Stephen Curry's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (finger) will jump back into the lineup for Tuesday's preseason action against the Lakers. Curry hurt his finger on Friday against Sacramento and sat out Sunday's matchup against Detroit. However, he's good to go again on Tuesday for Golden State's penultimate preseason game. Curry has yet to exceed 16 minutes in the preseason while steadily working himself into shape for his 16th season in the Association. With him shooting a below-par 4-for-14 from deep in preseason, the veteran star clearly still has some rust to shake off.

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry enters his 16th NBA season with the aim of proving doubters wrong. "I love the fact that people don't think we can keep the pace with some of the other teams that they're picking in the West," the multi-time MVP said in an interview with People. "And I just love that challenge of stepping into a training camp and being able to create your own success -- that gets me going. And obviously coming off of this Olympic experience, I'm trying to channel that energy all year." Curry and the Warriors missed the playoffs for the third time in five years last season. We could see a huge campaign from him, as Curry will be tasked with lifting Golden State back among the Western contenders.

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry agreed to a one-year, $62.5 million extension on Thursday, keeping him under contract with the team until the 2026-27 season. The 2009 No. 7 overall pick is one of the best players in the history of the NBA. In 956 regular-season games with the Warriors, he's averaged 24.8 points, 6.4 assists, 1.5 steals, and shot 42.6% from behind the arc. His resume also includes numerous trips to the All-Star game, four rings, and two MVP awards. While Curry is nearing the end of his historic career, he should have at least a few more seasons of top-25 fantasy production. The 36-year-old also appeared in 74 games during the 2023-24 campaign, his most since 2016-17. With Klay Thompson now in Dallas, Golden State will need Curry healthy. If that happens, it's not unrealistic to believe he'll be mentioned in the MVP conversation at some point this season.
