Many are curious about Steph Curry’s potential decision to retire from the NBA, particularly after recent comments he made regarding his future with the Golden State Warriors. His reflections on career longevity and team competitiveness have sparked speculation about his plans beyond this season.
So, could Steph Curry be considering retirement? For the latest updates on his future with the Warriors and his next steps, read on for the details.
Is Steph Curry retiring from NBA?
In a recent interview with Andscape’s Marc Spears, Steph Curry discussed his future with the Golden State Warriors. He was asked if he would be content staying with the team if they were no longer competitive. Curry was candid in his response.
He reiterated his desire to be a “Warrior for life” and emphasized that staying with the team at this stage feels possible. However, he also acknowledged the challenges of remaining loyal, especially if the Warriors struggle at the bottom of the league.
Curry made it clear that while loyalty is important to him, his competitive drive is a top priority. He expressed his hope that the Warriors will continue to be a team that can contend, as playing for a “bottom-feeder” team simply for the sake of staying put would be difficult for him. Curry remains optimistic that the Warriors will evolve and adapt to the ever-changing NBA landscape, ensuring they remain competitive.
Earlier this year, Curry reflected on his future in the NBA as he began his 15th season with the Golden State Warriors. He admitted that he occasionally considers retirement. However, he made it clear that he doesn’t believe he’s nearing the end of his career.
Curry said, “I think about [retirement] all the time. But the thoughts stop because you gotta get ready for the next game, and there’s a routine and a cycle that goes where you embrace the now. Eventually, you’ll get to a point where you’ll wake up and whatever your body and mind are telling you, ‘It’s time,’ but I don’t think I’m anywhere close to that.” (via Sports Illustrated)
