Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry recently spoke about his potential NBA retirement, setting off alarms among his fans. The comments came before the preseason matchup between the Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers, where all eyes were on him.
At 37 years old, Curry may already be contemplating life after basketball. While he remains focused on the upcoming 2025–26 season, he is also starting to reflect on what comes next once he steps away from the professional game.
A clear perspective on leaving the NBA
According to Mundo Deportivo, Curry gave an interview before the game, where a question about retirement caught everyone’s attention. “I know it’s closer than it was yesterday, but I try not to put a timeline on it,” he said.

He didn’t set a date for his departure, but acknowledged that his time in the NBA is winding down due to the league’s physical demands. “It takes me a little longer to warm up for practices now,” Curry admitted. “And recovery after games lasts a bit longer… It’s funny to recognize that, because the more you talk about it, the more you appreciate what it takes to prepare for every game.”
Looking ahead, Curry expressed confidence in the Warriors’ potential this season. “We can compete head-to-head with any team in the Western Conference,” he stated, showing both his belief in the franchise and his enduring passion for the game.
