As Steph Curry enters his 17th NBA season, it’s only natural to wonder how long the Warriors superstar plans to continue playing basketball professionally.
Curry provided some insight into the matter during a press conference at the American Century Championship on Thursday in South Lake Tahoe.
“I don’t know. I’m just taking it two years at a time,” Curry told reporters. “That’s all I have on my contract left. I hope to be in a situation, where, physically, I have the choice and it’s not made for me, so I’m doing everything I can to stay limber, stay active and do what I do at a high level. Just trying to stay in the moment and see what happens in two years.”

Curry’s numbers from the 2024-25 NBA season certainly would suggest there isn’t a massive physical drop off on the horizon for the two-time NBA MVP. Curry averaged 24.5 points, 6.0 assists and 4.4 rebounds per game in 70 regular-season appearances during his age-37 season, earning second-team All-NBA honors while guiding Golden State to the playoffs.
After signing a one-year, $62.9 million contract extension last August, Curry is linked with the Warriors through at least the 2026-27 NBA season, where it appears the four-time champion could once again reevaluate his future based on the two-year timetable he mentioned.
While Father Time remains undefeated, the NBA is in the midst of seeing all-time greats continue playing at a high level despite reaching ages where players previously would see a major decline. Curry isn’t alone, as fellow superstar LeBron James joined his longtime rival on the All-NBA Second Team after a standout campaign in his age-40 season.
All good things eventually come to an end, but Curry’s recent play and continued hunger to pursue another Larry O’Brien Trophy should insipre hope in the hearts of Golden State fans who are cherishing every opportunity remaining to watch the greatest player in franchise history suit up for the Warriors.
