Story summary

Steph Curry, star point guard for the Golden State Warriors, is holding off on signing a contract extension while assessing his future with the team. Fans are growing impatient as Curry remains unsigned despite being eligible for a two-year, $136.7 million deal that would keep him in Golden State through the 2028-29 season. This comes during Curry's final year of a previous four-year, $215.35 million extension he signed in August 2021, set to pay him $62.5 million this season.

Curry emphasized that his decision will be based on gathering all necessary information before making an announcement, noting the team’s understanding of his process. He reiterated his desire to retire with the Warriors but also stressed the importance of keeping the franchise competitive moving forward. The delay in signing a new contract is not expected to affect Curry's performance or attitude towards playing for the Warriors this season.
