Golden State Warriors icon Stephen Curry isn’t one to make noise without purpose—but when his health and longevity are on the line, even the quietest superstar speaks up. Amid Steve Kerr’s growing frustrations with the NBA’s demanding schedule, Curry offered his own measured response, revealing he’s focused on the next two years of his career, hoping to retire on his own terms. “I’m just taking the two years at a time. That’s all I have on my contract left,” Curry told reporters. “I hope to be in a situation where physically I have the choice and it’s not made for me.”
This statement comes after head coach Steve Kerr publicly criticized the NBA’s scheduling, particularly the back-to-back games with brutal travel and late tipoffs. He accused the league of prioritizing TV ratings over player health. “Clearly, [the NBA] don’t care about rest or player health,” Kerr said. “It’s just ratings and all that stuff.”
Kerr has long campaigned for a shorter season, arguing it would reduce injuries, improve performance quality, and help players like Curry extend their careers. But league commissioner Adam Silver has shown little interest in cutting games, citing financial drawbacks.
Curry has been targeted physically in recent years, including incidents like Dillon Brooks hitting his injured thumb post-shot. Kerr has even considered sending footage to the league to highlight the unnecessary contact Curry absorbs.
With no league intervention in sight, it seems Curry is preparing to protect both his body and his legacy, his way.
