Stephen Curry is currently in his 16th season with the Golden State Warriors and is signed through the 2026-27 season. Since being selected as the seventh overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft, he has remained with the franchise. Now celebrating his 37th birthday, discussions about his long-term future in the league have surfaced multiple times over the years.

During a recent interview with Steiny & Guru on 95.7 The Game, Curry was asked how many more years he envisions playing in the NBA. Instead of providing a definitive timeline, he explained that his decision will be based on his ability to maintain his high level of play.

“I’ve tried to answer that question before. I’ve said a lot of different things just based on how I feel that day. But I think it’s all kind of measured on the style of, ‘Can I get to that level that I expect from myself? That’s not really attached to points per game or a stats thing,” Curry said.

“It’s just a feeling, like, ‘Can I dominate a game? Can I play my style for 30+ minutes?’ So I know how my contract’s lined up. And I’d like to outplay that, for sure. How long that goes? I have no idea,” he added.

Stephen Curry Addresses Warriors’ Championship Hopes With Jimmy Butler

While Curry’s future remains an open question, the immediate focus is on the Warriors’ current season. The team made a significant move by acquiring Jimmy Butler. Many believe it has transformed them into legitimate title contenders. However, Curry was cautious when addressing those expectations.

“I like where we are right now; I think we have what it takes to do it. But I’m not fast-forwarding to say we are a championship team now because we have another level to get to,” Curry said.

Since Butler joined the team, they have won 13 of their last 14 games and climbed from 11th to sixth place in the Western Conference standings. Whether this second-half resurgence translates into another championship run remains to be seen, but Curry remains focused on the journey rather than the destination.
