Stephen Curry considers delaying contract extension with the Golden State Warriors
Summary

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry currently holds an extension offer worth $136.7 million over two years. The 38-year-old guard has not yet signed the deal, fueling speculation about his future with the franchise. Under the NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement's over-38 rule, Curry becomes eligible for a more lucrative three-year contract extension next summer once he reaches age 39. While the possibility exists that he could test free agency, insiders suggest there is an overwhelming likelihood he will finish his career with the team that drafted him. Curry has maintained his typical approach of letting his performance on the court communicate his intentions, and no immediate roster moves are expected to result from the current contract status.
