'Curry is an ankle injury waiting to happen,and rest assured the Warriors will do something stupid like sign him to a max contract'
from the yahoo article comments lol
The Golden State Warriors and star guard Stephen Curry have reached terms on a contract extension, the team announced Wednesday.
The Warriors and Curry's camp have finalized a four-year deal worth $11 million annually, according to the Contra Costa Times, that will take effect starting next season.
Golden State was keen to secure Curry long-term as one of its two cornerstones, alongside center Andrew Bogut, despite Curry's ongoing struggles with ankle problems.
Curry tweeted recognition of the deal and thanks to Warriors ownership Wednesday: "#Dubs Gameday baby. And thanks to Joe Lacob & the Warriors hopefully I can say that for the next 4 yrs. agreed on extension."
Curry missed 40 of 66 games last season and sprained his twice surgically repaired right ankle again in the preseason. The Warriors felt he was still worth the risk given Curry's production when healthy.
Curry joins the Los Angeles Clippers' Blake Griffin and Denver's Ty Lawson as first-round picks from the 2009 draft class to receive extensions.
First-round picks from 2009 faced a Wednesday midnight deadline to secure a contract extension. Those who don't, in most cases, will become restricted free agents in July.
