NBA: Stephen Curry agrees to a two-year extension with Warriors for $116 million — report

The Golden State Warriors and Stephen Curry agreed to a two-year, $116 million extension, ESPN reported Friday night.

The deal, according to the report, includes a player option for the 2028-29 season.

ESPN also reported that Curry will receive $20 million less than what he could have maxed out at to give the Warriors more salary-cap space for next offseason. According to the report, Curry and the team had been working on several contract ideas once he became eligible for a two-year, $136.7 million max deal in August.

If Curry plays through the 2028-29 campaign, it would be his 20th season, all with the Warriors.

The 38-year-old was limited to 43 games last season, with much of the time missed because of a lingering knee injury. Nonetheless, Curry averaged 26.6 points, 4.4 made 3-pointers and 11.3 attempted 3-pointers per game -- all above his career averages.

A 12-time All-Star drafted seventh overall out of Davidson in 2009, Curry has two scoring titles, two MVP awards and a Finals MVP award to go with four NBA championships. However, the Warriors are coming off a 37-45 season, their worst in a non-shortened season since going 36-46 in 2010-11.

Earlier this week, Curry said he wanted "no drama" with the contract talks, particularly with camp opening next Tuesday.

"The idea of getting back to work is exciting," Curry said Wednesday. "I feel like I've taken advantage of the offseason. I feel like there's no hesitation about where I'm at physically going in. ... But I'm excited about getting back to work."

Curry has career averages of 24.8 points, 4.0 made 3-pointers and 9.4 attempted per game. The latter two marks are NBA records, as is his career .912 free-throw percentage.

He also holds the NBA career marks for 3-pointers made (4,248) and attempted (10,073).
