The Golden State Warriors and superstar guard Stephen Curry remain committed to keeping their partnership intact through the end of his career, general manager Mike Dunleavy said Tuesday.

Both Curry and the Warriors have previously expressed a desire for him to retire in San Francisco, and there has been little to suggest either side has changed its position.

Curry, however, is entering the final season of his contract, which will pay him $62.5 million. That could give both sides greater flexibility if circumstances eventually lead to a different decision.

Dunleavy said Curry has earned the right to determine how and where he finishes his career, while making clear that the Warriors would welcome him back for as long as he wants to continue playing. Curry, he added, has continued to express a strong desire to remain with the team.

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

“Look, if he comes to me and wants to be moved, (controlling owner) Joe (Lacob) and I will talk it through. We wouldn't love it. But he's earned the right to do what he wants. But as far as the messaging or any idea that he'd be anywhere else, that's not a thing we're looking at or he's looking at.”

A 17-year veteran, all with the Warriors, Curry has said he'd like to play another couple of seasons, though wear and tear could become a concern. After appearing in at least 70 games in back-to-back seasons, Curry battled injuries in 2025-26 and finished with just 41 starts.

The Warriors and Curry could reach an agreement on an extension after Aug. 29, when he becomes eligible for up to two years and an additional $136.7 million.

The two-time MVP and 11-time All-NBA player celebrated his 38th birthday on March 14.

“There's two things I'm confident about with Steph,” Dunleavy added. “He really, really wants to win and he wants to finish his career as a Warrior. I don't think that changes tomorrow, Aug. 29, start of the season, middle of the season, end of next season. Those things are going to be consistent.”

The Warriors were 37-45 last season.
