Stephen Curry, who will turn 37 on Friday, will be 39 years old when his contract with the Golden State Warriors expires. Whenever he is still playing at a high level at that time, Curry would like to play beyond that, he said during An interview at 95.7 Wednesday’s game.
When asked how much time he can continue playing, Curry said: “I don’t know. I have tried to answer that question before, and I said many different things only depending on how I feel that day, but I think everything is measured in the style of ‘Can I reach that level that I expect from myself?’ It is not really attached to the points per game or a thing of the statistics.

Last summer, Curry signed a one -year contract extension and $ 62.6 millionThen, his agreement extends during the 2026-27 season. Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler are also signed until 2026-27, and the Warriors coach Steve Kerr, is signed until 2025-26.
Back in 2015Curry told me that I expected to play “until I am 38 years old or something.” In 2020He told reporters that he wants to play until he is 40 years old, although his wife, Ayesha, gives him “a small look” every time he says that. He is still averaging 32 minutes per game and producing at the All-NBA level, but said at 95.7 the game that, in the correct circumstances, could eventually make a transition to a bank paper.
“Maybe. Yes, maybe. I think everything is on the table,” he said. “To the question of defining, as, ‘How long do I want to play, what will it take me to do that?’ I will answer those questions, but I am open to anything. gain. Nobody wants to be alone, alone existing. If that means I can win, I would address it in any way. “
For Curry, it is “a matter of having clarity” in what he is able to do on the court. He cannot know how to move in 2027, but in 2025 there is still no one more dangerous than him running down the screens.
“Nobody wants to be naive to think: ‘Oh, I’m still that guy’, and you’re not, and you have a system built around you and you have expectations built around that type of team,” Curry said. “Until that moment, we are not there. How you look on the road, I will solve it.”
Curry, who became the leader of all NBA time in triples made in 2021He is on the cusp of becoming the first player to make 4,000 3 in his career. Upon entering the Golden State game against the Sacramento Kings on Thursday, he has made 3,998 3s of career.
“I am insensitive to the 3s because they simply have been flooding, game after game,” Kerr He said to journalists on Monday. “Four thousand is just a crazy number, but it seems a bit natural.”
This season, Curry has made an average of five 3 per game, and made a total of 357 last season. If you really play beyond your current contract, 5,000 are within the scope of the possibility.
