Stephen Curry Becomes Eligible for a Two-Year Extension
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry became extension-eligible Saturday and can sign a two-year deal worth up to $136.7 million before June 30, ESPN's Bobby Marks reports. The Over-38 rule caps any extension at two seasons, though Curry could pursue up to three years by waiting for free agency in 2027. The 38-year-old is owed roughly $62.5 million this season either way, so the fantasy question is workload, not money. Curry was limited to 43 games last season by various injuries, including a knee issue, but still averaged 26.6 points, 4.7 assists, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.1 steals in 30.9 minutes. With Jimmy Butler III (knee) and Moses Moody (knee) rehabbing season-ending injuries, Golden State's offense should lean heavily on Curry, Brandin Podziemski, and Kristaps Porzingis early. That keeps Curry's ceiling high, but his durability risk is just as obvious.

Dalen Terry Lands Training Camp Deal with Warriors
Free-agent guard/forward Dalen Terry has agreed to a deal with the Golden State Warriors, HoopsHype's Michael Scotto reports. Luca Evans of the San Francisco Chronicle adds that it is an Exhibit 10 contract, putting Terry in training camp without a guaranteed roster spot. The No. 18 pick in the 2022 NBA Draft was waived by Philadelphia on July 26 and is not eligible for a two-way deal, making Santa Cruz the likeliest fallback if he does not force a roster move. Terry averaged 3.7 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.4 assists across 48 games between Chicago and Philadelphia last season while shooting 43.9 percent from the field and 36.4 percent from three. With Golden State's 15-man roster already set after adding Brandon Williams and Georges Niang, Terry is off fantasy radars barring a surprise preseason jump.

Georges Niang Signs with Warriors
According to Shams Charania, the Golden State Warriors signed free-agent forward Georges Niang on Tuesday. They've agreed on a one-year, $3.9 million deal for the upcoming season. Niang didn't play at all in 2025 after suffering a fourth metatarsal stress reaction in his left foot. He was traded from the Utah Jazz to the Memphis Grizzlies, but he didn't suit up for either team. Before that, Niang averaged 9.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.4 assists in 21.5 minutes per game in 79 contests with the Cavaliers and Hawks in 2024-2025. He figures to have a role off the bench, but it's unlikely to offer much fantasy value.

Brandon Williams Agrees to One-Year Deal with Warriors
The Golden State Warriors have agreed to sign guard Brandon Williams to a one-year, $2.6 million deal, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Williams is coming off a career-best season in Dallas, where the 26-year-old averaged 13.0 points, 3.9 assists, and 2.9 rebounds in 22.2 minutes across 66 games, including 15 starts. He shot 47.2 percent from the field but just 23.2 percent from three, so his fit will lean more on downhill scoring and ball-handling than spacing. Jimmy Butler III and Moses Moody open some early perimeter minutes, but Williams still sits behind Stephen Curry, Brandin Podziemski, and De'Anthony Melton. He is more of an injury-contingent streamer than a draft target.

Jimmy Butler III Has No Firm Timeline for Return
Golden State Warriors guard/forward Jimmy Butler III (knee) remains without a firm return timeline after undergoing ACL surgery in February, with Danny Emerman of The San Francisco Standard noting that it is too early to read much into a target date. Emerman floated a broad Christmas-to-March window, which fits the uncertainty around a long ACL recovery. Butler tore his right ACL on Jan. 19 after averaging 20.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.9 assists, and 1.4 steals over 38 games. Until he returns, Gui Santos should have the cleanest path to extra wing minutes, while Brandin Podziemski carries more secondary creation next to Stephen Curry. Butler remains a stash with real age and rehab risk.

Brandin Podziemski Stays in Golden State's Plans
Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski is extension-eligible this offseason, and general manager Mike Dunleavy wants to get a deal done "sooner rather than later," according to Kenzo Fukuda. Dunleavy praised the 23-year-old as a winning player and sounded confident the front office has the tools to re-sign him. Podziemski was the only Warrior to appear in all 82 games last season, averaging 13.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 3.7 assists while shooting 45.5 percent from the field and 37.1 percent from three. His late-season starting push next to Stephen Curry gives him a useful fantasy base, especially if his usage keeps climbing on an aging roster.

Stephen Curry Expected to Finish His Career in Golden State
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry is entering the final season of his contract, but general manager Mike Dunleavy expects him to finish his career with the franchise. "He really, really wants to win, and he wants to finish his career as a Warrior," Dunleavy said, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Curry becomes eligible on Aug. 29 for a two-year extension worth up to $136.7 million, and both sides appear motivated to continue the partnership. The 38-year-old was limited to 43 games last season by knee and other injuries, but still averaged 26.6 points, 4.7 assists, 3.6 rebounds, 1.1 steals, and 4.4 threes in 30.9 minutes. Curry remains an elite per-game fantasy option, though availability is the clear draft-day risk.

