Stephen Curry’s hint at retirement has raised concerns among Golden State Warriors fans. Many wonder how much longer Curry will continue playing for the Warriors. Curry has guided the Warriors to six finals in a decade and won four championships.
Curry’s partnership with Klay Thompson, known as the ‘Splash Bros,’ was pivotal in their success. Thompson’s recent departure to the Dallas Mavericks seems to have deeply impacted Curry. Curry’s future remains uncertain despite signing a one-year extension worth $62.6 million, keeping him with the Warriors until the 2026-27 season.
After returning from the successful Olympic Games, the 36-year-old Curry is back in training, aiming for another championship. However, he recently made a surprising admission to reporters, stating, “You can’t play this game for life, but being with the Warriors this long, you want to keep that championship window open as long as possible.”
The prospect of retiring as a Warrior has sparked debate within the team. Reports suggest Curry had tried recruiting new talent, including rumours of discussions with Paul George before he signed with the Philadelphia 76ers. There are also speculations that Curry might leave if the Warriors fail to find a replacement for Thompson.
