Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors are currently working on an extension ahead of next season.
The Athletic reports that Mike Dunleavy Jr., Warriors general manager, told reporters that the two sides are negotiating.
“I think there are two things I’m confident about with Steph,” Dunleavy said. “He really, really wants to win. And he wants to finish his career as a Warrior. And I don’t think that changes tomorrow, Aug. 29, the start of the season, the middle of the season, the end of next season. I think those things are gonna be consistent.”
“That’s always been the message,” Dunleavy continued. “And that’s always been sort of what we’ve discussed. I think that’s tracking quite well. Obviously, he’s eligible for an extension coming up at the end of this month, and we’ll talk through all that stuff and can’t speak on it much right now, but I’m pretty confident Steph will finish his career here.”
According to Dunleavy, the ball is Curry’s court.
“But ultimately, it’s his call, his decision. Whether that’s allowing his contract to run out and move on… Tf he comes to me and wants to be moved, (Warriors owner) Joe (Lacob) and I will talk it through,” he said. “We wouldn’t love it, but he’s earned the right to (go) where he wants and do those things. But as far as the messaging or any idea that he would be anywhere else. That’s not a thing we’re looking at or he’s looking at.”
Last season, Curry battled health issues that limited him to just 43 regular-season games.
Despite a lingering knee injury, Curry remained elite when on the floor. He earned his 12th career All-Star selection. He also averaged 26.6 points, 4.7 assists, and 3.6 rebounds per game while firing near 40% from three-point range.
