On Sunday night (Jan. 25, 2026), the Golden State Warriors cruised to a 111-85 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves – a game where Stephen Curry officially moved into 20th place on the NBA’s all-time scoring list with 26,396 career points, passing Basketball Hall of Famer John Havlicek (best known for his eight championships with the Boston Celtics).
Curry – a 12-time All-Star and two-time MVP – continues to etch his name in history: he remains the NBA’s all-time leader in three-pointers and the Warriors’ all-time points leader. The win improved Golden State to 26-21, holding 8th in the Western Conference standings.
LeBron Still No. 1 – Curry Climbing Current leaderboard:
- LeBron James leads with 42,786 points.
- Curry (26,396) just passed Havlicek.
At his current season average of 27.4 PPG, with roughly 60 games left (this season + next if he continues), Curry could add 950–1,000 points – enough to pass Elvin Hayes (12th all-time). At 37, Curry’s contract runs through 2026-27 – his future beyond that is unclear, but his legacy as one of the greatest ever is already cemented.
Warriors Keep Fighting Despite Injuries The win came at a critical time:
- Jimmy Butler is out for the season (ACL).
- Jonathan Kuminga has a bone bruise in his left knee – likely sidelined until after the Feb. 5 deadline.
- Curry, Melton, and Horford were questionable earlier but Curry played and led.
This victory shows the Warriors can still compete when defense clicks and Curry is on – vital as they fight to avoid the Play-In.
Curry’s Humble Greatness Curry hasn’t spoken specifically about the milestone yet, but his focus remains on the team. As the Warriors build around him and the young core, moments like this reinforce his status as the franchise’s heart.
