Stephen Curry Dismisses Imminent Retirement, Targets Another Title

He emphasizes present-tense competition over setting a retirement date.

Overview

  • In a People interview, the 37-year-old said "It'll declare itself" and that he doesn't expect to stop playing soon, and he is under contract through 2026-27 after a one-year extension.
  • He reiterated at All-Star media availability that he is "still chasing championships" and believes the Warriors can make a run if healthy.
  • Curry missed the All-Star Game with a knee issue, and Steve Kerr said there's a good chance he won't play until after the break.
  • Through 39 games he is averaging 27.2 points and leads the NBA in 3-pointers made and attempted as well as free-throw percentage.
  • Golden State is 29-26 after trading Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield to the Hawks for Kristaps Porzingis, who like Curry was expected to be cleared following the break.
