Stephen Curry Not Retiring, Warriors Rejoice

Stephen Curry says he has no plans to retire despite getting older and dealing with injuries, telling The Athletic that his body "is the first point of information" and that playing still makes him happiest. The 38-year-old is averaging 27.2 points but has been sidelined since January with runner's knee, yet he emphasized, "When I'm out there on the court right now, I still get lost in the fun. It's still my happy place." Merlin sees this as a vow to adapt rather than a farewell. Curry has shown durability with 70-plus games in each of the last two seasons and a Hall of Fame career already secured, but he remains a true difference maker when healthy. Expect Golden State to lean into load management and careful recovery to squeeze more prime seasons from the legend.
