In a monumental development that’s sending shockwaves through the sports world, the Golden State Warriors have officially announced the return of franchise legend Stephen Curry — this time, not as a player, but as a co-owner.
In a joint statement released today, Peter Guber, the current lead owner of the Warriors, and the Curry family confirmed that Stephen Curry has acquired an ownership stake in the team, marking a new chapter in his storied relationship with the organization.
“This franchise is part of my soul,” Curry said during a packed press conference at Chase Center. “I gave everything I had to the game on this court, and now I’m proud to help shape its future from a new seat — as an owner.”
Curry, widely regarded as the greatest shooter in NBA history, played 15 seasons with the Warriors, leading the team to four NBA Championships and revolutionizing the game with his deep-range shooting. His return as co-owner comes just one year after his official retirement from playing in 2024.
A Strategic Move for the Future
While Curry won’t be suiting up again, insiders say he’ll play a key role in basketball operations, mentoring young talent, influencing organizational culture, and contributing to long-term strategic planning.
“Steph isn’t just joining the boardroom — he’s helping redefine the next era of Golden State basketball,” said Guber. “He’s the heart of this franchise.”
Fan Reactions
Social media exploded within minutes of the announcement, with fans across the Bay Area and beyond celebrating the move as a “homecoming” of a different kind.
“The captain is back where he belongs. Not on the court — but in the driver’s seat,” wrote one fan on X (formerly Twitter).
This move adds Curry to a growing list of NBA legends taking post-retirement ownership roles, following in the footsteps of Michael Jordan and LeBron James.
What’s Next?
Curry’s official tenure as co-owner will begin in October 2025, just ahead of the new NBA season. Sources close to the team suggest Curry may also be involved in initiatives to elevate the Warriors’ presence in global markets and youth development programs
