*Steph Curry secured his future with the Golden State Warriors by signing a one-year, $62.6 million extension, making it the highest single-season contract in NBA history and keeping him with the team through 2027.
This deal pushes Curry’s career earnings past $500 million, joining LeBron James and Kevin Durant in this milestone.
Meanwhile, LeBron signed a two-year, $104 million contract with the Lakers, which includes a player option and a no-trade clause, but his earnings are lower due to the Lakers’ salary cap constraints.
“I’ve always said I want to be a Warrior for life,” Curry, 36, told Marc Spears Andscape in July, The Mirror reports. “At this stage in my career, I feel like that’s possible.”
Curry has spent all 15 seasons of his NBA career with the Warriors. He is a two-time MVP and has won four championships with the team, most recently in 2022, when he was named Finals MVP.
The AP writes, “Curry is now guaranteed about $178 million for the next three seasons; about $55.8 million for this season, about $59.6 million for 2025-26 and now about $62.6 million — the most the Warriors could offer by league rule — for 2026-27.”
Meanwhile, on the homefront, Curry and his wife Ayesha Curry announced in May the birth of their fourth baby child, a boy named Caius Chai.
“Our sweet baby boy decided to make an early arrival!! He’s doing great and we are finally settling in at home as a family of 6! So grateful!” Steph captioned a black-and-white photo of the newborn’s hand on Instagram.
“Caius Chai 5/11/24” he wrote at the end of the caption
Caius joins older siblings Riley Elizabeth, 11, Ryan Carson, 8, and Canon W. Jack, 5.
