LeBron plays his first game in purple and gold

Stephen Curry has agreed to sign a one-year, $62.6 million contract extension that will tie him to the Golden State Warriors through the 26-27 season. Curry had $115.3 million remaining over the next two seasons on his contract.

The Warriors have privately and publicly maintained the position that they will offer Curry the $62.6 million year onto his contract if he wants it. Curry will be playing in his age-38 season on that extension. Curry is represented by Jeff Austin.

Curry previously signed extensions with the Warriors in 2012 and 2021, as well as a free agent contract in 2017.

In 74 games last season, Curry averaged 26.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.1 assists in 32.7 minutes.

The San Antonio Spurs are exploring the idea of a downtown arena to replace AT&T Center, which has been their home since 1999.

The Spurs’ lease at AT&T Center expires in 2032.

“People are having a conversation about an arena for the Spurs downtown,” said Eddie Aldrete, who ran the successful campaign for public funding for the AT&T Center.

The site of the downtown arena could also include a minor league baseball stadium for the San Antonio Missions. The two projects could be built side by side that would create a downtown professional sports district.
