On Thursday morning, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Steph Curry, the star of the Golden State Warriors, has signed a one-year contract extension worth $62.6 million. This deal will keep Curry with the Warriors until the 2026-27 season, enhancing the possibility that he will spend his entire NBA career with one team.
It has been a remarkable summer for Curry, who recently claimed a gold medal with Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics, making him only the third player in NBA history to exceed $500 million in career earnings, joining LeBron James and Kevin Durant. In light of this exciting news, Steph and Ayesha Curry announced a significant initiative through their Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation, aimed at benefiting children in the Oakland school district.
“With the new $62.6 million extension finalized, Stephen Curry and his wife Ayesha revealed today that their @eatlearnplay Foundation plans to raise and invest an additional $25 million over the next five years for reading tutoring in @OaklandSchools,” reported Janie McCauley of AP Sports on X

McCauley also had a conversation with the Warriors star regarding this exciting announcement. “This summer has been incredible,” Curry shared in his interview with AP. “After a challenging NBA season, to achieve what we did and secure a victory in the Olympics, along with the initiatives I eagerly anticipate every year—especially concerning our foundation and the efforts we’re making in Oakland—is truly fulfilling. It really puts into perspective how much basketball has impacted my life, the opportunities it has created, and my commitment to making the most of it.”
