Curry, who has four NBA championships to his name, has spent his entire professional basketball career at the Warriors since the California-based outfit drafted him in 2009.
He's been vocal about his desire to stay with the Warriors and retire with them.
"I've always said I want to be a Warrior for life," he said in July. "At this stage in my career, I feel like that's possible."
That sentiment is echoed by general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr., who reckons Curry will be 'a Warrior for 'life'.

He said: "All that stuff will get figured out, and I think Steph will be - I'd say, pretty confident he'll be a Warrior for life."
In the 2021/22 season, Curry averaged 26.4 points on 40,8 per cent, 3-point shooting, 5.1 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game.
He'll be aiming to inspire the Warriors to another NBA triumph, having helped USA to Olympic gold following his stellar performances in Paris this summer.
