However, the 37-year-old 3-point specialist isn’t feeding into that type of talk and says he hasn’t given any thought about it in his 17th season.
Curry told People Magazine that he’s ‘not really putting too much pressure on that.’
‘Thinking about the end robs you of the now,” Curry said. “I’m enjoying the journey of competing and all the work that goes into it. Hopefully that carries me a long way.”
He has shown zero signs of slowing down. Curry has averaged 27.2 points on 46.8/39.1/93.1 shooting splits in 39 games during the 2025-26 regular season.
However, he’s faced minor setbacks this season. Curry just recently missed the All-Star Game and the two previous games for the Warriors as he nurses soreness in his right knee.
The Warriors remain eighth in the Western Conference standings at 29-26. If the postseason began today, they would have a play-in game for the No. 7 playoff spot against the Phoenix Suns.
With the Warriors still hanging in contention and Curry as competitive as they come, there is no retirement in the near future.
‘I’ll declare itself, whenever the time comes to call it quits, which I don’t think is anytime soon,” Curry told People.
Curry was drafted by the Warriors with the seventh pick of the first round of the 2009 NBA Draft. He since has become a 12-time All-star, four-time NBA champion. two-time league MVP, a Finals MVP and an Olympic gold medalist.
He is arguably the greatest NBA 3-point shooter ever and was named to the NBA’s 75th anniversary team.
One thing’s for sure: He’s playing next season.
Curry signed a one-year, $62.59 million veteran contract extension with Golden State through the 2026-27 season.
He already has agreed to participate in the NBA 3-Point Contest during the 2027 NBA All-Star Weekend in Phoenix following a request from this year’s 3-point contest winner Damian Lillard.
Curry is the NBA’s all-time leader in 3-point shots made with 4,233.
