Dell Curry, father of Stephen Curry, has good news for Warriors fans — his son is not even considering retirement.
“He still loves the game,” Dell Curry told DJ Siddiqi of RG.org. “He’s a competitive guy. He wants to win another title, so we’re not even close to that window yet. But when the time comes, I think he’ll make the right decision.”
Stephen Curry is signed through the 2026/27 season, when he’ll be 39. His father believes he can go even longer than that.
“Absolutely, just because he can shoot the basketball, and he’s going to require attention,” Dell Curry said. “Even if you put him in the corner at 40, 41 years old, you have to guard him. That means that he’s creating space for other guys around him. If you can shoot the basketball, there’s a team that can use you in today’s NBA. But if you’re Steph Curry, I think you’re going to be able to play until you say, ‘I’m done.’”
We have more on the Warriors:
- They are promoting head video coordinator, Lainn Wilson, as the new head coach of their NBA G League affiliate in Santa Cruz, Marc Stein tweets. Nick Kerr, son of head coach Steve Kerr, has coached Santa Cruz the last two seasons. He’ll be returning to the Warriors’ NBA coaching staff, according to Stein.
- In his preview of the Warriors’ offseason, Spotrac contributor Keith Smith says they’ve already made their big splash by acquiring Jimmy Butler during the season and signing him to an extension. The front office’s focus should be to find enough depth to complement the veteran-led group, according to Smith, who adds that the team could use an established backup ball-handler and more frontcourt depth, particularly if Jonathan Kuminga isn’t retained.
- Regarding that latter point, the Bulls and Heat have been linked to Kuminga as potential sign-and-trade partners. Get the details here.
