Golden State Warriors evaluate Stephen Curry contract amid knee injury concerns

The Golden State Warriors face complex decisions regarding a contract extension for 38-year-old guard Stephen Curry. While the franchise can offer a two-year, $137 million deal, Curry may choose to delay signing until next summer to provide the organization with additional cap space. Negotiations are complicated by physical concerns following a persistent knee injury that limited Curry to 43 games during the previous season. Described by the player as a "new normal," the overuse issue caused significant swelling and sidelined him for extended periods throughout February and March. This ongoing physical status impacts how the team approaches roster construction and whether they must secure additional talent to remain competitive. The organization is currently balancing its long-term financial flexibility against the health status of its most prominent player.