Brandin Podziemski Eyes Long-Term Deal with Warriors
Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski wants a long-term extension, but the sides remain apart on price, according to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints. Podziemski's camp is reportedly seeking an annual salary in the $22 million to $24 million range, while Golden State prefers a lower number. The 23-year-old is entering the final season of his rookie deal and can reach restricted free agency in 2027 if no agreement is reached. He helped his case last season by averaging a career-high 13.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 3.7 assists, then jumped to 17.5 points, 6.2 boards, and 4.1 assists after the All-Star break. His fantasy ceiling still depends on Stephen Curry or Jimmy Butler III missing time, but the late-season usage bump keeps him relevant as a depth guard with upside.

Stephen Curry Nears Extension Eligibility
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry becomes eligible on Aug. 29 to sign a two-year, $136.7 million extension, and the sides have mutual interest in a deal, according to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints. Curry is entering the final season of his current contract, but trade noise has not gained much traction, with Siegel reporting that he is not expected to request a trade. The 38-year-old averaged 26.6 points, 4.7 assists, and 3.6 rebounds across 43 games last season, while Golden State finished 37-45 and 10th in the West. The roster concerns are real, but Curry remains the offense's fantasy engine as long as his health holds.

Moses Moody Targeting September Return
Golden State Warriors guard Moses Moody (knee) is currently working his way back from a season-ending knee injury. Moody suffered a torn patellar tendon in his left knee in late March. He hopes to be cleared and resume running and on-court activities sometime in September, according to Marcus Thompson II of the New York Times. This is a significant injury, so the Warriors aren't going to rush Moody back on the court. There is currently no timetable for Moody to return to game action. This past season, Moody averaged 12.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.6 assists across 25.7 minutes per game in 60 contests. He's a solid role player for the Warriors, but isn't someone who must be stashed on the IR in fantasy leagues to begin the year.

Kelly Olynyk Draws Warriors Interest
Free-agent forward/center Kelly Olynyk is drawing interest from the Golden State Warriors as they look to fill out the back end of the roster, per Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints. Olynyk, 35, would give Golden State another stretch-big option behind Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford, with his passing and floor spacing fitting the offense around Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. The concern is how much he has left. He averaged just 3.2 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.2 assists with San Antonio last season, and Golden State would be adding him as depth rather than a locked-in rotation piece. Olynyk would need injuries ahead of him to regain fantasy relevance.

Gary Payton II Stays With Warriors
Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II has agreed to a one-year, $3.9 million deal to return to the Bay Area, per Shams Charania of ESPN. The 33-year-old defensive specialist remains in a familiar bench role under Steve Kerr, giving Golden State another low-usage defender around Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. Payton is coming off one of his best seasons, averaging a career-high 7.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 0.9 steals while shooting 58.3 percent across 73 games. His finishing and defense help the Warriors, but limited touches and low three-point volume keep him off most fantasy boards.

Draymond Green Staying in Golden State
The Golden State Warriors signed forward/center Draymond Green to a new contract on Tuesday. The two sides have agreed to a one-year, $27.7 million deal for the upcoming 2026-2027 season. Green declined his player option and entered free agency, likely to give the team extra money to pursue LeBron James. Now that James has signed with the Philadelphia 76ers, Green heads back to the Warriors on a deal worth the same as his player option. Green is entering his age-36 season and is showing signs of regression. He averaged 8.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.5 assists across 27.5 minutes per game in 68 contests last season. He could see a reduced role, but he should still be a significant part of the Warriors' rotation.

Yaxel Lendeborg Sweeps Both Summer League MVP Awards
Golden State Warriors forward Yaxel Lendeborg was named MVP of the 2026 NBA Summer League, a vote of all 30 teams, after averaging 14.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.5 steals across six games in leading the Warriors to the title. He also landed on the All-Summer League First Team and swept the event's two MVP nods, adding it to the Championship Game award from Sunday's win over Cameron Boozer's Grizzlies. The 4.0 assists stand out for a 6-foot-9 forward: playmaking is the skill that should get him on the floor faster than a typical rookie. His immediate fantasy value stays capped on a deep Warriors roster, but the No. 11 pick graded out as one of the summer's clearest risers and a firm long-term asset.

Yaxel Lendeborg Takes Home Summer League Championship MVP
Golden State Warriors forward Yaxel Lendeborg capped a strong Las Vegas run with 21 points, 10 rebounds, two assists, and two steals in Sunday's 94-90 Summer League title win over Memphis, earning Championship Game MVP honors. The No. 11 pick shot 9-of-18 from the floor and 2-of-6 from 3-point range while fueling a 12-point fourth-quarter comeback. The reigning national champion at Michigan brings a two-way, connector profile with real defensive upside. Redraft value is muted to start behind a veteran core of Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, though Jimmy Butler opening the season on the mend from January ACL surgery could free up some early frontcourt minutes. In dynasty formats, he is a clear buy as a pro-ready rookie with room to grow.
