It's no secret that Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry is on the back nine of his NBA career, but the four-time NBA Champion made a candid admission about his playing future in an interview in a media availability at the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship in Lake Tahoe.

According to Warriors insider Anthony Slater, Curry told reporters that he's taking his career two years at a time at this point.

Steph Curry out in Tahoe asked how long he planned to keep playing in the NBA: “I don’t know. I’m just taking it two years at a time. That’s what I have left on my contract right now.”

"I don't know," Curry said. "I'm just taking it two years at a time. That's what I have left on my contract right now."

Curry, who has been the NBA's highest-paid player since the 2017-18 season, will hold that title through at least the 2026-27 season. The two-time MVP is due to make $59.6 million in 2025-26 and an NBA record $62.6 million in 2026-27. Curry's record will be eclipsed by both Devin Booker (72.5 million) and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (71.4 million) when their recently signed extensions take effect ahead of the 2027-28 season.
