At 37 years old and in his 17th NBA season, questions about how much longer he plans to play are natural. Add in a recent knee issue that has forced him to miss games, and the speculation only grows.
But Curry is not entertaining those conversations. His focus remains on competing, improving, and helping the Warriors win.
"It'll declare itself, whenever the time comes to call it quits, which I don't think is anytime soon," Curry told People.com. "I'm not really putting too much pressure on that. Thinking about the end robs you of the now. I'm enjoying the journey of competing and all the work that goes into it. Hopefully that carries me a long way."

In 39 games this season, Curry is averaging 27.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game. He leads the NBA for the third straight year in three-pointers made at 4.5 per game and attempts at 11.5.
He is also shooting a league-best 93.1 percent from the free-throw line for the second straight season, while connecting on 46.8 percent from the field and 39.1 percent from beyond the arc.
Golden State currently sits eighth in the Western Conference with a 29–26 record, battling for a playoff spot. As long as Curry is on the floor, the Warriors believe their window is still open.
