard has communicated his desire to remain with the Warriors for the remainder of his playing years, according to Dunleavy’s remarks during a Tuesday video conference.
Curry is eligible to sign a two-year contract extension beginning August 29 and is currently set to complete a $62.6 million deal through the 2026-27 season, which he inked in August 2024. While Dunleavy acknowledged that any new agreement remains uncertain, he stated: “I’m pretty confident Steph will finish his career here.”
The Warriors general manager emphasized that any decision regarding Curry’s future ultimately rests with the player himself. Dunleavy noted that should Curry request a trade, management would consider it, but stressed that no such discussions are currently underway between the player or team leadership.
Curry averaged 26.6 points, 4.7 assists and 3.6 rebounds last season but appeared in just 43 games due to a persistent right knee injury that sidelined him for more than two months. Coach Steve Kerr, who recently signed a contract extension through the 2025-26 season, will prioritize managing the star’s workload moving forward.
The Warriors finished last season 37-45 and missed the playoffs’ top ten seeds in the Western Conference after suffering season-ending knee injuries to Jimmy Butler and Moses Moody. Golden State will host Denver on Christmas night in what marks the franchise’s 14th consecutive holiday game appearance.
Dunleavy stated he has detected no change in Curry’s commitment to the Warriors as the 18-year veteran heads into the upcoming campaign. “There’s two things I’m confident about with Steph. He really, really wants to win and he wants to finish his career as a Warrior,” Dunleavy said, adding that this sentiment has remained consistent throughout their discussions.
