Having surgery on both ankles has got to be brutal. Absolutely a great player on the team. Big loss for the team entering the 2024-25 season. I wish him a speedy recovery.

Not gonna happen and they would be still called the Philadelphia 76ers if that somehow would happen I imagine. I know theirs plans for the Team to get a new Arena and that stalling recently but this News just might turn things around to get the Arena finished in Center City Phila in a few Years time.

Steph Curry signed a 1-year, $62 million extension that wlll keep him with the Golden State Warriors until the end of 2026-2027 season.

1 year....$62 million

 

[Doom]

That's an insane amount of money to keep your golden goose on the team until he retires. And for that, I don't blame them. He's won 4 NBA titles with the team. Kudos Steph!

Crazy stat to add to this, but if Steph plays out the entirety of this contract(which I have no doubt he will), he'll join LeBron and KD as the only players to have earned $500 million in NBA history
