Stephen Curry will no longer be one of the NBA’s most underpaid players, thanks to the league’s new collective bargaining agreement.
The two-time reigning MVP will triple his current salary, going from $12 million this season to $36 million next season, according to an ESPN report published Thursday afternoon.
The league’s new designated veteran player provision would make Curry, who is playing out the last year of a four-year, $44 million extension, eligible in July for a contract reportedly worth an estimated $207 million over five years. That would be the biggest contract in NBA history.
