Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors remain aligned on the veteran guard finishing his NBA career with the franchise, general manager Mike Dunleavy said on Tuesday.

Curry enters the final year of his current contract, which will pay him $62.5 million. However, both sides continue to signal that they want their long-term partnership to continue.

Dunleavy said Curry has earned the right to decide his future. At the same time, he stressed that the Warriors would welcome the two-time MVP back for the remainder of his career.

“Staying has always been the message,” Dunleavy told reporters. “That’s always been what he’s discussed. I think that’s tracking quite well.”

The Warriors would discuss a trade if Curry requested one, Dunleavy said. However, he added that neither the team nor the player currently expects such a move.

Curry, 38, has spent all 17 of his NBA seasons with Golden State. He has previously said he would like to play for at least another couple of seasons, although injuries could affect his plans.

The veteran guard played at least 70 games in each of the previous two seasons. However, injuries limited him to 41 starts during the 2025-26 campaign.

Curry will become eligible for a contract extension on August 29. The deal could cover two additional seasons and provide up to $136.7 million.

Dunleavy said Curry’s desire to win and his wish to retire as a Warrior remain clear.

“He really, really wants to win and he wants to finish his career as a Warrior,” Dunleavy said. “I don’t think that changes tomorrow, start of the season, middle of the season or end of next season.”

Curry has won two NBA MVP awards and earned 11 All-NBA selections during his career. He also remains one of the defining players in Warriors history.

Golden State finished last season with a 37-45 record, leaving the team with significant work to do if it hopes to contend again.
