Since being selected seventh overall by the Golden State Warriors in the 2009 NBA Draft, Stephen Curry has carved out a legendary career. The Warriors have reached the NBA Finals six times, securing four championships with Curry as their cornerstone. At 37, Curry boasts an illustrious resume: two MVP awards, one Finals MVP, two scoring titles, and a record as the NBA’s all-time leader in 3-pointers made. His career averages of 24.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 6.4 assists over 1,026 games cement his status as a future first-ballot Hall of Famer.
This season, Curry appeared in 70 games, averaging 24.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 6.0 assists while shooting 44.8% from the field, 39.7% from beyond the arc, and an impressive 93.3% from the free-throw line. The Warriors advanced past the Houston Rockets in a thrilling seven-game first-round playoff series in 2025 but fell to the Minnesota Timberwolves in five games in the second round. Curry’s postseason was cut short by a Grade 1 left hamstring strain sustained in Game 1 against the Timberwolves, forcing him to miss the remainder of the series.
With two years remaining on his contract—$59.6 million next season and $62.6 million in 2026-27—speculation about Curry’s future has begun to swirl. Some fans and pundits believe the 11-time All-Star could retire in 2027 when his contract expires. However, Curry’s father, Dell Curry, recently offered a surprising perspective that has sent shockwaves through the NBA community.
“He still loves the game,” Dell Curry told RG.org. “He’s a competitive guy. He wants to win another title, so we’re not even close to that window yet. But when the time comes, I think he’ll make the right decision.”
Dell’s comments suggest that Curry has no intention of stepping away from the game anytime soon. His passion for basketball and drive to capture another championship could keep him in the league well beyond 2027. As one of the greatest shooters in NBA history with nothing left to prove, Curry’s pursuit of another title will be a storyline to watch closely. Whether he can lead the Warriors to another championship before hanging up his sneakers remains one of the most compelling questions in the NBA.
