NBA: Stephen Curry knows end is near, says he thinks about retirement more than before
The HinduNBA great Stephen Curry said he is appreciating his 16th season, knowing he is closing in on the end of his record-setting career. “It’s OK to accept and acknowledge that the end is near,” Curry said in a clip of an interview posted to the NBA on ESPN’s account on X. And despite being limited to two points in a blowout loss to the Memphis Grizzlies last week -- he was 0-for-7 shooting -- Curry remains a highly productive NBA player. And while his scoring output is down from 29.4 points per game in 2022-23 and 26.4 last season, he’s exceeding his career averages in rebounds and assists. Curry didn’t hit at when he might retire, hinting that he thinks about retirement “more than I probably have before.” He is under contract with Golden State through the 2026-27 season after signing a one-year $62.59 million contract extension on August 29.
